For those of you competing at NAGA on Feb 6, I was thinking we should get together at open mat and do some tournament style rolling. Lets get in the mindset to win and get or conditioning up. Bring both gi and No gi stuff.
This could be good for new guys too. We have an in house tournament in March and this could be valuable rolling time.
Work on your strategies with an actual clock. I know from personal experience that in a tight match with minutes remaining you don't want to make a mental mistake.
Open Mat is typically friday from 6pm-8pm. Naga is Feb 6. I don't know if people are going together since the weight classes are all at different times. Im sure some people will car pool...
actually dan, you may just be in the same time''frame''now that your bluebelts!as you go up in rank the tournaments actually go smoother than the white category which can be madness!in the first pan ams that allowed whites to compete it literally took all day,one day of all whites!!!but at least at international level tournaments you'd know that day how many fights you'll have to do win and pretty close to the time your rolling.naga is the opposite as pre-reg is not a must.for the guys going to the pans if your not at weight WITH your gi on before you leave gbnh i'd recommend getting there a day early and bring the gi you fight in to dry run your weight using their scales.if you blow your weight when they call your weight class your dq'ed right there no questions asked!
