Second Jiu Jitsu Tournament

Pan Ams 2008 - Adult Blue Belt Rooster Weight
This is my second time competing and first as a blue belt. I had a cold all week and was pretty stuffy, but decided to compete anyway, I actually felt pretty good going into it.

My plan was to pull guard (put him on the defensive) and attack from there. He slammed me multiple times but wasnt DQed - even though that is an illegal move. Im sure they would have DQed him if I had been injured.

All you had to do was isolate that left arm for your hook sweep! cold feeling

yea.. i know, its hard to watch and see the mistakes you made, but its a great learning experience.. I need to polish my hook sweep technique

Did you lose the decision? I had you winning. The guy on top wasn't as active IMO. You were transitioning a lot of different guards and attacks and had him defending more.

The top guy didn't seem to have a lot of technical passes. I wasn't impressed with his knee in groin pass. No offense but your half guard was passable and he wasn't passing it and almost got swept. If his passing was more technical he wouldn't had to resort to slamming, which I definitly saw it as being.

good job though!

I agree that was a slam

Your technique is actually pretty good. IMO your problem was the timing and set ups of your sweeps and armbars. To work from the bottom you need to work techniques(ie push, pull, hanging etc)to fatigue your opponent while youre relaxing on your back. And then, attack. Good job!

you dont think that was a slam? well i guess you disagree with the judges then.

I dont understand why everyone thinks they should just agree with a judges decision, if you compete at all you know that the judges always make wack decisions.. better not to leave it to them. Obviously I could have done a better job but I feel like I did pretty well for my second competition.

I agree, that was not a slam. Stop complaining.

[sacto81636]

Stop acting like a bitch! Your just pissed because you lost. Excuses are the easy way out.

Good fight from the bottom man.

Good fight from the bottom. You almost had that hook sweep.
