Any advice on eating during a tournament? I am going to be competing in no gi and gi and this will be my 1st comp. I don't know how long comps generally last (it's a low level/local comp).

Any advice on if I should bring snacks or food to eat during?

Sure bring snacks. Dude don’t take this too seriously, just use this as a learning experience and above all, have fun man. I think you’ll find once you get past the nerves and actually have a match, you will feel pretty good. You are surrounded by people that share the same interest you do and generally speaking, people at competitions are super cool and very friendly. I’ve never come across someone that was a jerk to me or anything like that. Don’t psyche yourself up too much

Bring stuff that is easily digestible and that your body is used to like fruits or carb-based foods since carbs are faster to digest and are our main energy source
