What up!! My dad finally got around to putting together a vid of my last couple tourneys. I swear I have the wierdest matches...a 50 year old, 150 lb. grandmother and a grown man in my division?? To boot these were all adult blue belts and higher. Was fortunate to bring home gold in all 3 tourneys :)
Enjoy...

I liked the sit through on mount for the triangle, it's one of my favourites to pull off.
Also, laughed my ass off at the title of the thread as I too hold a win over (sick double leg) a 50 year old man.
Props on the wins!
They were clearly not at your level, nice job! :)
Hey, I resemble some of these remarks! All kidding aside, well done Gabby!
Great job Gabby! Again... :)
Nice work!
That was great!
Bad Ass Gabby!
You BA whipper snapper
Killed people with the Rubber Guard!
Gabby, is your Next Gen MMA a branch under Chris Brennan's like mine is, or a different one?
Sick video! Sick invisible collar! Wish I could've seen where you went with it tho! You're on your way to super stardom Gabby! :)
Damn girl, your mount is death!!!
Eddie...Ill take the blame for that one...I had like 2-3 hours of video to try and splice up into a 4:35 second song...lol. The very last clip of the hip toss was against Judy Riley...shes one of the top females on the east coast (no-gi only too) and one who we have never seen lose. Gab was beating her when she was 13 in womens advanced at NAGA 6-0 and got caught in a bicept crush and tapped with 20 secs left. She fought her again a few months ago and was up 6-2 and got caught in a guilotine with 20 secs left...she turned blue (we were ready to go out to the mat and wake her up) but somehow fought to side control and von flue choked her way out of it for the 9-2 win...she grew up alot that day.
The NextGen we go to is out of Team Balance and a Rick McCauley school. Rob Mudrak and Rick are the head instructors. Lookin to get back to Kevins school (10th Planet Bear DE) soon when my sons football is over (literally 6-8 every day for 2 hours...sigh).
Awesome! When is your next comp?
Its lookin like shes gonna do Grapplers Quest in MD in 2 weeks and the Submission Only event in DE in early Nov. (you can only win by submission...thats it...even if the match goes 3 hours...which it has!!!)
I'm grooming my 6 and 9 year old daughters to be Jiu Jitsu stars. Well, we'll see where that goes. Just wondering if Gabby has ever gotten any serious injuries from training?
Nothing real bad...shes super flexible and young so I think that has helped her alot. Some sore elbows and her ankles are a little weak from getting caught in toe holds and such in training (current school is huge on the leg locks). The only one she really had to take time off from was when she fought Mellisa Bopp (she was only 12 and it was her first womens div.) who is a Tiger Schullman BJJ black belt. She got heel hooked real bad before she ever knew what a heel hook was and didnt tap right away...she was out for a month after that. Other than that shes been pretty lucky...wish I could sat the same for myself...as Im a walking surgeons dream :)
Damn, she got heel hooked when she was only 12... She's seems so much ahead of the curve. My daughters seems to show some promise. The older one (9 yrs old and really shy) has some decent skills already. The younger one (6 yrs and much more outgoing) seems to have more potential, but she seems really lazy and not as into it.
Thats one scary minor!
Now Gabby if you cant play nice.....then just keep choking till they tap.....just kidding doing a great job nice armbars and omoplata in the first few fights, cant wait to see more....way to rep....
I tried gab in other sports...basketball and softball. She played varsity softball as a freshman last year...shes an athletic kid. She was very good at both...but had aggression issues...lol. Pretty much fouled out every game and I knew it was time for her to try something else when we needed to get a police escort off the court after a basketball game. She has a habbit of not backing down to anyone :) MMA seems to fit her personality perfectly. I have 3 other kids...but only my son (age 9) has interest in bjj...he has been training with me and Gab since the beginning. The other 2 are girly girls who like dance and drama :)
damn im in love
Damn! Nice skills Gab! You were torturing that poor girl in the mounted triangle. Try walking your hands clockwise from your mounted triangle, or keeping the underhook on the leg from bottom (dominant angle). Just a pointer to help not torture your opponents ;) Great job and movement!
thank you everyone for the positive feedback! & thanks dad for answering the questions, yes, i remember that basketball game too. hahaha! good times. but this video is superrrr hotttt dad, thank you (: & thanks to everyone whos keeping up with my current activity with jiu-jitsu & taking their time to watch my videos, it really does mean alot to me!
Hey Gabby were those first few vids at Team Balance in Pittsburgh, Pa??
Kick Ass BTW ;)
My daughters play soccer and I try to show them examples of women kicking ass in sports to motivate them and show them what they are capable of.
They watched your video at least 4 times straight. They were all fired up by it and asking me what your name was and if you were a professional. To see a girl (that is not a brute), kick ass like that was wonderful for them to see. You can be a lady in the street and a monster on the field (or on the mat).
Thank you for sharing.
very, very, very cool!
no neale they were actually at hassetts in swedesboro!
this honestly made my day, keep your little women strong! us girl can do anything we put our minds to! tell them i said hello also (: they sound like very sweet girls!
Patient, good timing, technically sharp.... all around good job !
lmao a 50 year old man
congrats gabby, great video
Awesome!
That is awsome! Keep it up, you just inspired a grown ass man.
incredibly impressive! keep reppin 10th
As soon as the clip starts.. one girl looks like an ADD addled kid doing a capoeira Ginga, and the other girl is practically starting in an upright stance. You just know it's going to get ugly after that.
Great job, very impressive...good luck at GQ in Maryland! Not that you need luck!
Wow Gabby - I hope I can be as proud of my daughter as I'm sure your dad is of you.
Wow! She looks mean!
sick! sick ! sick! sick! Been off the mats for about 5 months now due to an injury and now mostly my crazy work schedule....this vid reminds me how much I miss jitz! Nice work!
