Oh my coach is going to the competition in Rome. I didn't know there was a NAGA in Birmingham I couldn't see it here
UK BJJ Competition Calendar 2017
Is it no gi only?
I'm planning on doing hereford one more time. Then maybe hit the competition in Newcastle or Manchester and I will definitely be going to the British open. There's a another competition in London, July that I will probably go to.
If you're going to any of these let me know. I might sign up for NAGA as it's in my home town. I shall see.
Gi and no gi in the same day.

How did you guys get on?
Lost first no gi fight won second one. When my gi division started I missed it. Didn't hear them call my name. They disqualified me for not turning up to the mat but still offered me a fight but said I wouldn't advance to the next round. So I just went out there half trying but still won.
Won 2/3 fights, had fun and met some cool guys too so it was an okay day out.

My back was not ready to go, so I coached my kids team that day, we did awesome... I'm supposed to get a MRI for my lower back (I may have some bulging discs).
Congrats to you though, that's awesome.... I have some friends going to the Zurich Open in May

Congrats my man, way to goWon a NAGA belt today
Just officially signed up for Masters Worlds this August. I am competing at the Atlanta Spring Open in a few weeks, and heading to Carlos Machado's Worlds training camp later in May. There is a Newbreed in Columbia this weekend (just over an hour away), I think i am going to drag the kids down there with me and hope some other old guys show up.
Was thinking of doing the worlds this year. It's normally in September. Will have a look
Wound up fourth no-gi (the expert division is HARD), second in gi. As seems to be the usual case at smaller tournaments, I moved down to the 30 year old division and had to move up in weight for no-gi. Good matches, next competition will be the IBJJF Atlanta Spring Open in a few weeks.
Good job Doc!

Was that at the Newbreed tournament?
Yes
Signed up for the Dallas Open nogi this weekend. I'm the oldest for master 3, rarely train nogi, and a 7 month purple and had to go up in weight. Gonna be fun though. Nothing to lose!
Got some great tips and techniques from Oliver Taza tonight though!

@jasonhightower. The no-gi IBJJF matches are interesting because the rules are the same as gi, so at Purple there are no leg locks except straight ankle. Very different than NAGA and the other orgs that put purples in Expert for no-gi and pretty much all leg locks are legal.

I'm by no means a leg hunter, so when I heard those were the rules I was cool with it. LOL At least for now, gonna start learning more of that game.Good luck
