I have a BJJ tournament approaching this weekend (in 6 days time), and I'm a little torn as to how to approach winding down my training before the tournament day. I want to be as fresh as possible physically, but also want to take into consideration of keeping my flow and technique at its peak. I thought I'd get some input from the fellow grapplers here on how they approach their training regimen right before a tournament (ie training right up until the event, resting X amount of days before the event... etc).
I know it will probably be of very little consequence no matter how I approach it, but I'm in a rather unique position which I haven't been in before. My cardio has never felt better, technique feels at an all time high, and I'm free of any considerable injuries/sickness etc. Every tournament I've competed at in the past, it's always been something little that's prevented me from being 100% (having a cold, injured etc etc); I know it's common to not be 100% when competing, but this time I feel on top of everything (as much as I can be, anyways). I'm probably going to roll tonight at full speed, then just drill technique the next few nights and completely rest 2 days before hand; but I'd like to hear how you guys approach training right up until the day of an event.
