gzk Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Competed on Saturday in our affiliation's nationals (well technically Asia-Pacifics, since we have a school or two in Malaysia). Managed to drop a weight class from last year. First minute was gi grip fighting, which I generally don't like, but I managed to get an underhook and used it to get a wedge takedown which got me 2 points (2 more than last year ) and ended up in his half guard. Before I realised my posture was poor he got a cross-collar choke on me. I tried to cross-face out of it but couldn't and was forced to tap. Damn! That guy did go on to finish 3rd in our division, though. Ahh well, better luck next year. Battling biomechanical dyslexia since 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
