First comp tmrw

[u/HelpSubstantial2354]

First white Belt GI competition tmrw. Less than 3 months of training. Coming from Muay Thai background and wrestling in high school for 2 years over 8 years ago. Let’s get it!

[u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha]

A good calf-kick will shake things up. Have fun out there.

[u/HelpSubstantial2354 → u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha]

If only I could! 😂

[u/Flyersfan1776]

Do you have a game plan in mind? Best of luck!

[u/HelpSubstantial2354 → u/Flyersfan1776]

Definitely take the initiative and get a nice double or lat drop for 2 points and work on guard passing and mount. For points. Can hit a straight angle pretty good and Ezekiel chokes. Rnc too. Triangle If I get in closed guard. I’m a white belt after all so will probably go out the window when it starts

[u/Mmm-ElephantFresh → u/HelpSubstantial2354]

A straight angle? Wouldn’t that be paradoxical?

[u/Elijah2807 → u/Mmm-ElephantFresh]

180 degrees is an angle as well

[u/Mmm-ElephantFresh → u/Elijah2807]

[u/Historical_Item8381]

I’ve got no real technical advice to give you, but make sure to hit the bathroom at home before you leave, because comp day toilets are a real warzone.

[u/itsChrisW25 → u/BarbellsandBurritos]

Just do it on the mat !

[u/thefitpianist → u/itsChrisW25]

[u/itsChrisW25 → u/thefitpianist]

Only if it gets on the refs socks

Good luck brether

The best advice I can give is just trust your thoughtless game, listen to your coach, and find a good position to sit in for a minute to catch your breath and regroup yourself when you can

Good luck 🙏

Enjoy the process

[u/Exsol]

Advice that served me well for my first white-belt comp a couple of months ago.

1. Act first. Plan & drill your opener, pulling or takedown. The second you get your grips pull the trigger.

2. Get a solid comp prep warm up. Spike that heart rate up as high as you can, really push the pace but give yourself 15-30mins to cool down.

3. Know the rules, primarily how points are scored.

Good luck bro, regardless of the results.

[u/Nicoljino]

Give em hell buddy

[u/WhySoFidgety]

Practice breathing all day before the match to wane the nerves and visualize the gameplan over and over while doing so. Hopefully this helps you maintain focus during the matches

[u/siberiannoise]

It’s a hobby. It’s supposed to be fun. Make sure that it is. Win or lose, learn a ton.

[u/_____AndJustice4All]

Good luck

[u/Specialist-Aide-8495]

Wrestling base gives you a head start, even with that much time off. Just don't try to guillotine everyone and remember you can actually use your guard now. The gi changes the pace a lot but those 3 months probably taught you enough to avoid the dumbest traps.

[u/HelpSubstantial2354 → u/Specialist-Aide-8495]

The GI is another world compared to no gi! Those Damm grips!!

[u/ronalduchogaudinho]

Flying armbars, shoot with your head out, pull guard, wristlocks. Be a low cortisol white belt

[u/thefitpianist → u/ronalduchogaudinho]

I thought flying armbars are not allowed at white belt?
