Might be better in the beginners, But hey ho.
I'm a 38yr old soft cyclist and 5th Kyu at Judo (U73)
I was in my 4th Competition today (4 Masters fights (U73 to 103kg) followed by 4 Seniors all u73)
I noticed today I was struggling with warm up. In cycling I have a clear plan that works get the muscles going read the course and go.
In judo other than getting the muscles fired up and all loose and I don't know how to calm the nerves and get into the frame of mind needed.
Today it took 3 fights (all lost) before I felt on top of myself to deal with the opposition.
I went on to lose the rest but that's okay I have some clear issues to work on with my coach.
What I noticed is that more I fought the better I got. So by fight 7 and 8 I was much more relaxed and better able to defend and get some attacks in.
How what techniques so you guys employ during Warm up.
