Being nervous will help keep you on your toes and is normal. As far as feeling comfortable competing in front of a crowd though, I recommend just practicing in front of an audience. Everyone gets to practice their forms in a group setting, but how often do you get to perform solo with people watching you? That alone will help a lot. |

Thanks Cory....Actually I really don't mind an audience.... I kinda enjoy performing, I thrive on it actually. I have been watching clip after clip of my form and hope to make it as dramatic as possible .... and painting the toes red, white and blue will add to the drama possibly
March23rd ...wish me luck!

That's fantastic! I tend to tense up in front of a crowd and rush my form, even after years of competition and performance. Please share with me your secrets |

Not really a secret ..... I grew up performing in front of audiences. I studied ballet at an early age and well on into high school.... the exp. helped me tremendously with entering MA. I'm ok with it as long as I know I'm on track. If I'm not confident with my techniques then I get nervous of course! .... I also took 4 years of college (Communications) which made me very comfortable with being/talking in front of large numbers of people.
I do tend to laugh or smile too much when nervous!

Here, KickChick...these people seem to perform the patterns a little strangely ( a little too slowly, and the breathing really is exaggerated)...but I found your form, Kwang Gae.

It is alright to be nervous. It feels better after you combat that fear and submit it and then you get new confidence in yourself.

Excellent tournament Kata..good choice...I try to perform the movements so that it really looks like I'm actually fighting multiple opponents, like looking in the direction of the next move (attack), don't look at the ground, snap the kicks, blocks, and strikes, tight refolds, holding the sudo's and kicks for just a moment so the judges can admire those crisp, well executed moves you have good luck...

well when your their it's good to go their i bit early and stretch a bit and warm up so that you aren't figting not warmed up
lots of people are nervous so that really wont affect you inless you aren't cause you have trained a lot and be to turniments a bunch of times.

Maybe a little "bitter" training. Training the form at all speeds and differing conditions in preparation. It might turn on a lightbulb of a new way to tweak the form.
