First BJJ tournament today

[phenomfan1529]

Today I competed in my first BJJ competition. It was the first time I've ever been to one so I didn't know what to expect and I was so excited but at the same time kinda nervous. I won my first 2 matches (kimura & guillotine) and lost my third match (triangle). The dude started off with an armbar then transitioned to traingle. Pretty cool even though I got tapped.

So I just wanted to ask how was your first time competing like? and how did it go?

Congrats on competing. Bonus points for putting up a good showing.

first competition ever was the nationals I finished 3rd in my weight division and got my knee vaporized at the open weight. Took me 6 weeks to be fully back on the mat but it was worth it:icon_chee

Guys how long did u train for b4 u won a tournament?

My first tournament was nogi and I lost my only match (3 months training) to the eventual div winner.

My second tournament was 7 months in, gi and nogi divisions, lost 2 matches on each div.

Have yet to win a single match, so I don't know if it's cos those other people trained longer or I just completely suck.

 

[Super.Froggy]

4-5 months. Entering early is good you shouldn't have any expectation and you'll see how it's like. I was all excited/nervous for my first comp and now it's like a walk in the park :icon_chee
I remembered once tapping a guy out in under 2 mins he was all disappointed and his coach made me laugh when he was yelling "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT YOU'VE ONLY BEEN TRAINING FOR 3 MONTHS YOU DID WELL" I guess that guy by now will be more careful when he's in someone's half guard trying to claim his back :icon_lol:

 

[onemadmofo]

Great job, I am looking forward to competing in my first tourney as a blue belt in a couple of months.

i competed in a naga tourney back in may after only training 3 hours a week for about a month and a half.

i was pretty nervous but it wasnt too bad, even won my first match.
