Picked up a little hardware in a Submission only tourney in my area. 1st competition other than an in-house in March. Learned a ton. Especially that no time limit finals are a bitch. LOL

Congrats man, great seeing hard work paying off.

Side topic: What did you think of the Good Fight overall? I've had mixed experiences with them

Pretty good experience. Ran long. Probably because of them allow last minute sign ups. Lots of kids.

Is 30 Pounds a lot for a tournament? That's like $37..... Average cost of a tournament here is $90 (They do $60-$80 pre registration rate, $80-$100 day of rate)

Yes, a lot. They are very well run by a really good guy, Dave Coles.

£30 is cheap, as others have said. Local comps are around £30 usually, some are a bit more. IBJJF and NAGA are about £75. It can be an expensive hobby.

My kids gym Pacific Top Team is putting on another in house tourney. I'm super happy to say both my kids have asked repeatedly to go in it so I'm signing them up today. PTT has a second location on the other side of town and it's their main one so it's much bigger and nicer. My kids have been training for about 4 months now and stilove it. This will be those first time doing anything that's an organized competition of any kind and I'm really hoping they soak it all in and have fun. I'm gonna be that crazy dad screaming to them from the sidelines I know it.
