tallgeese Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This weekend I got to go try out the Chicago S7, the new tournament production from Herb Dean and company of UFC fame. It's a new set of rules, or at least modified, and is in its inception year. A couple of things. First up, its new and has some kinks to work out and wasn't as heavily attended as a comparable NAGA event. However, I liked the heavy focus on submission effort over playing points and any promotion that isn't a NAGA is a bonus in my book. As for the venue, they went all out for the Sears Center here in the Chicago-land area. Worlds better than any NAGA or IBJJF has done in the past. If you get the chance, give one of them a go. I'd like to see them make a go of it. The club I'm out of had a real good showing, and I had a good day as well walking away with a gold in my division and the absolute. Big thanks to my club an and coach who also had my corner.Here's my matches from the weekend:http://youtu.be/UaUeWymSrMQ Good run this time thru.

bushido_man96 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Good stuff, Alex. Thanks for posting this up. It sounded like you got to get some good coaching from the side of the mat, which I think is great for learning in competitions.I loved your coache's line, "That's real life Jiu Jutsu right there!" Good stuff! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
