Well, I said I wasn’t going to compete again for a while, but I find myself up u reasonably early, on my way to a tournament. I don’t know why I have given in. I have 0 confidence which will pretty much guarantee 1 and done… Today is the 2014 Ascension gi tournament. Tomorrow is nogi. I had to register a weight division up because of the fat… Sigh.
Good luck brother! Don’t be so down. If you feel underprepared and overweight then you have nothing to lose. You’re not you at your best. So whether it’s win or lose you know in your head that you’re not 100%. Just go out there and have fun and put less pressure on yourself.
Oh I had nothing to lose. And lose I did. At least the matches didn’t go long enough for me to get hurt. We’ll see if I can avoid pain in nogi tomorrow as well.
How was no-gi, Anthony? By the way – I agree with Chewy. When things are down, just remember there are a ton of people who see your picture and think, “man, I wish I could look, and be as fit as, that guy.” Others are saying, “I wish I had his BJJJ skills.” You no doubt have high standards for yourself.
