Don’t eat less than two hours before training. You’ll be fine for the first 10 or so rounds of rolling but when it really hits you, you’ll be clutching your stomach and trying to stay as still as possible to avoid chundering everywhere.

Really kultist? Here’s a quick hint, if the information you’re conveying is general enough to apply to any form of heavy exercise, it’s very doubtful if it belongs in the advanced area.

So…true story.
Sometime around the late 90s, I found myself an hour before judo class and quite hungry.
After classes I stopped in my apartment building and lo and behold, someone (probably my girlfriend) had purchased a large chocolate creme pie from the local Big Y.
I ate about half of it, and arrived on the judo mat not an hour later.
Worst idea ever.
Ever.

I once had a Chipotle burrito about 1 hour before a fighters conditioning class.
Yea, that was stupid.
Last time I went out to visit SifuJason’s place I ate McDonalds for the first time in about a year probably 30 minutes before I showed up. Very. Very. Very. Poor decision on my part.
If you’ve trained for any length of time you have probably done this. I know I have.
Mine was free pizza at some kind of outdoor rally. And I’m a sucker for free food.
P.S. The only time I’ve ever had to use the mop at my old karate place was when my friend Sam decided eating a huge ice cream sundae before training would be no big deal.
I used to put my pants on one leg at a time like everyone else, then I had an epiphany after many minutes of staring at my Gymkata movie poster*: If I could leap into the air and kick two directions at once, I could put my pants on in one swift motion. One day I hope to use this technique when I wake up from a bed full of beautiful women, then jump up and put my pants on as I kick two ninjas trying to sneak up on me. I recommend avoiding eating for an hour before practicing and keeping an eye open for ceiling fans.

I’ve tried the old “jump in the pants” routine many times. I have failed many times. In fact I’ve been successful no times.
Mine was a Quizno’s turkey and avacado and a bag of Cheddar Cheese Sunchips. I worked through lunch and was too busy to eat and was just starved, so an hour before training I ate and barely avoided puking
Sushi.
From a grocery store.
a Five Guys Bacon Cheese Burger with Mushrooms and mayo. I finished it just as I pulled up to the dojang. That was a fun class.
Oh what timing…
I ate a slice of pizza yesterday at 3pm and went to training at 7. Thought I was fine and suddenly my stomach twisted and I was in the VFW bathroom forcing myself to chuck.
Don’t know if I’m sick with a virus (99.5F fever) or just ate the wrong thing (greasy, spicy pizza on an empty stomach)…but my tummy is teh hurt.
Maybe a nice punch in the gut is what I need…let me ask the wife.

I can jump over the GWB and accommodate that request if you’d like?
My first year in martial arts, I did tae kwon do, and for the belt testings, we’d all have to troop down to the main dojang downtown.
Testings would always run overtime and someone would hold out as long as possible before breaking and running down the street for a burger.
All would be well, until the individual threw his or her first high kick (which, being TKD, was inevitable), invariably letting off an exceptionally loud fart, clearly audible to the hundred or so people in the dojang.

Try rolling after sausage, peppers and onions sub for lunch. Never did that again.
Turns out I’ve caught a norovirus (gastroenteritis) from my son’s Chucky Cheese party. Fever at 101F and holding…
Fuck Chucky Cheese.
Hey, at least Chucky serves beer. There’s worse ways to contract “ebowela”.
I was having bake at home pizza for dinner. I was running late for training so I took it out early and ate it half raw. Bad idea as above.
opposite story, not eating enough
I was nervous the day of a grading and got up late, had one mouthful of porridge and drove to the gymn. The grading started late and went over time. There was no definite lunch break as candates were cycled in and out for different parts. After the grading straight into a two instuctor seminar.
In the final line up I fainted and twisted my ankle before doing a semi-conscious back breakfall. Looking back at the video I didn’t perform well in any of it.
