Here is my second match. A lot of stand up grappling...like fighting my doppelganger.
He went for an illegal leg reap, was warned and then went for it directly after and was DQ'd. Crappy way to win, but I won. BTW I do know how to defend and escape. I wish I would have pulled guard in this one and used my sweeps. Also, my shot is super ugly...don't remember if I was just trying to get him to sprawl or just wasn't thinking. Anyway, enjoy!

Click to expand...
White with 1 stripe. I trained BJJ and boxing for about a year in Cali before I moved, about 5years ago at City Boxing in San Diego.
Around the time KJ Noons was preparing to fight Yves Edwards.(5yrs or so ago) I have only trained in a gi for a month or two and that is where I got my rank. And have only been back seriously training for two months. I had arthroscopic knee surgery about a 1 year ago so I am eexcited to be back. This was my first real tournament.

Thanks. Yeah, they did stick pretty close to the IBJJF rules except with the NO GI there were no points in the first half of the match. No heel hooks except for purple and up, I believe. No leg reaping or twisters until blue belt level. They had the gi competitions earlier in the day. I just wore one of my generic rashguards...I am sure I will get one with the proper color when I get my blue belt. My gym is associated with Caio Terra and 10th planet. This was just a regional tournament, not anything too huge. I am hoping to compete in NAGA (in Dallas) and a few others...they are going to the Pan Ams (NO Gi) in September but it is in NYC and I don't know if I can swing that logistically and financially. Would be great experience for sure.

I wish I could of gone. I know a lot of people that were there.
Jeri is a badass.
I see you train with Avery. I know his wrestling coach well, and he's supposed to be amazing.

Jeri is way cool. Avery is down here every once in a while now...not sure where he stays at now. It was sick to have Eddie Bravo and Denny Propokos down for a seminar a few weeks back. Both were very respectful and genuinely cool guys.

There is one this Saturday in St Louis...don't think I will make it. They are streaming the superfight between Denny Propokos and Justin Rader though. NAGA is comig up in august in dallas, should be able to do that and hopefully the pan ams in September.
