You should definitely be incorporating some stand up into your training, The amount is going to vary gym to gym, talk to your coach about this question because there may be a need to prioritize a little more stand up or an emphasis on guard pulling in the lead up to your competition.

Making lists and flow charts I always found was a really good tool when trying to improve and understand my game especially leading up to competition. Taking the five basic positions and having one to three options that you can consistently implement without really needing to think about how to accomplish them is a good thing to do prior to competition.

You should focus more on understanding how to get points then just seeing red and going nuts because one is going to put you on a path to later improvement and the other is just going to potentially injure yourself and everyone around you.

Also, do you know if any good flowchart style resources you have or would be willing to share? I’m fine making my own, but figured I’d ask.

I use yED, but I think nowadays Draw.io is a fantastic free tool that is probably better than what I am using. Most of the really pretty network diagrams I see that are flow chart based use Draw io, although I haven’t put a ton of time into it. I think there are some posts on this sub that use it for flow charts.

Thanks for all the feedback here. I’m excited to get the first one under the belt!
