So I'm entering my first BJJ competition next Saturday. Apart from a bit of last minute training/rolling (I'll go to about 4-5 90 minute classes in the days until then), is there anything in particular I should do/avoid doing to prepare? I've been at it for about 6 months, should I try to cram as much BJJ knowledge as possible into my head (reading the poo poo out of my roommate's copy of Jiu Jitsu University, for example)? I'm not too concerned about my weight, I'm 3 lbs under the limit for the class I'll compete at. Anything you can offer that'll reduce my chances of being on the receiving end of an rear end-kicking would be much appreciated. My buddy used to wrestle in high school and did pretty darn well in provincial competitions, should I get him to teach me how to double/single leg some bitches?

Wait for your opponent to pull guard, step a leg over their guard, leg drag their outside leg across your body, tap. Go for gold. A lot of your first tournament is basically learning to chill out and use what you know under stress. I wouldn't try to cram in techniques you aren't familiar with; odds are if you even remember them in a match you won't be very comfortable with them. Most of the one sided matches at white belt I've seen tend to involve one guy who can wrestle and one who can't, maybe work on wrestling this week.

You'll learn all about how (not to) properly warm up before you step on to the mats, how to If you absolutely have to get some advice, it would be this "try to stay relaxed, as impossible as it is, and if you're fighting people the same experience level as you - they're as gassed as you are!"

just like hs wrasslin, have two moves to each side in every situation that you know you can execute. Stay relaxed and stay technical. But remember he's not ur buddy so you can be ruff. Also don't be too relaxed that some jerk traps ur foot in half guard for like 2 minutes.

Try your best to force them to play your game. If you're a guard guy, pull guard. If you're a top control guy, aggressively pursue the takedown. Of course, try your best to be prepared for when poo poo doesn't go your way (which is pretty often). If you're not a wrestler, accept the possibility that you'll get taken down and stalled out. If you are a wrestler, take the guy down and stall him out, because stalling rules.

I joined the free rolling session last night at my gym... like I anticipated it was just me getting tapped out repeatedly. Also, I found that when I was in survival mode, any techniques that I had learned just kinda went out the window and I ended up doing what was "natural" and led to me getting subbed or in worse positions. Is there a point where the stuff Im learning in the classes becomes natural by drilling more or do I just have to calm the gently caress down haha.

Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate it. I'll see about getting some wrestling help, and I'll stay calm and focus on the things I know how to do and am comfortable doing. I'll let you know how it goes; even if I get subbed hilariously, I look forward to the experience.fawker posted:Is there a point where the stuff Im learning in the classes becomes natural by drilling more or do I just have to calm the gently caress down haha. Speaking as someone who just started recently: both. I actually think one of the coolest things about BJJ is just how much better and more comfortable practice makes you. I'm leagues beyond where I was 3 months ago, and nowadays when someone whoops my rear end or lands a really sweet takedown/sub/sweep on me I just get stoked and ask them to teach me. It's all learning, and it all rules.

Like if a guy taps you out three times in a row with an armbar from guard, ask him what you're doing wrong and he'll probably tell where you should be putting your arms instead of on his chest

Noted. I'm definitely doing gi, that's like a gift-wrapped gi choke. Do you typically just employ pro wrestling moves you see on TV, or is there some kind of cortX-techniques wiki I should know about?

I had a video of a bunch of stuff I use from under side control but I took it down 'cause it was right after a bunch of guys were getting poo poo for having instructionals without the credentials to back it up (Ari Bolden, Brandon Quick) and considering I'm only a blue belt I didn't feel like it was a good look for me to be making videos showing people how to do moves.

Bummer. Under side control is usually where I find myself being crushed and unable to do much, especially against bigger opponents (which is pretty much everyone). Verdum, I ain't.

Myself I love the back and a lot of my game is built around getting there so if someone turtles up on me I'm almost always looking for a way to get to the back, and if not only because I'm responding to something like the other guy reaching back to turn in by going for a guillotine or something. Usually after establishing my hands (I make a fist with my far side arm and try to use it to lever the far side leg out, near side arm levers up under their near side armpit I try a spiral ride or two to see how the guy in turtle reacts, that's kind of like this but using a knee to block your opponent's near side leg so they rotate onto their butt rather than flattening out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxQ8KNlBLnI If my opponent reacts by really widening his base to keep on balance that's usually an opportunity to just sink in the hooks from the turtle, though you should make sure to keep your weight back and probably go with double underhook control if you're having issues being bucked off. If all else fails I personally will try a somersault back take a la Leo Viera against Eddie Bravo, which isn't actually very hard to do, but often doesn't really work because my opponent blocks my hooks, like Bravo did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCCikDvdrCI And yeah, as you practice techniques they do become instinctual and even better the fundamental ideas behind them become instinct so even if you're in a position that you're not totally sure about you kinda have an idea what to do, and part of that is chilling out, which at the very least will allow you to roll for more than five minutes without gassing. Personally the instinct to go for a rolling back take is beginning to sink in for me and goddamn do I love this back take. Strangely enough I think I first ran into it as a part of Eddie Bravo's twister stuff. It owns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjF6DV9QfJ0 Hall pulled it off in his UFC superfight with Hermes Franca off of a waiter sweep from deep half and that's probably my favorite technique chain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mJT_PgVgPY&feature=related Please only watch like the first thirty seconds of that. Also, lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k5cSqIbH1Y&feature=related

The problem with those guys isn't so much that they're not qualified(Ari probably isn't, but for all of Quick's poo poo a lot of his material seemed pretty good) it's that they misrepresented there level and at least in Ari's case a lot of what he was teaching was loving awful. As long as you're not wearing a black belt or fronting like your some kind of expert put up whatever you want. Side note: My coach kimura/americana'd(I'm not sure which)two people from under side control today.

Verdum, I ain't. underhook, scoot your hip out until you can heist to your knees. Then learn to defend a front headlock (hand fight, redrag) once you get there. Seriously, learning to underhook is probably the most important skill to getting off the bottom from pretty much any position. It's not flashy, tricky, or en vogue. It' a working mans move, and can make for a hard fight off the bottom vs bigger dudes. However, the success rate is amazingly high, and underhooking will keep you from getting subbed while you figure out where the rest of the moves are.

My instructors are just kind of old school and considering I've said on here where I train and for some reason some people from here don't like me, I figured I was better off just taking it down. I'll probably do some more videos eventually 'cause they're fun but it'll probably be more along the lines of just rolling or pushed as an exhibition thing rather than "this is how you do moves", which I tried with the last one but I still felt like it came off as me showing people how to do moves. Me and Bohemian Nights still have to roll and should film that. Maybe before or after watching UFC 128 next weekend. Depends on how badly my body is falling apart that day. And I think when I shot the bottom side control video I wasn't even a blue belt yet so that added to it as well. Not that a blue belt really qualifies me to make internet instructionals but a white belt did even less.

We can make this happen! Also, Biafraid, no-one can really prepare you for your first competition. It's something you have to experience for yourself! I think the most important thing is to just to relax (and remember to breathe). Unless you're some kind of prodigy that just rolls over everyone on your first go, you'll learn a lot from the competition; About what you can make work, and what works against you. You'll also probably gas like gently caress from going 100% from start to finish while holding your breath.

I don't do heel hooks on most of my training partners; I only do it with the other guys who know what they are and when/how they're dangerous, and still ask before every round. Kneebars aren't dangerous unless you're a complete idiot and don't tap; even then I'll catch and release with newbies on things like that if I feel like they're trying to be a hero and not tap. I've been heelhooked hundreds of times in training to no ill effect, but I did blow my knee out shooting a double of all things(grappler can't wrestling)

doubles cause quite a bit of knee strain, it seems like most knee injuries involve shooting. I don't do standup much, but I don't really like looking for doubles when I do, because I can just feel all that knee pressure. Also, I am tall and long limbed, so shots are not exactly my natural realm.
