How come you aren't doing it anymore? There was 7 people now that I checked.
 
For those of you who have done IBJJF, how early do I want to be? Half an hour, an hour? My division is the first of the day.

If you get nervous, maybe about a half hour, if you get there too early you may get anxious.

If you don't really get nervous or anxious, maybe a little early to slowly warm up and check it out.
 
Good luck guys, bring home some medals. Actually, given the number of senior and masters division guys we have, medals are guaranteed :D

Boise, is the NWSC worth doing for a featherweight purple? Phoenix Open is that same weekend and I can't decide which to do.

I'll be at the Phoenix open. Just a FYI, the skill level in AZ is very high and you will definelty get some good matches. At feather purple you could run into former champ Isaac Doderlein, Abu Dhabi comp Issa Able, others usually there: Broadnax twins, Johnny Munoz, Jacob Sandoval etc...

I train at John Machados, but I haven't competed at the Pan Ams since blue belt. Too busy with kids/job. I was hoping I might at least get the chance to go down to see some matches, but I doubt I can even get the time for that. If I do, it'd be for the black belt matches.

Yeah it sucks getting super busy like that! Hope the BB matches are awesome this year.

I am still pretty up in the air, because UGF is the same weekend in town. I am still a pretty new purple (two weeks old), so I am debating about just waiting until July to compete again (after pans).
 
Oh ok, just thought I'd let you know!
 
Are most of GD's upper belts sponsored? I was watching some southwest classic/phoenix open matches and it seemed all his purple belts were all NASCARed up.

Ha yeah no kidding, a lot of them are, they are quite a power-house team here in AZ, a lot of good, talented guys.

Ben Henderson usually competes too if you care about that.

Well so much for seeing you in the finals, looks like you've got a bye in the first round, and assuming I win my match I'll be you're first opponent.

Good luck :mad:
