Just got done the Grappling Tournament

[jimmie]

Yeah just finished a few hours ago heres how I did. First make nothing happened for about 20 secounds until he accidentally poked me in the eye which blinded me a good 10 secounds the ref was like you wanna take a break im like "na sir im good". Once I got my sight back he tried to shoot I caught him in a Guillintine with 1 arm in I immeditaley pulled guard and started working the choke but I relized with one arm I remember learning the move you gotta turn it almost like a clock I started doing that my opponet rolled to his side which just made things worse and he tapped out I won.

2nd bout same thing happened I saw the Guillintine opening took it and pulled guard but this time he was tucking his chin good so the move was that tight I didnt wanna just gas out trying the impossible so I let it go grabbed a underhook and tried to work guard. I tried a sweep once almost got it but he was pretty strong he then stood up and tried the knee in the butt pass but I chopped him down back into guard. I was close to a Triangle attempt but I just could get that one arm out and he used my failure there to pass to side control he held long enough to get his points. I got him back to guard for about a secound before he moved to north south then I rolled to all fours and pulled guard agian the Guillintine agian was there and I had control of the neck this time but I just couldnt get the legs wraped around I was kinda stock in half guard. He won on points and I took home 3rd place.

Losing sucks but it was a nice experience and ill learn from it and improve cant wait till another one.

Congratz on your good showing, Jimmie.

Congratz on your good showing, Jimmie.

Thanks I tried my best thats all I really can do next time im bringing a fucking snack man I got so weak inbetween fights all I had today was bowl of cereal. Made no difference he probablly wins anyway the harder I couldve went I think the harder he wouldve went he just seemed to be trying to get the win without to much danger which I suppose is better then one guy I seen get a takedown and just fucking hold on for deal life in guard the entire bout.

[J_Roth]

Congratz Jimms. I hope you kick their asses next time.

[Tyga]

You will learn from this experience. Good luck on your next tournament.

Good job, nothing wrong with losing on points right now.

[jimmie]

Good job, nothing wrong with losing on points right now.

Oh yeah no doubt but a loss is always disaponting especially when it was fairly close but he was able to just do alittle bit more. That said I gave it all I had I made some mistakes though like I didnt work on breaking his posture maybe enough and when I tried to sweep him I didnt open my guard up quick enough but I suppose this will come with experience. I didnt grapple my smartest but it was my hardest when they yelled out 10 secounds left I just used all of my strength to roll out of that north south and go for that Guillintine but I kinda just got stuck in half guard. Atleast I got a win out it though and 3rd place is better then last.

good job bro

[younghypnotiq]

nice bro. was it BJJ? if so was it gi or not gi? and wat belt was this?

[jimmie]

nice bro. was it BJJ? if so was it gi or not gi? and wat belt was this?

if it wasnt BJJ wat was it

BJJ,I did No GI,Im still a White Belt I plan on starting GI so I can get my promotion just im kinda broke and cant afford one or cant seem to find a cheap price.

[Cameron]

dude do the gi. i started as a wrestler and then started bjj. i started just no gi then did gi. my game shot up ten fold from using the gi. i know it sounds dumb but the gi helps your over all game. guys who train the gi will beat you. if you trained the gi you probaly will win your next tourney if you came third in this one. trust me

the cheap gi's are atama and bad boy i think bad boys are going for 100 now a days. thats about the cheapest gi i know of.

[jimmie]

I always hear about the GI helping your game I believe everyone just im trying to save money right now but its going to happen soon enough though.

o werd. thats watsup. honestly tho GI was one of the biggest actors in imporving my game. once i started training GI i got mad good mad quick. nd im a wrestler so i was not used to it but i got better faster wtih gi. just buy a cheap one for like 50 bucks. even GSP trains mainly with a GI and he has great BJJ. how long have u been a white belt for?

Ive only been training at an academy since the very end of May but after a couple days I got ill for a good 2 weeks then our gym moved and we where closed for a week so you can really say ive only been training since early July. So ive been a Whitebelt for a few months obviously I struggled hard with BJJ my first 2 months id say its getting alot better now. The GI instructor told me to come to his class cause he does the promotions at our gym he said im ready for atleast the black stripe on the whitebelt.

the man speaks the truth the gi will up your game quick. but to the thread starter your club can hook you up with any deals on gi's? my club dose for people and you get them for like 70 bucks just a basic gi.
