My First Tournament

Yesterday I competed in my first BJJ tournament after just over 10 months of training. Here is my take on the whole thing:

And thank you to Professor Schilling for being an awesome coach and helping me prepare for a good first experience. He lead our team to a Gold Medal Team Victory.

Ous.

Nice post Redfined. I can relate to the anxiety before your first tournament. I think it was my student Tim that caught you in the guillotine. He was more surprised than anyone- he is a BB in karate but just started jiujitsu. He didn't even know what kesa gatame position was the day before the tournament. Keep up your training and good luck.
