Had my best roll a few weeks ago but f'd up my rib. Need to build up some strength and work on cardio before I'm confident enough for competitions.
I said the exact same things. My biggest concern was lack of cardio and just dying on the mat. Losing due to poor shape and not technique is not what I want to experience.

Gold and bronze at Paris open. Lost in semis to a great guy in the gi on advantages. He was attacking footlocks off his back for the advantages. He had a similar style to me but was better.

In the no gi I subbed both my opponents via triangle. Lots to learn but I felt like I ironed out some of my weaknesses from the last time I competed.

I'm going to be trying to do a international too, can't wait
I think we should try organise a tmmac meet up some time down the line. I definitely will be competing in the states at some point. It would be cool to roll with everyone on here!

cool
and I think that is Grappling
Is it? Lol

I was telling another mom asking about his win that got the boy in a Crawlspace Cradle. My son rolled his eyes and said, "No, mom! It's a cross face cradle."

:tearsofjoy:

I'll forever call it the crawlspace cradle.

that sound like a construction term to me

I don't grapple...I only have trained striking...so I don't know if wrestling qualifies for sure, I think it does though as it is controlling and manipulating the human body...the real grapplers will chime in and let us know

Oh my Kid's Team did well yesterday at Newbreed Orlando..... We were the overall second place team (only had 12 competitors, the winning team legit had about 40).





Also got a chance to chat with Rodolfo Viera for a while...





Great day all around

Lost at the euros in the third round. Was up 4-2 and got caught by triangle.

Great experience and I think I can definitely hang at this level. Need to work on becoming a better athlete and improving my strength. On to the next one
