This match was by far the one I enjoyed the most yesterday. Nogi is definitely my favorite way to grapple.
I gave up an early takedown and was down 2-0.
When I looked back on the scoreboard i knew I had to get a sweep and pass to get some points back, and that I could not let him pass to put me down even further.
Our team has been drilling a lot of guard work recently and putting in hours on retention. So I kept my guard alive, and proceeded to throw the kitchen sink at my opponent in sweeps, and he was doing a really great job to adjust and not allow me to get the top position. I knew I needed to switch it up a little bit and attempt some submissions as well, which was when I went inverted to lead him into closing the distance with his upper body. This was what eventually set up the triangle and armbar, and allowed me to secure the finish.
Finish was by Armlock.
Thanks to my team, coaches, and teammates!
