How should I warm up for my kung fu tournament?

Im not sure what to do to get myself to the point where my form is the strongest.

I always do a short run (usualy 15 minutes) and stretch for about 45 minutes , I dont know if anyone has tried this but it increases the hell out of your agility. Now after I do that is where Im kinda not sure what to do. I think I should do a little strength training to get my muscles reved up and go through my forms a couple times. Im not sparring as I have an injury that I dont want to make worse. But my issue is I dont know if I should strength train or not as I am worried that I’ll end up wairing myself out before the tournament. Also how much time is it ok to let pass between your warm-up and the time you actualy get there? I kinda want some outside perspective as I have alot riding on this tournament.
thanks for the tips. I will give that a shot. However I still think I should go through my forms a couple times to get my muscle memory going.
Im aware of the aspect of training my mind but I dont need help warming my mind up thats easy.
I was going to compete in the form parts of the tournament and not the sparring
To David N:

I have my own ways of warming up I just wanted 2 see what other people thought were good ways to warm up. Dont be an ass

What does Tai Chi (Supreme Ultimate) mean?

Yes it translates to supream ultimate. But I’ve been thinking what does that really mean.I think my ego missed the point for the last 10 years of training????
I was wondering really what Tai Chi’s meaning was to other people. It was not a trick question. I’ve known most of the text book answers at an intellectual level. But it really came home to me only recently that I had been looking at it from a very egotistical view point, I had got too much into the supremeness and lost the emptyness. I just wondered what different peoples own opinions were on this question. For instance is Tai Chi the same as God.By the way this is genuine exploration. And also to everyone I am actually a female, and just joined yahoo questions last night. Thank you for all your answers. I think this site is awesome. x

i need to lose 50 pounds in 6 months. I hate exercise (gyms) and diet food. Is there hope for me?

I’ve tried many different approaches, and I’m at the point where Im sooo confused and frustrated! If anyone has achieved a successful weight loss, in a reasonable time, PLEASE let me know. I love to walk, and would be into trying yoga, and free weights… but I hate going to sweaty gyms.

As far as food – I love sushi, peanut butter, fruit, veggies, pasta, seafood, rice, and chicken.

Oh, yes, some dark chocolate is good too.

I don’t drink (alcohol) and stay away from soda and diet drinks.

I know water is a good thing, but have trouble drinking 100 ounces a day, but will do it if it is neccesary for weight loss.

Thanks for your help!

is it to late to start taekwondo?

I really regret the choices i made in life. i started taekwondo when i was probably 10 and when up the yellow band 3 or something…i always used to get the highest point during gradings (like 95). But when i moved houses, i stopped. Im 17 now, 18 in march, and im wondering if its too late to start again? I want to go all the way to black belt. It gonna cost around $1300 a year as well. Im still deciding if i should…I need your opinions. Thanks
so how long will it take to get to black belt?
