First match
Points game baffles me. Good work Brent :)
It is what it is :) I'm not sure what the end scores on these matches are. I just know I had lost.
Thanks Martin
It was awesome to see everybody this weekend. That was a room full of 10th planet killers. James Gamet impressed the hell out of me. Brand new purple belt and killed it to take that belt.
It's like a mini family reunion at every tournament.
Win lose or draw I like to post my matches. No matter what it's a learning experience for me. These two losses taught me ALOT and you'll see me tearing through folks April 12 at the first Sub League qualifier of the year, because of these losses.
Respect. :D Thanks, I learned a few things watching this.Quote:

You're my fukn hero Brent. Everything pure and beautiful about jj. Like Jesus riding a unicorn on a meadow covered in morning dew at sunrise.
Trust me, I know what its like when people tell you to do this and that after a match. And all you can say is "You didn't feel that shit." They both played survive and control.
My humble advice would be to work on explosively using the kimura to sweep or take the back. You can free your legs with tech and commitment. Roll outta kimura top and always control posture kimura bottom. You knotted 'em up 10 different ways and they were pure pressure defense.
Nobody threatened you. More mean and more aggression. Luv ya homie. Well done. You're good man.
Joshua- another golden nugget I heard was "posture out of that rubber guard!". Kinda funny to hear and may have been the reason I stuck with the rubber guard for so long because I knew they didn't understand the position.
Bobby, when I saw you had responded I got excited because I knew you would give me something good haha. Bmac gave me the same advice with the Kimura. I really thought I could get my foot free for the triangle. If I could have it would have been done. Honestly I have no excuse. I thought by cutting to featherweight I would have the strength advantage. Both guys proved me wrong. It is what it is and all it's done is light a fire underneath me to just stomp a hole in every single opponent I come across. For some odd reason I didn't play how I usually do in training. Normally it's sweep, pass, then submit. This time I tried hard to submit off my back. So glad I have video to dissect what happened it though. So now I can fix it.Quote:

Damn bobby u broke shit down love it
You were attacking the whole time in that second match, he never tried shit.
Dude in the first got a legit pass and mount but you were all over him in the first half of the match.
You looked good, just gotta get a little stronger at closing deals.
:-)
Thanks for watching and the input :)Quote:

I believe your first opponent was Noa Moki. He's a black belt under Bruno Ewald who is under Royler Gracie. He is a another big name on Kauai. Has an MMA team and possibly his own gym/school on the south side. Great job against this beast. And yes they fear the rubber guard around these parts but only know to push the knee. Meat hook is gold!
I do believe that was his name. I believe he had his nickname on the weigh in card. "the legend" if memory serves me correctly. I didn't ask his back ground but that's kinda crazy to hear. It was a fun match just wish I could have finished.Quote:
