    :lol:

    So i spoke one of the guys running this yesterday to ask if i could get in on this as it sold out two weeks ago.

    Luckily for me the guy said he could get me in... at 100.5kg- LOL! I said yes... :D

    At the moment i'm about 92kg and 93.5kg with my Gi so i'll need to gain 800g to make the minimum weight :bbb

    I'll let you all know how i get on... if i get spanked in the first match though I doubt i'll post here again...

    **** it go for it its not like you are going to get battered or hurt, if you get submitted in the first few seconds just walk away with your head held low and get the **** out of there asap, 800 g easy cut down on your fibre 3 days before the comp

    I got silver.

    The guy I lost to won the Super super heavyweight comp last time and got his blue belt as soon as he won. Fair play to him!

    Well I'm pleased. At the end of the day these guys are naturally way bigger than me and I just scraped into the weight class.

    Gold next time!!!

    Videos up tomorrow...

    Very nice work.

    I've always been suspicious of comps, I've seen guys wearing white belts that very obviously had the skill of experienced blue belts. I was talking to one of the refs once and he said he'd seen several guys with 4 stripes on their white belts for 3 years running. They never grade up and they just keep winning gold. I knew one guy personally who had only been training BJJ for like 2 months, he entered a comp as a white belt and won every single match on points. He was a legitimate BJJ white belt, but he was also a national champion black belt Judoka in his home country.

    ive seen this happen with guys who switch gyms alot. theres a guy at my gym who only just got his blue belt and i usually really have to focus when we roll. its clear he should at least be a purple but he hasnt hung around long enough at any one gym to get graded.
    his last tournament he won gold at white belt by winning four matches in about 3 minutes total.

    Let me know what you think guys. The less abuse the better but there are a few people on here that can't help themselves.

    Rusty and Primate I'd like to know what you guys think as you seem to be pretty high level in your knowledge.
