I have already sent in my paperwork and registered to compete in both gi and no-gi. I should be in the novice division and defiantly still qualify as a super heavyweight. I stepped on the scales yesterday and am still sitting at 270 lbs. It is coming up quick, and I don't know how to feel about it. Sometimes I am excited and cannot wait, then sometimes I am convinced this is going to be a waste of money because I am going to get completely steamrolled.
Since it is a grappling tournament I should meet a lot of BJJ guys so I am hoping they all have that laid back chillax attitude I keep hearing about. I don't mind losing it is just easier to accept defeat to a humble winner. I don't know how many fights I will have but for some reason I have the numbers 1 and 12 stuck in my head so I figure I might win by points in one of my matches, and then just lose the next twelve in a row or something.
I have read enough other blogs and articles to know I should just stop bitching and go because win lose or draw it will (hopefully) make me a better martial artist for the experience. I say martial artist because I have to keep reminding myself I go to an MMA gym and don't actually study BJJ. All in all I think I just posted the worst run on rambling in history but missing class and having the tournament so close has made my head a little 'rambly' anyway.
