I tend to find palm to palm easier with gloves on and use the bicep grip in Gi. I might try the Bicep again tonight and see how I get on. Thanks for the advice Cheers brah... Haha... when the dude shot in I had a big smile on my face. He did the hard work for me!!! I jumped into that half guard! I always find half guard an easy place to get a reversal a MMA guys... Hopefully next time I'll not be at heavy... again! My next BJJ tournament is 94.1KG with the Gi so I shouldn't be at heavy next time! Lynchburg
No need to put the guy out... I could tell he was close and I'm not the type of person that holds subs until the ref jumps in. 5ft10". Why? Same as Mark Hunt :deal Lynchburg
Yeah... i'm heading to 185lbs at the moment and then after a while there I will push for 170lbs if I can... If I can't then i'll stay at 185lbs. Cheers brah... :lama I might be entering the British Open in May... i'll let you all know if I do :deal Lynchburg
Well... Once again I struggled with the weight cut :verysad I only have myself to blame. I didn't eat yesterday or up until the weigh-ins and had to have hot baths with a sweat suit on last night and this morning. In the build up I felt very tired and weak. I've let myself down a lot. I went there with the intentions of taking gold and ****ed up royaly. In the semi final I was 7 points up going into the last minute but I had nothing left... Zero! I feel pretty embarrassed to be honest. In the bronze medal match I had nothing from the start. I was going to pull out before the match as I was seeing black and orange spots but I went through with it. I've learned my lesson and I'll take some time off from comps to get down in weight and refocus... Maybe this is the best thing that could of happened to me :think Thoughts? Don't be ****s though...

Why would you take time off from competing? Some sort of self punishment? Fear of losing? Don't worry, you're not a Gracie. Losses will not hurt your family's legacy or anything. Losses in grappling competitions are almost meaningless in the long run. If you become a professional mma fighter, then you will want to avoid losing an mma bout. I wouldn't recommend taking any time off because you're struggling to stay on your diet even with a competition coming up. Just think of how hard it will be knowing that you've put off competing indefinitely and you can just start training tomorrow...or next week...or next month. I'm a big fat guy that hasn't always been a big fat guy. I'm up and down in weight a lot, but I have been up for a while now. I've recently lost 18 lbs because I'm going to be involved with a local movie project later this year. I still have a lot more weight to go, but were it not for that project, I would probably lose focus and put all of that weight back on.
Cheers Rek! Good luck with the film! Hope it turns out good! I will be traing tomorrow. Wrestling in the morning, gym in the afternoon and no-Gi and Gi in the evening. I'm going to not compete next week because I'd like to move down a weight class. I won't be taking more than a few months off from comps. Lynchburg
