So I started trainning this week for the All Guard combatives tournament at the end of March. I plan to compete at 185 so I have to cut 20 pounds before the weigh ins in order to compete in the devision that I want. The fights in the tournament are set up for three rounds with the first round being strictly grappling/BJJ stuff, the second round being Pancrase rules (open hand strikes to the head, punches to the body and grappling), the last round being strikes with head gear and 10 ounce gloves.

I've switched up my diet, am now eating 6 times a day, taking in about 2500-3000 calories a day.

I'm basically doing the P90X program in the mornings, running 3 times per week (2-3 miles at a time) and alternating between going BJJ classes and going to the boxing gym at night.

I was hoping I could get some suggestions and tips on trainning for a tournament like this and cutting the weight that I need. Peace!

Yo, Conscience, you still fighting in that tournament?

Yup, but I decided that I am no longer going to try to cut the weight, I am now going to compete at 205 weight class and make my life easier. I'm still trainning like a mad man because I really want to win this thing.

Wish i saw this thread earlier, the P90X is one kick ass program, but for someone like you trying to cut weight i'd of recommended not doing it, the only people that lose much weight from it are a wee bit large in the belly and out of shape before they start. I wouldn't fret though, that Muscle Confusion crap works, if you've stuck to it you should be force to be reckoned with even at 205.
