MatShark RGV Pro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships – August 10, 2013

On August 10, 2013, I competed in the MatShark RGV Pro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships. It was held at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas. My weigh-in weight was 145 pounds. I competed in the Gi and Nogi 140 – 150 pound, 13 – 15 year old divisions. In Nogi, my division was combined with the 16 – 17 year old, 150 – 160 pound division. I fought a 17 year old from the 150 – 160 pound division for the Nogi gold medal. My first Nogi match was also against an opponent from the 16 – 17 year old 150 – 160 pound division. I won first place in both Gi and Nogi. Click on “Continue Reading” to see videos of my matches and some pictures from this tournament.

I had two Gi matches. This is my first Gi match.
My opponent was put to sleep with an Ezekiel choke because he did not tap out. He was snoring and foaming at the mouth as he laid passed out on the mat.

 

This is my Gi match for the gold medal.

 

I had two Nogi matches for this tournament. This is my first Nogi match.

 

This is my Nogi match for the gold medal. I submitted a 17 year who wrestles on a high school wrestling team with an armbar from a mounted triangle for the gold medal.
