I'm in the blue belt division. I have been training BJJ on and off for about 8 years and feel pretty sound at my level (I trained all through college and other stuff to so I wasn't to consistent ... before the trolls come at me over being a blue belt after 8 years).
I'm not worried about my technique, I'm worried about my fitness. I have two and a half months still to train and I want to up my cardiovascular fitness. It isn't bad because I've been training in Muay Thai for a long time and it really helped my cardio. I do want it to be at a new level though for this competition so I'm looking into some new types of training.
Anyone here have any suggestions to really get that cardio up? I'm looking into forms of HIIT (high intensity interval training) and it seems like it might be the best grind. Right now I do my regular Muay Thai routine every other day (45 min of bag work and about 20 minutes of just movement) and I go to BJJ comp class twice a week (hard rolls).
I want to win this one. This is the first BJJ comp where I feel like I want to "compete" instead of just go for the "experience"
