*I LOST BY POINTS (4 - 2), I RAN OUT OF TIME*

So Yeah, I won first place in my own division (145lb & under) and had some fight left in me...:icon_twis

nice ! did you actually armbar him over his own leg ? or it just looks like it ?

dude i dont even know, i was just trying to bend his arm in any way. i lost by the way, he won (he beat me on takedowns).

I had 10 seconds to do any kind of damage so i was just doing anything i can think of.
 
Any videos from within your weight class? Looked good, i liked your takedown in that match, did you go for an armdrag to single? I can't really tell, but my takedown game is ass anyways.
 
it looked like you were a second or two away from making it 4-4 with that sweep. that guy didn't look like he much other than some takedowns.
 
Yeah it was armdrag to single leg.

That dude is actually my homeboy LOL we trained together for like a year, we're on the same team. Why we had to fight eachother in the absolute is beyond me.

Yeah I'm still confused how it was even 4-2 (fkn ref/judges!), but if I had 3 more seconds it would have been 4-6 because I was ontop of him (mount = 4 points, but according to NAGA rules you have to hold it for at least 3 seconds and I had it for only like 1 second).

But hey, atleast NOW I'll go back to the drawing boards and make sure I don't waste any more time.

and another thing...i really need to learn how to SPRAWL

Any videos from within your weight class?

too lazy to upload right now, maybe tomorrow. I'll pm you when I do, I don't think they're worthy of their own post.
 
Wow good shit. Kenn sucks though you should have beat him lol :icon_chee Everytime i see you roll you get better and better. I miss the Csula Jiu jitsu days:icon_cry2 Oh and kenns takedown are nice.

haha damn Charles! You should have been there, you should have fought!

Man wtf, me and kenn rolled 324982957987 times and the first time he got me was the first time we entered a comp. together....WTF!
hahah....i'll get him back, and say it was from Charles! :icon_twis

and yeah Kenn's takedowns have gotten WAAAY better!
 
need to learn how to use the clock better and not waste so much time jumping around pretending you know how to do takedowns. as much as i dislike guardpulling, if you know your takedowns are weak, just pull guard. it seems like you have a very solid and active guard, so why not use that to your advantage. good job btw!
 
it looked like you were a second or two away from making it 4-4 with that sweep. that guy didn't look like he much other than some takedowns.

true......he was the type that looked like he would just throw elbows and pound from the ground. his style had zero submissions for grappling only tournaments. cool vid though....
 
That armdrag/single was so fast I had to rewind to actually catch it.
 
Cool vid, nice guard!

That has to be the smallest absolute division match I've ever seen tho.
 
you wouldn't have got the points for the mount since he had his arm in because you were trying to sink the traingle. you would have gotten the sweep points though. if they had an overtime thats probably where it would have gone to if you hadn't got him to tap to the armbar by then given a few more seconds.
 
What's the music you have playing if you don't mind my asking?
It's interesting.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, but I'm not gonna be pulling guard anytime soon. If I get taken down, ehh, I need to work on my sprawl. My takedowns are weak but if I'm in a match I'm gonna have fun and taking ppl down is FUN and I'm not gonna pass it up, even if it means losing.
But as far as working the clock goes, that is something I am DEF. working on now.

he was the type that looked like he would just throw elbows and pound from the ground. his style had zero submissions for grappling only tournaments.

he does MMA

That has to be the smallest absolute division match I've ever seen tho.

I was 140, He was in his 160s. The winner (him) had to face a guy that weighed like 180? The winner of the entire absolute division weighed 190lb.

you wouldn't have got the points for the mount since he had his arm in because you were trying to sink the traingle. you would have gotten the sweep points though

ahh I see. I guess the sweep would tied us...I wonder why I never got points for them though ?_?
Oh well, it was fun...I had a blast =)


What's the music you have playing if you don't mind my asking?
It's interesting.

It's from a Brazilian group...Barbatuques - Baian
