1st competition No Gi

So spent last 2weeks training on weight loss as i wanted to be in the welterweight class rather than the middleweight section. been a bit sick as well which meant i only made 3 classes in last 2 weeks.

So what have i learned

don’t cut more than 5-6lbs for same day weigh ins. I ridiculously cur from 189lbs down to 168 lbs in 2 weeks

I had 4 hours sleep on the Friday night with 5 hours the night before fitting in a 8 hour run in a sweat suit and 1 hour shadow boxing before a 50 min skipping to make the weight
I have a massive gap in my takedown game and takedown defense, grappling has to be worked upon I lost a huge amount of points from takedowns – i.e. got back taken pulled to matt and moved to side control. Went for takedown caught in guillotine rolled over and side control secured. Taken down missed guillotine and held in side control. 13 of the points scored on meSecure the position and then move to the next! Have a simple game plan, do I want to take his back? Do I want to work submissions from side control? What’s my favorite sweep? Drill drill drillKnee on below while moving from half guard instead from side controli also found it hard to hear my coach i could hear the opponents coach shouting things like put your elbow on his neck or get the hooks in but not the stuff that matters lol
