BJJ Tournament

Match 1 - Win, 21-0
Match 2 - Loss, Guillotine
Match 3 - Win, Anaconda choke
Match 4 - Loss, Collar choke

overall, I was pleased with my performace. I got takedowns on three out of four of my opponents, and successfully defended all takedown attempts. I'm definitely noticing some improvement.

No-Gi Tournament

Match 1 - Win, 5-2?
Match 2 - Loss, Could not continue due to injury

I'm not exactly sure of the final score in my first match of the day. I managed to severely sprain an intercostal muscle or two during that match, and I needed to be helped up off the mat. I got checked out by the medic, and she gave me the go ahead to continue. going into the second match, I knew I was going to have a tough time, because I was in some righteous pain. I tried to get my underhooks, but the guy shrugged me off. I tried a couple shots, but couldn't fully commit because I was hurting so bad. at that point, I decided that a flying armbar was pretty much my only option, because there was no way I was in any condition to actually wrestle this dude. so, I went for it. kinda almost got it, but just ended up with him in my high guard. he postured up, and I couldn't move. at all. had to tap. it was really disappointing, because I was feeling pretty good about my bracket. oh well. 'til next time.
