two videos from my first tournament

It was a really small, local tournament, so i went ahead and competed in gi also. I placed 2nd in my division. This is me against a judo black belt.

couldn't get them to embed??

Here is me against a female green belt in no-gi. The match after this was against a ten year old kid that no one really wanted to beat and who also very good and working the point system. it was a fun little tournament, so in the open-weight no-gi section the kid won 1st, with me and 2 others (one of which who placed first in our gi-div beating me, he trains no-gi jj)

lets of leg triangles....good job my friend

i didn't undertstand the first part of that, but thanks!

lots of triangles....hey i just got up ..lol

haha fair enough man, thanks again.

some of my 10th planet brothers had me out late watching UFC and then i went to a club and i didnt roll in till aound 7am..lol

So, I assume this was a BJJ competition based on the rules. If that is the case, why is the judo guy wearing a BB when he is clearly not a BJJ BB (no offense)? I can only imagine the heat someone would take for doing that at a major tourney. Unless I am wrong, and this is something like an open grappling tournament with BJJ-like rules?

nice one fuk that judo guy,

i bet he went home crying to his wife and kids hahahhaha

where was this tourney at? i have been looking for more in the missouri/kansas area. great job staying composed with in the time and finishing the match with a sub. ACHIEVEMENT Unlocked. lol, sorry a little nerd humor for you.

rofl at tiki. haha thanks guys. Matt, the tournament was in bonne terre, mo. Aces..it was a weird local tournament. Weird in that it was hosted by the judo club, but a grappling tournament with somewhat judo based rules. Like 1 point for a takedown, 2 points if feet leave the ground on takedown. points for side control and mount, no points for back control (is there usually?)

dude hell yeah, that was awesome, I bet you anything that judo guy thought he was hot shit... that was a good job though man.

cool. post me if anything else comes up tourney wise. there is going to be one in Lebanon soon. in October i think. if your interested i'll fin out more.

thanks nate, the judo guy got pretty fussy. he ended up getting choked in 3 out of 4 matches. he is a super nice guy though, since i hadn't worn a gi since i was 14 he helped me remember how to tie a belt. His judo was strong, but his ground game needs some work. Thanks for the heads up matt, i'm definately interested in that. What part of MO are you in?

Kansas City, Ks. I live almost on the state line though. I'll look up some more details about the tourney and send it to you when i find out.

thanks man, i appreciate that!
