First few competitions (video)

Here are a few of my first ever competitions. Although I started w Noguiera guard and Gracie system, I quickly fell in lovw 10p.

I can honestly say that I do much better on the mats than in competion. The part of my game needing the most work has been transitions, which I have been working hard with my team and 10th planet marquette hotbox to improve.


Here are three of my competitions.

This match I realized my guard passing game needed a lot of work. Been working several passes since then instead of baiting people to open legs. most of this match was a bit stale after the near marcellotene finish on his end. It took mt of my energy away. sorry if its a bit boring :-)

stan vs you guessed it.... 10p north chicago i think lol
this was my best performance in comp

Welcome to posting on the forum Stan. Good to see you stopped just lurking!! Also Great to see you posting the videos, even if they aren't "wins". This makes me very excited!! Everyone please welcome Stan!!!

Thanks Greg. And ts about time. :-) right? You and I both know they really were wins disguised by loss. I can tell you exactly what improvements I made with each "loss" and how I have since changed my game. Can't wait to post some victories too. And show some more of my skills in the next few.
