This event broke everyone down into a light weight absolute division and a heavyweight absolute division. I did the light weight absolute. There was at least one BJJ black belt in that bracket and lots of other good guys. Also, I got to face Reilly’s top student in the semi-finals!
I don’t have my matches but you can see all 3 finishes and most of the matches in the highlight here:

Here is a picture of the shirt and cash I got for first place :) It was an awesome opportunity, I had a blast!
Congrats!
Phenomenal Very technical as always. Mad respect :)
That's so awesome. Congrats on the wins vs good guys. Looks like you had a great time AND got some cash for some of that amazing Texas BBQ =D.
Sweet. Do you prefer cash prize over a medal?
Beast!
I really like this! Congrats. :)
Nice! !
Congrats, looking like a beast!
Wowwwww too cool! Eddie Avelar runs a great gym there at GD.
Thanks to whoever edited that. That last match between Brian and Austin(?) was exciting!
Ending a seminar with a cash prize mini-tourney is the wave of the future.
Reilly Bodycomb, who ran the whole event and designed the rules also filmed this and edited it too. I agree that the editing was well done!Quote:

You're a fucking beast, Barncat!!
You looked great on the mats with those leg lock battles! Nice work Brian!
Congrats Brian!!
Brian, I have your last match recorded in full. I will try to download it on YouTube and send you the link. Sorry I didn't get the other 2...:(
Thanks, yes send me that link please :) At least I will have one of the full matches that way. There were several transitions I wanted to look back over.Quote:
