Took 1st place in Gokor's Hyastan Grappling Challenge! Was pushed up to a heavier...

division as there weren't enough in my bracket. 2 sudden death take down wins, and the final was a gogoplata. Will try to get vid up this week.

Thanks GB! Yeah so true. It reminded me of a smaller version of the Abu Dhabi trials. Footlocks, slams, neck cranks, etc. it was nice!

And finally my man CJ! Thanks man. Haven't seen ya in a bit at the gym. See ya soon!

OMG, what a day, what a great grappling tournament!
I was in Rick's corner. Didn't have to do much coaching. Mostly just making sure everything was caught on video.
The Gogo Plata Rick got was one of the coolest subs in the tournament. Gokor's guys are
beast with the leglocks of course. Like somebody told me the other day that they are not afraid
to train or enter a Gokor tournament they just don't want to get their legs busted up. ha,ha,haha,ha
