Match 3 - from a different angle:



Here is my Absolute Match against Carlos Terrinha (Ironically, I fought him in the 07 Pan Ams):

Pan-Am BJJ Championships 09

Haven't written for a long time ... things have been super busy with preparing for the Pan-Ams, going down to LA to coach and compete in the Pan-Ams, then came home to jump right into the launch of the Sub League season. Crazy.

Pan-Ams were a great experience... and I took 2nd place in the Black Belt / Senior 1 / Middle Weight Division. I was pleased. It's the best I've done at a tournament of this size and caliber (2500 competitors, three days, and LOTS of great grappling).

I'll write more over the next week or so, but I wanted to get up some pics and video.

For the love of the sport,
