NAGA '10

this is me (white shorts/red rash guard) competing at the NAGA tournament in Villa Park.

I lost 8-2 via points.

Editors notes:

i tried a flying triangle at the start, i was meaning to just pull guard but saw that he left his arm out so i went for it. He escapes and takes side control. At about :25 you can see him grinding my face with his elbow.. whatever. He stalls for a bit, i jailbreak into half guard but he passes to mount. As i'm sweeping him, my dad (camera man) walks away to get a better shot. Mid sweep i left my neck out and he took advantage of it. He had it pretty deep but he kept readjusting and that gave me time to breath. I finall get out of it, after about a full minute. I go for a neck crank and leave my arm open for the armbar, which he takes. He flattens me out to my stomach, starts cranking my arm, it hurt pretty bad. He readjusted it a couple times, and with each readjustment it hurt worse. But i wasn't going to tap. If he wanted it bad enough he should've snapped it. I escape and we stand back up. He shoots in and gives me a guillotine but passes my guard immediately nullifying the choke and we finish the match out him in my half guard lockdown. Good first tournament for me, sucks to lose but at least i got the experience.
