I realise not everyone is into competition, but for those of you who enjoy competing how many times a year do you try to make it out to a tournament?

How often do you get the urge to put it out there and challenge yourself?

I know what you mean! Now that I'm a little "older", the time between tournaments needs to be a little longer.:(

I don't compete that much, but once or twice a year I try to make a tourny.

I only just started competing last september - hell, I only started the martial arts barely over a year and a half ago! It seems incredible to me. This year, though, I am going all out. I think I'll be going to 9 or 10 tournaments this year. I've already done 3.

I hit three or four a year, one is the tournament that our school holds annually. My instructor and those who regularly compete will hit 8 or 9. To be honest, I mostly do it to support my instructor and the local circuit, competition doesn't give me much of a thrill anymore.

I used to go to at least 5-10 a year, when I was competing.

Only get the oppurtunity to go to a couple a year, just because of distance to get to them, usually two to three hours driving.
