Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament - Sensei’s top impressions…
04/02/11
Congratulations to all the competitors in our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu tournament today.
Here are some stand out matches and competitors that got my attention:
We felt that Max V. was ready for a challenge so we put him up against bigger, more experienced competitors to see how he would handle the situation...he didn't even blink. Max is truly a force to recon with around the dojo.
Sarah P. and Branden D. put on quite a show with a battle that went back and forth for the duration of the match. This was full of exciting non-stop action!
Jared H. and Jalen C. had a great match. Jared attempted a quick knee bar and nearly pulled it off but Jalen was quick to recognize the attempt and was able to escape!
William H. and Jamie G. had a cat and mouse match, but William pulled out a surprise gi choke to win the match.
Finally, the match of the day had to go to Nic P. and Jared T. who battled for take-downs, mounts, reversals, escapes and submission attempts. This was a close match! Every 30 seconds the lead changed. This one could have gone either way but when the time ran out Jared narrowly pulled out the win.
There were several other great matches today and I was so proud of the efforts, skills, learning and the awesome attitudes demonstrated by all our students!
