Awesome! Great job guys.
atta boy!
The guys competed so well! I'm extremely proud of them all! Unfortunately me and Joey and Dave were forced to enjoy it from the sidelines due to injuries. Mine occurred last week, hurt my lower back training, looking at a few weeks off from jiu jitsu before I'll be able to roll again. So disappointing to have to watch and not participate, but it was still nice to see our team dominate so much! Hopefully next tournament in July we will have our full competition team injury free and kicking ass! 6 10th planeteers are always better than 3! :)
I'll be adding a SHITLOAD of pictures and videos from the tournament today on the 10th Planet Miami Hotbox website (www.10thplanetmiami.com) so check in the next few days for a play by play of the tournament. And trust me, the matches were GREAT! We came from behind to win multiple times! You'll enjoy the videos when they're uploaded!
Medals are fun, but the experience is even more fun. I loved every second on the mat. It was neat how all the yelling and screaming became white noise and the sounds that filtered through to my mind were my corner's voices and breathing. I love how competition can become a teaching tool to show you where specific parts of your game need work.
Congrats guys, looking forward to the videos.
Awesome job guys
Great job guys!!! Way to rep!
Quick question, are wrist locks allowed in novice adult divisions under IBJJF rules?
Congrats all. Damn Tyler!

Congratulations u all =D. The videos??
These videos are all now available at the website too: www.10thplanetmiami.com/index.php?action=videos
Re watching these videos makes em want to train harder and compete more. What have I gotten myself into?! I just pray to the Gods of Jiu Jitsu to allow my team and I a low to 0 injury rate but super intense training camp =D.
As Matt said all of our videos are now up at http://www.10thplanetmiami.com/index.php?action=videos please check them out and let us know what yall think. Thanks for all the support.
Freakin Awesome lol honored to represent 10th planet and continue representing down here and laughed at how in my 2nd nogi match right at the end when brandon smacks the mat yelling I immediately gain energy pull a sweep thx brandon and everyone in the hotbox
Seriously, our corner gave me so many pointers and helped me adjust mid game. Also there's something that really does give you more drive and energy mid fight to pull off the moves you need when you have your corner rallying for you using clear and concise tactical data. I couldn't have done it without my team. Ty Miami Hotbox. Ty 10th Planet Community for your support. Ty Eddie Bravo for helping create and facilitate the further development of our beautiful NoGi JJ system. I promise to train and compete until my body simply says "no more." Hopefully that days comes in 60 years or more =D.Quote:

Yeah, I was told that wrist locks were illegal at the beginning of the tournament over the mic. I've never trained how to apply or defend them, and my opponent slaps one on me to get pain compliance. I say "ow" or "ahhh" and ask the ref if wrist locks are legal, and he stops the fight. My opponent apologized to me because he didn't know they were illegal, but he got the win anyway. Ref's call was "verbal submission." I've never heard or seen wrist locks in novice adult divisions. Are they legal and if so what's a good place to research training methods to defend em?Quote:

I know sandbagging makes people mad, but I actually wasn't mad since he was so honest about it. Plus I'm just happy to healthy enough to compete with guys my age and the 18-29 year old powerhouses. It's all right Brandon, all this means is I have to get good enough to beat the sandbaggers in my division =D.Quote:
