Recap of my first BJJ competition (long)

[Shaolin Bushido]

I was at the Bud too, I competed No-Gi Beginner (I should have also done Gi white belt but I couldent get a new Gi in time). Yes it did start way too late, I was there for almost 6 hours before my first match, they had 6 matts totaly and only used 3 most of the time. It was unorganized but I still had a good time.

I won my first match 14-4 but in the middle of the match I took a clean knee shot to the temple that left me almost out after the match. The guy did not do it on purpose and felt terrable after it was over, but not as bad as I felt I had no ballance and had to get helped to the bathroom because I started throwing up. The worst part is I had a match 2 min. later and I could not continue, I was fine about 30 min later but that was the ned of my day. Disapointing could describe my day, I think I could have finished in the top 3 for sure but hey things happen sometimes.

Next year will be much better. They'll be more familiar with how the Convention Center does things.

At least, I hope so.
