Chriso's report on Matt Coopers open (brisbane)
Here are the details about the tourny.
First up was conan in the 88-98kg white belt/beginers gi division,his
first oppenent was a white belt 4 stripes from a bris bjj school,straight
of the bat conan pulled gaurd,it was a great match with lots of transitions
but conan never looked in trouble and keeped control the entire match,he
won 12-3 on points and advanced to the next round.His next opponent had
only been training for a few months,conan easily took him down mounted him
and taped him with a cuff & sleave choke,with that win conan had won his
first ever bjj event.
Next up was me in the77-87kg blue belt/intermediate gi div,my first
opponent was blue belt 1 stripe from the same school as conans first opp.It
was a really hard match which dispite my best efforts stayed on our feet
for a couple of min until i got a single leg trip and ended up in half
gaurd,he eventually got full gaurd,then i managed to get my old faithful
pin his arm behind his back guard pass,i got to half guard and applied an
absolute monsterous forearm choke but as most people that day he refused to
tap.after another few min of guard work it went back to our feet were it
finished off,i won (just) 2-0 and advanced to the next round.
My next opponent was a tall bit of gear also from bris (who i just saw
distroy the guy i just wrestled),he came out fast and strong trying various
take downs and throws,after a breif scramble he was on his back with open
guard,i passed (easily,all the practice with stu guard paid off) and got
mount,i slowed down and maintaned control before applying my favorate move
the head arm choke,i won with the tapout and managed to win my first comp
at blue belt level.
Next up was no gi submission wrestling,conan went first against a very
skilled guy from a mma school in bris, conan shot in imediatly but was
stoped with a good sprawl,put on his back and tapped with a head arm
choke,that was the only person in the division so that was the end of
conans day,he did exstreamly well and walked away with a first and a second
in his very first comp.
I was on next but with the lack of competitors in my division all the
guys from the blue belt division went in together,My first opponent was a
bjj blue belt 1 stripe from a mma club in bris,we felt each other out for a
bit before we ended on the ground with me in his half guard,after a few
attemps i passed to side then north/south trying for the kimira which he
defended well,i was able to get his back from there and apply a body
triangle and rear naked choke forcing the tapout.
My next opponent was a no gi guy from bris, he was much lighter than
me(around 72-75kg) but he made up for it with flexability and will,he shot
in on me straight away and i was able to sprawl and apply the meanest
anaconda choke ever and rolled to finish it off,we rolled off the mat and
after a breif restart(same posi) i tried to finished with all my
streagth(bad idea,didnt have choke deep enough) he got out pulled guard and
started attacking,after many scrambles i managed to get mount 4 points but
could not finish,he escaped, more scrambling with him getting 2 "takedowns"
at 2 points a peice finishing the 6 min regulation time a draw.Needless to
say i was spewing and stupidly tired but we had to go 3 more min to get a
winner.I started off very slow but somehow managed to get his back getting
4 points,he escaped turning into my guard where i held on for dear life
untill i was warned(stalling),i went for a last all out applying a
triangle, falling short,but getting on top from it where time ran out, i
managed to hold on to win 4-0 and win my first ever no gi comp.
A few exra things of note,there was around 50-60 competitors men &
woman,3-4 main clubs,vincent perrys,2 bjj schools from bris & a mma school
also from bris.This was the bris area warm up for melbourne
nationals,weights went from 60kg-99kg&over,it was held at whitehall college
bris
Hope you enjoy my little - Chriso
