Anthony and I had a great time at the RevGear Competition League tournament! It was definitely more organized than their first one last year. Start times ran a little behind (maybe ~ 45 min), but I didn’t mind. I always bring snacks and plenty of water to make sure I’m not hungry. The mats are very nice, and they had big screens at every mat to keep track of the score. There were six women in my division… I had a bye the first round. I won my first match via choke, and second match via points. It was nice to have Anthony and Giva coaching me!
Anthony won his match by points…Giva coached him through a great guard pass 🙂
Things to work on: Staying low when transitioning from side control to knee on belly. Establishing good position from knee on belly before attempting a choke. Maintaining pressure when going N/S.
Happy about: Completing a throw! I’ve been working on it 🙂 Completing a snap down…off of a stuffed takedown. Completing a choke from knee on belly.
