The Roach. Round 2. This is the fabled Sorcerer. The Roach was the 1st person to land it in comp. Now he's also the 2nd. Great angle. Somethings wrong with the audio, though. We should have another video of this somewhere.

The Roach in the Final. He's giving up top position without much of a fight. His guard is great, but we gotta learn to smash, pass, and dominate from the top.
The other kid lands a really slick shoulder lock from top half guard. Very nice.

Here's Sam Davis going for 3rd place in the Blue Belt Absolute. Sam is a warrior. He weighs in under 130lbs and he does the Absolute EVERY TIME. I couldn't be prouder of him.
Awesome Marcelo Garcia style guillotine finish against a much larger 4 stripe Blue.

Ok, this is arguably one of the most unorthodox submissions you will ever see in competition. This is Chad Allen. We call this move The Ginger Snap. This dude will (against my advice) pull side control or let his opponent pass to hunt for this thing. I've been caught in it a couple of times. It's horrible.
Chad Allen, Round 1.

Sam is a beast. His matches are always awesome to watch. :)Quote:

This is Matt Skaff in the 155-175 Final. His 3rd consecutive guillotine choke. All in under 1 minute.

Damn that sorcerer was quick and to the point!
Sam Davis in the match he lost in the Absolute. The guy takes him down and literally hugs him inside the full guard for 4 minutes. This dude won the absolute without attempting a guard pass or submission in any of his other matches. You make the call.

Cody Koch in Round 1 of the White Belt Under 155. He wins this one on points.

Skaff's 2nd match in the Absolute. He takes on a 330lb Iron Giant. He got him to a decision. That's a victory in and of itself.

And this is Chad Allen vs The Iron Giant in the Absolute. Round 1.
130lbs vs 330lbs. YIKES.

And here's the 2nd Ginger Snap by Chad Allen. This one in round 2. He literally forces the guy into top side control, pushing him out of his half guard in order to set it up. Maddening, but it's working out on occasion.
The video cuts out as he finishes, but trust me, it was gruesome.

For the record, I told Cody at the beginning of the match NOT to hang out in side control. That if he got to side to go straight to knee on belly and work on mount. I didn't know what the hell the ginger snap was but I knew he didn't want any part of it.Quote:

Great day for 10th Planet all around. Everyone put on a great show it seems like.Quote:

Hey y'all! I'm Carmen. This is my first match. Been training for three weeks. Really thrilled that I did so well. My coach totally pulled me through.
Man that's amazing, that ginger snap.
Chad will you film a break down of the setup and post it dude? I always wrap arms up like that with my leg in side control, but I don't have any finishes.
All your students are impressive Brandon!
Just got word that we took 3rd place in the team title. Not too bad considering we only took 8 people :)
Thanks, Fabiana. You did a great job in your matches, too! Congrats on your first of many gold medals :)Quote:

He was probably my favorite one to watch in the tournament. Everything seemed so textbook and calm. Even in bad spots I was thinking "He doesnt look like hes in any danger at all". Cant wait to see where he ends up in the jiujitsu community.Quote:

This is Zeke Kelley. He has been with us less than a month and this is his first competition. Really fast Guillotine choke and quality entertainment from his family filming the match :)
