Any of you guys going? (Battle At The Beach)

I was wondering if anyone was going to this. It's a few weeks away and it's on Aug. 6th & 7th. And on Aug. 6th there are 15 NHB matches to watch. It's in Wildwood, NJ.

One of my training partners will be going. He will be competing in the Men's Beginner No-Gi 180 lb Middleweight division.

I won't be going because it's far enough from Pittsburgh that I would probably need to get a hotel. I just don't really have the money right now for the entry fee and hotel cost combined.

 

must be nice to be in an area that has a tourny every month.

 

It's about a 6 hour drive down there for me.

 

i'll be there competing in the advanced 150-159 dev and blue belt gi

 

I was going to go and compete, but my new coach (the first real coach I've ever had) told me I need to learn more technique first.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of learning for 7 months, and not being taught any basic techniques like knee elbow escape. But my games coming along quickly, and I hope to be competing soon.

 

good luck! Is this only grappling or did you train for standup also at Serra's?

 

where were you training before and now?

 

TTT!

One week away. I might be doing Gi and No Gi.

 

i might do gi there....i dont know yet, i heard no gi is on saturday and thats why im more comfortable, but if my finger feels alright (i dislocated it a few days) i might come down sun and enterin the white belt division

i know a bunch of guys from my school are going from downingtown, PA

 

Thanks man.....this is a grappling only tournament, I dont train stand up at the serras, but they teach their jiu jitsu with no rules fighting in mind ...they'll show a technique for sportBJJ and then they'll show you how to modify it for the no rules game
