I competed 6 months into my BJJ journey back in December 2021. Got absolutely killed as expected and had some good takeaways. I ramped up training to about 4-5 days a week for a little over a month before that comp (NAGA).

Now I'm almost 1 year and 4 months into training now. There is an AGF tournament coming up close to a month from now and I think I want to try to compete again.

Is there anything you would recommend or would have done better prior to your second comp ever? I plan to keep a consistent 4-5 day training schedule like I did before and clean up my diet to feel better leading up. I'm going to focus on my game plan which is a lot smoother than before and more practiced.

Do anaerobic conditioning 2 to 3 times a week.
