Answer 1

Okay I'm a martial artist and a boxer and needless to say I workout alot. First off if you can do that many situps you are in good shape but if you want good abs arms legs stamina etc. try my routine.

Abs- Do 25 to whatever, leg out crunches, bent leg crunches, leg up crunches, one leg over the other (switch legs) crunches than the same thing with twists touching your elbow to your knee. And than theres this sit up boxers do you have one leg out, one in, then sit up and touch your elbow to your knee.  

Arms- Curls lots of them. Theres multiple kinds but me I do normal ones while standing on one leg to make it harder. Then hammer  curls to work on biceps.

Legs and saminas- Get some affordable leg weights and jog with those on. Works on your leg muscles, your speed, and your stamina.

Chest/ upper body- Push ups. Close arms, wide arms, diamond, and when you push up jump using your arms.

Hey I'm 14 I've been doing this regiment for a while it works.

Just take whatever you have to do in the tournament and do it twice as hard. Like a month before a competition my school really kicks up the training. (This is my Chung Do Kwan school) If the fight consists of two 1-minute rounds with a 30 sec break, we do two 2-minute round with a 30 sec break. We practice our forms and our techniques to perfection and we go win the competition.

Answer 3

If you are serious: Lift weights. Eat a lot of protein/calories. Once you are strong enough (Squating around 300lbs butt to the floor and doing good with other things). Afterwards continue to lift weights but also do punching bag training and such. I suggest you go to class around 3x week max if you weight train.

This is a decent routine to follow.

Answer 4

No one feels really confident going into their first tournament, that is completely normal and doesn't necessarily mean you aren't ready for it.  Practice your moves in and out of the gym, and ask your instructor to let you know when he/she thinks you are ready for competition.  Depending on the tournament, there are usually many different divisions for skill levels.  After your first one you will better know how to prepare, what to expect, where you sit as far as skill level, and your nerves will be a lot calmer!  My advice would be to go ahead and enter a tournament (assuming your instructor feels this is a good idea) and get that first one out of the way.Good luck!
