xxnu Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Rolled in the South East Queensland BJJ Champs on Saturday in the Blue Belt Super Heavy Weight division (92-98kg) Didn't expect much, entered as a learning experience more than anything else, but ended up winning 2 gold for my troubles! WOOT! Won the Gi final in 30 secs (Gi Choke submission - no youtube video of it though) Link to comment

shiggles Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Very nice work.I'm just going to go ahead and drop this right here...In that first no-gi video you posted up it looks to me like your opponent should have been penalised for that leg lock attempt early on. I guess that's the way it goes. "I lift heavy things. Sometimes these things are people." Link to comment

I guess that's the way it goes.Yeah, I've been told that, I didn't think it was legal either, it was a calf crank... hurt, but then I realised it wasn't getting any worse so just decided to pass it. The guys face as he realised I was coming back up and through towards him was funny... could just see he was like "WTF?!" That from Saturday as well? What divs? (and congratulations to you too!)

signalguy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nice work. Loved the transitions in the gi video. Couldn't see everything, but did you finish with a loop choke? Daily Mile My BJJ Life Link to comment
xxnu Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Something like that yeah. Link to comment
shiggles Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 That from Saturday as well? What divs? (and congratulations to you too!)Mine was for absolute gi and no-gi (erm beginner though ).Actually I have a question if you don't mind. I see you in the videos wearing what looks to be an IBJJF rashie. I need to get myself one for the nationals later this year. Can you recommend a place that has reasonable prices? I'm looking at getting one shipped from overseas as they are much cheaper. "I lift heavy things. Sometimes these things are people." Link to comment
xxnu Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I got mine from here but the rules stipulate that the rashie must contain a certain percentage of your belt colour. As a white belt this opens up the opens really... skins come in white. That said, I've still my white rashie and rolled in that for about twice a week for over a year and it's still holding up ( Though it's more grey and black now than white and black), so if you're looking for quality Koral are pretty good, but not the cheapest most likely.

xxnu Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Also, blondish short hair is that you? White Gi? (Or am I thinking of someone else...) Link to comment
shiggles Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hmm it could be me.Although there would have been a few people with a white gi and short hair around. And I do normally try and choke people out who associate me with the word 'blond' Yeah, those prices are much more expensive here. I'm also limited by the fact I refuse to wear rashies that are all or mostly white. "I lift heavy things. Sometimes these things are people." Link to comment
xxnu Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hurry up and get your Blue Belt then I mean most of the other girls had darker hair that were doing Gi from what I recall. If it's who i think (must be) you were dominating. Link to comment
shiggles Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah that's probably me then. Now that I recall, the other girls were wearing blue gis and I was in white.Makes a difference when you are a heavyweight against lights and feathers though. "I lift heavy things.
