ok ok here's a hint...there's alot of rubber guarding going on....there's a lot of wresting slams going on....

ONe more thing about this tournament... kids can't do any Platas.... no omoplata, no gogoplata, no carni (but as you can hear me, I forgot about the rule and screamed for Cora to do the Carni) LOL At first I was thinking, someone had pulled some strings and just eliminated a few of Cora's submissions as she loves to go to all those forbidden moves. But true to the system, she has more where that came from.

Cora , AWESOME job. I am impressed , I hope one day that my daughter will be like you. You have my vote for sure... Keep up the good work.

Voted :cool:

Thank you guys for voting. You see if she get the honor of being the Kid Grappler of the Year, it will look great on her resume as we are trying to attract some sponsors. You guys know that she love this sport and want to train hard and want to compete as much as possible but those tournaments cost money and we can't afford to put her in everyone of them. So if we build up her resume more, sponsors might be come looking for her. With the help of the sponsors she can compete more often and get better that much faster. For those haven't voted yet, please do so. Thank you so much..Bruce

Voted... you're little girls rubber guard love is grand! best of luck to her :)

Thank you for voting. You know during her matches, she draws a crowd to watch her rubber guard, even the ref says "nice rubber guard" to cora as she set it up. On one of the vid, she hasn't got the zombie yet and I shout to remind her, then I hear the score keeper said, chill dog. So people know of the rubber guard, but Cora is shoving it in their face, opening people eyes.

make sure to have her work her half guard and lockdown.. some wrestling classes would really help since shes so comfy off her back!

We been working on her takedowns and takedown defense. And yes the lockdown is almost there, its good enough now to get her out of some situations. Also been working on the x guard as well.

Wow she is good...

Thanks Wade, and please tell your friends at the gym to watch her videos and if they like it, ask them if they can go and vote also, it will help her so much. Thank you again. Bruce

Man she is truly an inspiration! Just watching her in action makes me wanna work on my rubber guard that much more. Work on getting her to clear the neck with "authority" like Eddie says. She just kinda moves her arm around their head. She needs to bring it around wide and push their face away with her forearm, that will bring the Kung Fu Move easier. I envy her ability to double bag anytime she wants! Also try working on her transitions to spiderweb. She can toss em to spiderweb all day if she wants to you can see it! She has amazing talent and she is going places! Also I voted for her:cool: Ill be in sugarland towards the end of feb if yall are in town Id love to meet her and tell her how awesome she is in person!

Trez: thanks bro, yes we will be working on that some more, as more and more people know of her skills, we too need to get even better at it. You know we are just scratching the surface of what she can do with this and little by little, we will get there. We have a few more weeks before Pan, you will see the improvement by then.:) It will be great to meet you, and the end of Feb will work for sure. Just hit me up when you are in town and thank you for your vote. Please pass her story on as we need as many votes as possible. Thank you Bruce

Here is another effort in trying to get you to vote for Cora....:):) On sat, she was at the bottom in 10th place, now she is sitting in 3rd. Hopefully this will help her get to 2nd by the end of the day. Thanks guys.
