Got my azz kicked by an Awesome Purple yesterday

[davejitsu]

Just wanted to pay props to Fernando Cabeca Purple belt
Matheus Dias. The guy has some sick jiu-jitsu and really did awesome in the Absolute Division. It was zero-zero half way through the match, when I made a stupid mistake and gave him my arm, while trying to pass his Spider Guard. Anyways...much respect bro!

I'm in the Blue (took second in the Absolute). L to R is me, Matheus Dias (Cabeca), Kevin Wind Jr. (Kioto) & in the front Black belt Fernando Cabeca. It was the PABJJF Championships in Scranton, Pa.

haha..no its an A5..I know I'm getting out of shape since hitting my mid thirties, I hear it everyday from my BB instructor. Both of those guys have Pan Am medals, so they definately had good talent there & both are great guys to talk to

Now you're making me feel bad for being a lazy 30-something.

btw...funny as hell at Tudor for remembering that other thread. That was comedy gold.

your skills are 100% probably better than mine im not bashing you in paticular

but i hate the absolute division for the fact that there is always a guy who places because hes like 275lbs

alot of time it comes down to now who is the best but who is maybe just as good but bigger

I think that this is true in the white and blue belts, but not in the higher belts. I know that my skills speak for themself and I am not a lay and pray guy. I work from any position, especially off my back. That is what has allowed me to do well in events, b/c most big guys use strength and tire out... but in the purple belt division (so far) techniques definately wins out

Not to mention, I should be competing against older guys, but that was in the adults division, so those guys have more speed than I do

I was there...that guy was definitely skilled...u all showed real good skill and all eyes were def on you since you were the only 3 purple belts....heres one of my fights
