EDH BJJ compete in JJWL Competition

 The team went to Stockton to compete in a Jiu Jitsu World League tournament this last weekend. We had three Juniors class competitors, one Juvenile competitor and three adult/masters competitors. Out of our seven competitors we took home three gold medals and two silver medals.

Our Juniors class competitors all looked great. They were able to execute techniques that we have been working on in class and that were a part of their individual gameplans. I saw them hit good takedowns, sweeps and use excellent top pressure and guard retention. Our Juvenile competitor fought hard in some action packed matches. He won a silver medal and it was exciting to watch.

The Masters competitors dominated their divisions. They displayed some great Jiu Jitsu all around. I was most impressed with the guard passing and a couple of the submissions by those guys.

My matches didn’t go well which was frustrating but I am excited to get back to work and compete again in November. Going to tournaments is always fun when there are a few or more people from the team competing, overall I had a great time coaching and competing.

EDH Jiu-Jitsu competes in JJWL Golden State

  The Jiu Jitsu World League Golden State tournament was last weekend. Our school had eleven youth competitors and three adult competitors. Everybody performed well. 

    I started the day coaching some of the kid competitors. It was great to see many of them make huge improvements since their last tournaments. One of our students hit a couple of really nice hip bump sweeps, at a previous tournament he struggled to finish that technique. Another student, who lost by arm bar in her last tournament was put in the same attack but she was able to defend and even counter the attack with a guard pass! 

    I won four out of five of my matches earning a bronze medal. My first match went pretty well, I scored a takedown, passed the guard and was able to finish with a head and arm choke. My second match I lost by triangle choke which put me in the bracket fighting for third place. My third match was pretty close but I scored a takedown early and was able to win the scrambles caused by my opponents sweep attempts. My fourth match I got the takedown and was able to take the back with a knee on belly setup that has been a part of my game plan for a while now. My final match for third place was the most fun, I scored the takedown, there were some scrambles and some back and forth action but I eventually took the back and finished with a bow and arrow choke. 

    Overall the team looked great. It’s so inspiring to watch everybody improve and get stronger. I am excited to continue my preparation for the World Championships with the feedback from this outing.
