Competing/Belts?

[Lauren Stalcup]

thanks everyone!!!! if you wanna watch my tournament videos, their always uploaded by the time I leave the tournament hall on youtube.com/sandygirlninjacms
as far as belts, I dont care anymore haha I'm too buisy with grades to care. I roll off the stress from school, and imagine the face of the meanies at school on the punching bags. As for tournaments...I am "taking a break" until november, because I cant run off to a tournament, because there is none!!! haha. but if you watch the vids in sept and are wondering whats going on, I lost round 1 to points (BOOOO) and round two to ref stoppage. theres a armbar rule now BEWARE!!!!! IF THE ARM EXTENDS THEY CALL THE MATCH which is what happened to me. It was extended for a split second while I was rolling out. LAME!!!!
I'll try and bring the win next time...
I'm in a pink or black rashgaurd usually, if its black it says "Victory MMA" and if its pink it says "Koral' and I have a white GI from when Victory was still Throwdown.

I have not formally trained in 10thplanetjj but i'm extremely interested in it, i think it is the most effective style of grappling. I have all of your books and dvds. I have trained in traditional bjj and received my blue belt. I totally agree with the testing system for people that dont have a school near by like me except for one thing. The only thing i have a problem with is i never got into bjj for the competition side of it. I did it as a hobby, fun and for fitness. So the 10 wins in competition wont work for me. Is that the only way to get ranked? Cause i have no desire to do competition bjj. Does that make it impossible for me to ever get ranked through the video testing? Or do i have to wait til a 10thplanetjj school opens up near by?

same here ..its fun to compete and i did really well in my first naga with a silver and bronze but its more about haveing fun and fitness to me..
