Cora Arriya Sek aka "Triangle Queen" matches from Grappling Games yesterday. FYI: Since Cora was sick, we didn't plan on doing this tournament, but since her uncles were here from Cali and wanted to see her in action, she decided to do it. We wanted to focus on other aspects of her game so for the kids divisions, Cora cannot do any rubber guard, triangles, electric chair, or even lockdowns. Enjoy.
1st No Gi match 90-99 lbs div. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8AHC6TBbuo
Finals No Gi match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziH5ZMaGEyY
I was taking care of my sick son and wasn't paying attention to the match when I heard the boy's coach says he was up 6-0 with 30 seconds left. So I told Cora she has to submit to win.... and this is what she did. BARATOPLATA!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLUOcCO_lCs
This boy was determined to meet Cora in the Finals. He had tapped out one of Cora's teammate who is also an orange belt. Now he got his match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwnXz0xUHE8
Didn't find anyone to push Cora in the kids division. We decided to enter her in the women's division for the 1st time. This is the 1st match of the women white belt division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svG0oOWO55c
2nd match in the women's division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg9guLHpZBo
Finals of the women white belt division (110-125 lbs), Cora is only 93 lbs. So I told her opponent, in order to win, she has to tap Cora out. Trying to work Cora's defense a little...:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wwJcptKesI
Another fantastic day for Cora, beautiful ninja roll to the back in that finals nogi match. That girl was too big in that gi finals match tho, she was good too. Can't wait to see Cora vs Alyssa at EBI 4 :)
Master Eddie, that was a 28 yr old woman..LOL we can't wait also. Still have a lot to work onQuote:

Thank you for the love brother. She has been working hard to evolve her game. The next 3-4 months you will see dramatic change.Quote:

As you can see by her performance from those videos, she show a little of everything. This will leave her opponents guessing what she will do next.Quote:

I wish I could but I live in Hungary... bit of a distance from Dallas :)
Cora completely outclassed that first lady. 'Lady' meaning Women's division. Having an actual plan from rubber guard wasted that woman. She had a really nice capoeira pass to mount earlier against one of the boys. It's something we worked on this week, where you capoiera, but making sure to elevate your hips while keeping his shoulders pinned so you can drive your knee to the mat and start dominator or no-hand passing. She was on point.
Thanks brother. She's been training hard. We kicking it to the next gear now so that she can be ready for the 2nd half of the year. She has some huge events coming up, June 20th is Fight 2 Win Europa where she will be in 6 div. Trying to be the 1st kid to win 6 Championships in one tournament. Aug 15th is EBI 4 of course. And Sept is BFA (Battle 4 the Ages) where she will be defending her belt. Got to evolve her game so she won't be too predictable...:)Quote:
