Kakuto Submission Challenge Matches <VIDEO>

[Brandon Mccaghren]

Here are all the videos I've collected so far from Kakuto Challenge in Atlanta last weekend. As mentioned, 10th Planet won the team title, with Gracie Barra coming in 2nd and Alliance coming in 3rd.

Big thanks to Sean Applegate in Gulf Shores and Griffin Lambert from Dawsonville for bringing their guys out and helping to form the team! We had awesome numbers.

If anyone else has vids from this, feel free to share them. Wins, losses, whatever. We learn just as much from the losses. We had tons of other matches, both wins and losses, but these are the only ones I managed to get on the camera. I'd love to see any others.

Let's start with Sam Davis. He, as become his custom, crushed at his weight in the expert division and then placed in the Expert absolute, taking silver this time. He's our little ninja. Check him out.

This is Sam vs Griffin.10 on 10 crime, unfortunately. Inverted Heel Hook.

Sam with a Rear Naked chin destruction. Kid has sick squeeze for his weight.

One of our newer phenoms, teen Greyson Holmes. Giant, flexible legs. Working towards having a very, very dangerous Rubber Guard.

Greyson again.

This is Griff in the absolute semin final against the same guy that beat Sam in the final. I believe he's an Alliance purple belt. Correct me if I'm wrong, Griff.

One of our more promising new white belts, Bradley Rippey, against Red from Gulf Shores. Red is a nasty, nasty Blue and he lays the smack on Bradley here. Red went on to win the Imtermediate Absolute and at weight. I believe he had 7 matches and 7 triangle chokes.

Here are a couple from Manny Rocha. He had a tougher run this time, but still looked pretty sharp in the teen division, even in his losses. He went one and one with this kid.

Manny with a Dead Orchard. Watch the stone cold demeanor. He already has enough experience at 14 to be able to stay calm in the storm.
