Folkstyle in HS? Judo? Something? Jaysus man, if you seriously only have 7 months of total grappling experience you are the second coming of BJ Penn...
Congrats! Very impressive victories for someone only training 7 months. How often do you train a week?
i never wrestled in hs, no judo, just bust my ass in new castle pa under john and kate rozzi (saulo brown belts) i trained six days a week for this tournament, about two hours a night after my classes were done at college. and thanks for the kind words guys the highlight is on its way too
thanks for the kind words man, but we all know thats impossible haha. I only trained informally, as in i went with some friends who all knew nothing like me, to a place with mats and rolled around, for like a month.
For anyone that is interested here is a little highlight i threw together today, hope its not too shitty!!!!! <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/njeJk4lPJD8&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/njeJk4lPJD8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
here is the link to the highlight i threw together hope its not too shitty! and sorry if i double posted YouTube - Kumite Highlight
I was going to write the EXACT same thing!! You looked awesome!! but I dont believe you only have 7 months under your belt....nonetheless you looked good
ya john gets into it, he is a great coach though. Definitely the kind of guy that would do anything for you
I suppose if he trained 6 days a week, 2-3 hours each training plus a few double trainings per day it is possible for him to be this good after 7 months. Even if he told us he has been training for a year he still looked very good in the videos.
hmmm i think you got the wrong guy, three of us fought me a dude in a black gi who is super calm, and a 12 year old kid
