hey just wondering if anyone else is going to compete in this turny in june in regina saskatchewan COPA SASK - SASKATCHEWAN CUP OF BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU AND SUBMISSION WRESTLING
Haha flying armbar!! Best moment of my life man, were you there?
Haha that's me. It was my first submission grappling tournament and I was laughing at how bad I was going to get worked in the team challenge. I jokingly said I was just going to get the flying armbar or flying gogoplata. I actually saw the guy do the thai plum in his first match though so I thought, why not try one, and I actually got it. I got worked in the finals of course, but that was expected.the one who was jumping around like he just took a hit of speed?
In a little gym in Wilkie. It is mostly just a hobby for most of the guys there, only train once a week and we don't train in the summer, I wish there was an MMA gym closer to North Battleford so I could train, gas is too high to make the trip up to Saskatoon weekly. When I am done school next year if I can do well enough in wrestling to get a scholarship to the university of regina or saskatoon, then I can finally train like I want to.
Thanks for the encouragement man, I just can't wait to start training full-time or at least 5 or 6 times a week. I am just ready to wrestle next year and try my best to impress anyone and everyone watching so I can go to University and wrestle in a bigger city, Saskatoon has a few good MMA gyms and I would love to train with AJ Scales in Regina.You could be a demon, if you're this young and pulling shit like that off already while just training casually. That would be awesome if you could get in with the Huskies. Todd Hind is a great trainer. He has pumped out some phenomenal wrestlers like Jeff Adamson (world class), Daniel Olver and Keith Folkerson.
Haha yup I will be there for sure. You? I'm 17 now.Atta boy! Sounds like your cleanin house!
Competing in Copa on June 12th? How old are you now?
Random Update: Did pretty good in wrestling this year. Started off 22-0 with 5 gold medals but lost the provincial final by 1 point to a guy I beat twice before so it was kind of disappointing. 22-1 overall high school year.
Then went to nationals in Burnaby, B.C. and went 2-2, placing fourth. Also tried out greco and went 1-1 getting a silver medal since there were only 3 people in the category.
Got some scholarship money from the U of R so I will be a Cougar next year competing in CIS and NAIA. Hope to become an All-American and All-Canadian as many times as possible. Since I'm in Regina hopefully I can train at Complete MMA as much as possible with AJ Scales and the guys there. Hope I can make a splash in MMA in the coming years.
It is likely that nobody will read this but I'm bored as hell.
