1st Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (OPEN) tournement in Abu Dhabi last weekend. I was pumped! I was thinking to myself, unless this person is tough as nails, I'm gonna win my match. But the guy I went up against had this weird air of confidence and it's like he didn't care about warming up or getting himself pumped or anything. He just stood their with a slight grin.
Ok so the match started (I am 2 month BJJ whitebelt BTW but can hang pretty tough with the blues in my school and beat most of the whites)
I got thrown, stoodup, thrown again, armbar attempt, defended, triangle attempt defended, and finally caught in an armbar a couple minutes into the match. Found out later it was a JUDOKA BLACK BELT!!! He went on to plece second in my weight division (Under 73K) and lost only to his teacher who is a higher black belt and Olympian!
Shoo!
