Pendergrass tourney
- Thread starter Doop
- Start date
Lapu-Lapu won his division in the intermediates (190ish -204 I think) and he placed 3rd in the intermediate absolute. Despite only training sub grappling/BJJ for 7 months.
We had a couple other guys place in the beginner divisions. All our guys are technically beginners, but Lapu - Lapu entered the intermediates because BY THE RULES wrestling experience counts as direct grappling experience. He seemed to be one of the few who adhered to that rule.
I saw a bit of sandbagging, but overall our guys did well, especially considering we split our training time evenly between kickboxing and grappling.

See any Team Roc Gboro guys at there?
I dont know, they, just like we do have ROC on the back of shirts and I never know who is from where. THe only ROC guys I know are Jason, Billy, Spencer and Greg. The other affiliates I am not familiar with. The only guys I see who train with ROC are the ones who go to the group training sessions we have monthly at Crossfit for MMA guys.

I had a beautiful shot and take down, while passing guard I got caught in a triangle and choked out 
I did okay considering I have only been training for 6 weeks.

I'm in the Black.
btw, Congrats Lapu-Lapu. I saw your match and thought the size mismatch was crazy, but you handled it very well.

Man there was all sorts of controversy around that one. I thought I felt a tap as one of the spectators said "tap" and let go of the armbar because I thought it came from my opponent. The poor ref didn't know what to do so we restarted with the armbar and his thumb down.
THEN, the guy taps, but the ref doesn't stop the match so I keep holding it, tell the ref he needs to tell me when to stop, and then finally get the Ok.
That was the only guy in my division and I didn't sign up for absolute so I only got one match

Could you edit those results as Elliot is TFTC (which is ROC as well, so either TFTC/ROC) or just TFTC. I am sure Elliot put both on his application. This is for Elliot Acosta, who won the intermediates 190-219.9.
Just a nit pick, but I would appreciate it.

I have updated Elliot's team name to TFTC. Typically, if a team is under a larger umbrella (TFTC is part of Team ROC, for example), we use the larger team name. That is so that the team points all roll up together.
I didn't know Elliot was part of TFTC, though - the bracketing info just says Team ROC. Thanks for the info!!

You bet - Elliot's entry said ROC, or I would have listed him separately, too. I asked a few people if TFTC should fall under Team ROC, and no one was 100% sure. I thought that they were, but didn't want to be wrong and have to change them all back.
