When you're at the tournament, you want to have fun, but you don't want to get caught up in other activities and lose focus. Furthermore, I recommend that you register before the event so you don't get caught in long lines on the day of the event, which can cause you to lose momentum and create anxiety. You want to be relaxed at the tournament. You want to get all of the paperwork out of the way as soon as possible. TIP 7 Warm up about an hour before you're supposed to compete.
Some guys make the mistake of warming up too early Then they have to get warm again.
By the time they are ready to compete, they're drained. Therefore, find out when your division is going to start, and warm up accordingly. Also, wear shoes while you're warming up. Most locations have concrete floors, so it's important to have the proper footwear. If you stomp and yell after losing, the judges will remember your disrespectfulness and negative attitude.
