Making good progress in the past months training 5 times a week consistently, no serious injuries (knock on wood) doing pretty good in competition etc... Just found out that my main training partner signed up to a competition i'm doing this weekend. I'm glad he's doing it and it's just going to push me that much more. But at the same time we are in the same bracket both doing no gi we are going to face off for sure. On one side I'm thinking it's no big deal we go hard in the gym everyday but on the other hand, competition is a whole other level of aggressiveness. He doesn't like to loose at all and I don't either so it's going to be interesting to say the least. He's a real cool cat, we roll hard but keep it respectful and always make sure not to injure each other (as with all other training partners) but this last week I can feel it, something in the air I guess. The intensity creeping up, no joking around. I notice sometimes he sits out of a round and will watch me like a hawk Hahaha. Like I said no big deal just started this thread I guess to get feedback on the before/during/after competing against training partners and how that went for you guys.
