1st tournament in da gi

Sergio.. good job in going out there and competing. In my opinion, you gotta experience loss, in order to appreciate the wins. So losing is just a way to keep chiseling away at your own imperfections in jiu jitsu, so that you create a masterpiece sometime down the road.

I would advise getting someone to video you, because you can always learn from watching your own fights, and from having others critique it. Trying to remember what happened after the match is over, is alway very tough. But having a library of videos to reference from, allows you to see your own progression, as well as reinforces that which you need to work on.

Thank you for your advice, I am going to start recording next month when the next tournament. The entire experience has been very helpful as far as motivation in my jj training. I also am going to start looking at the 10p techniques in preperation for the no gi tourney coming up. Again thanks for the input

I was reffering to the "try biting next time it really works."

There is no losing in Jiu-Jitsu. You either win or you learn.

I was just about to say that

No, I was!
