Match #2

Heres my 2nd fight. I ran out of steam and got tapped! I'm no longer undefeated but my mission was accomplished!

Match #1

My first competitive grappling match. For some reason the elephant that appeared on my back as soon as we engaged is not visible in the video. Somehow had the energy to pull off the win! I'm undefeated!

I'm not buyin' if I'm not tappin' ~





classic garage moments!

FILA grappling competition July 2010

a great, cheap, no-nonsense comp... just gotta market it better, guys! twice as many competitors and this would have been the best comp in town.

first two matches were short and sweet, and then Kocal made me get nasty w/ the rubber guard:

carleson gracie cup

first and only match -- hard and fast paced for me. the comp itself was poorly run and annoying to just have one guy in my division, but the match was great and I appreciate the experience.

lots of classic garage guard passing wars...yeah baby ~

homemade crack

I built this to train for overhanging crack climbs, like Squamish's cobra crack.



hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

dispatch from Japan

it seems our old friend Tetsuya has been busy! I just received this e-mail from him:

I participated at a competition of Brazilian Jujutsu in Japan.

Then …….,

I’ve got a gold medal!!
Check the attached picture.

I keep to train by myself, and started to do kick box and MMA.

I’m still look forward to roll with you again!
Next time, you can’t get my tap easily!

Take care,

Tetsuya,
