Why I like BJJ competitions

I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) a little more than two years ago, approximately one month before my son was born. I guess I skipped training for a few weeks. My coach is a still active competitor having already won gold in several european or world championships in his weight division. He is strongly encouraging us to compete in local tournaments or even the european championships. After six to seven months of training I was convinced to go to my first competition.
