Ronan 103 Grapplers Quest Boston win for gold No-Gi

Excellent hard-fought match. The boy in black looked skilful and a dangerous opponent but Ronan was stronger and I thought dominated the fight. Very impressive grappling by both fighters, good demonstration of technical skills, fitness, physical and mental strength, and fighting spirit

@BeastlySwitch Yes, advanced, At what min./sec. on the video?

[Stryker125]

Great match. How old is Ronan now? He's gotten so much bigger!

[SERB98]

@Stryker125 Thanks. 13

Outstanding match.

@MegaZeldafan1 Thanks. I wish the matches could be longer, At this skill level 4 min. doesn't allow them to develop their strategy. I think his opponent partially gave up @ about 3:00 because he was down on points and had less than a minute and was in a bad position.

When he is in the other guys guard why does he push down on the stomach??

[SERB98]

@redz948 To keep his opponent from sitting up into him and getting control of his posture by pulling down on the back of his head.

@redz948 Aside from the what others gave to answer this question, lots of escaping the full guard comes from that particular action of maintaining poster as well as preventing the opponents hips from elevating.
