Checklist in Competition

[islandman]

Things to remember while performing!

• Be assertive(loud ki-ahp)

• Have a low and good stance

• Don't go through the motion of any technique

• Have passion (it will impress the judges)

• Always have a strong attack(unless the form calls for a slow attack or technique

Also, don't trip over your feet before you get to the judges to announce yourself. It just looks stupid and everyone laughs.

i usually hide mine with a good long pause (no one else try this it makes your score lower).

In all seriousness if you make a mistake, just continue on. One of my old training buddies once started with one Kata, got completely mixed up and finished with another Kata..... and none of the judges noticed!!!

[Zorbasan]

i always tend to listen to "eye of the tiger" and "Your the best" from the karate kid soundtrack before going in to competition (any kind, not just MA)

it may sound funny, but what i mean hear is get inspired before competiting, dont just compete for the hell of it.

What about the rocky theme?!?

Come on.... that's gotta help!!!

Just don't listen to mission impossible, I don't think the judges would appreciate you absailing from the roof then darting around the matt on all fours with a ray gun.
