last two weeks before the tourney

[tmd]

So , you've been working hard for the last 12 or 20 weeks or whatever preparing for the tournament, you know for the last two weeks you must avoid if possible any injuries but what is the best preparation to walk on that Matt 100% ready (we are only talking physically for now).

[DKKC]

I push for fitness. 2 or 3 training sessions a day no longer than 1 hour each (even as short as 30 minutes) but 100% intesity. Get tournament fit (i.e 4x2 minute rounds with 30 sec recovery time in between). No fighting but plenty of bag work and work those favourite techniques and combos!!!!

[ksan]

a few days of absolutely nothing before the tournament, make sure your batteries are fully charged (physically and mentally), I always advise this.... if your fighting on a frequent basis, try and develop a rythm of things you do before a tourney (get your mind of it and so on) Go to the movies, visit a friend or relative... stuff you normally wont have time for ...

You can get it all fixed in one day? I need months! (The first day is just to get over the hangover... )

No better way to get over the hangover but a good workout and a darn good talking and telling off for what you did wrong!!! A mirror helps but it's not compulsory!

I agree with the workout (If walking is possible), but who shaves the day after a tournament?
