JP competed in the Juvenile Light Featherweight Division. The age group was 16 - 17-years old or birthdays in 1992 and 1993. JP was still 15 at the time of the Tournament.
he is just a kid at his first huge tournament and the first time against other kids that tough so he just was trying to hold out for time not being stubborn. He wasn't trying to be brave or anything...that is just his first time to get choked out like that and he thought he could hold out and found out he couldn't. all fighters learn eventually. To his family he has a warrior's heart just for being brave enough to try. And tapping to an arm bar is different than a choke.
So there's no shame in taking a nap and waking up to your coach & medics hovering over you trying to wake you up at every tournament? Wow, I'd hate for you to be an instructor Cycismo....You're a piece of work !!!
You'll have to excuse most of the commenters below, most of them are completely ignorant of sport jiu jitsu and competition.
It takes a warrior heart just to step onto that mat against someone who wants to choke your lights out. It takes courage to let yourself take a nap rather than tap; and there's NO shame in doing so.
My brother and I are both grapplers, my brother took home the gold medal this year in Blk Blt division.
We know it takes courage to step onto the mat. You're not the only that trains. So you're saying that you have the heart of gold when someone snaps your arm or dislocates your knee? Then you'll be off of training for 8 weeks or longer recovering from a broken bone or dislocated joint. Real smart man..
If you notice, JP was caught in a triangle choke, not an arm bar. He successfully defended the arm bar twice. I have seen grown men tap far sooner than that teenager last before passing out. He was doing what he was supposed to do to defend. Blood chokes are funny in the amount of time you have to work with; sometimes 4 seconds, other times well over 30.
he didn't intentionally take a nap but just innocently thought he could hold off a bit longer hoping for the bell but laughed later when he realized it was too late! This was his first experience being stuck that tight in someone else's triangle! He learned and I think he will likely tap next time! :D Thanks for the your positive comments for a kid! Congrats to your brother! and good luck fighting!
i dunno about being a warrior. But hopefully your son learned a valuable lesson in this and i hope he learns from this experience. Best of luck to him
Thumbs up to jonathon for not giving up so easily says something about his character. good match

To qualify for this division, the 16-17 year olds had to be Blue Belt. Roughly two years of training.

By the way - I blame the ref for not being in position to monitor what is going on for your kid falling asleep here.

Well this time it isn't ignorance, it's just plain stupidity. Do you really think I said that it's honorable to resist a joint lock?
If you can't tell the difference between a joint lock and blood choke, then you just validated my first comment.
