My avatar tells it all!

Frankly, I was irked at both those guys (BTW, my very first opponent was an injury default, so I should have had three matches). Red LITERALLY just crabbed up in my guard for 5 minutes (yes, that was a sloppy captain kirk on my part). Don’t think he tried to pass once. You could see me working my butt off to lapel choke, kimura, sweep, etc.

What was just AS infuriating was the butt scooting in the first match. The guy, at one point, raised his hands to say, “WTF?” while he sat there. I gave him a WTF back and motioned him to stand. He stood shortly after…..and that’s when I tossed him and lapel choked his a$$. LEARN A DAMN TAKEDOWN!!

Butt scooting and inactive guard passing….and some of these jits guys say krav is unrealistic.

Next is likely judo state championships. Keep ya posted.

Re: La Rev’s BJJ Tournament

They should have given the red guy a negative point or a warning or something for stalling like that. Even his corner was telling him to posture and pass.

Yo Rev, you going to do Mundials?

Probably just to ring coordinate/score keep. We’ll see.

Re: La Rev’s BJJ Tournament

who did you get your blue from?

Re: La Rev’s BJJ Tournament

From these cats, back in the day:

And yes, that’s Yamasaki, as in Mario Yamasaki, of UFC fanfare. That’s one tough camp, BTW!

Speaking of east coast grappling, Yasuhiro Yamash!ta, the Rickson of judo, recently did a seminar at Georgetown judo.

One of the only reasons I miss[ed] the [L]east coast.

Re: La Rev’s BJJ Tournament

Congrats. How is a BJJ match like that scored? Your opponent seemed to be tired and not doing a whole lot while you were up on your feet and very energetic. Do you get points for takedowns and pins?
