The Right Strategy To Win an Open Weight Title as a Lighter Weight Athlete

The Right Strategy To Win an Open Weight Title as a Lighter Weight Athlete

Are you aiming to achieve “double gold” in the Jiu-Jitsu championships, meaning winning your weight class and the open weight?

Here are three valuable tips to consider:

1. Prioritize focusing on one task at a time.

Complete the necessary work before indulging in leisure activities. Your main responsibility is to emerge victorious in your designated weight category, while approaching the absolute category with a sense of enjoyment.

2. It is important to note that the suggestion to approach the absolute category with a sense of “fun” does not imply treating it lightly.

On the contrary, it is crucial to be physically and mentally well-prepared, equipped with effective combat strategies to confront opponents who are considerably heavier. When referring to “fun,” it refers to the perspective you adopt towards the task at hand. Avoid exaggerating the significance of the absolute category to the point where it generates excessive pressure and nervousness, which can negatively impact your overall performance, including in your designated weight category.

3. If you plan to face larger opponents, it is essential to train against individuals of similar size.

This will help you build confidence for the actual competition in the absolute championships. Approach your training with seriousness and repetition, while always maintaining a sense of joy. This is the key to progressing when faced with challenges. Oss!
