Got back from Pan Ams

[rado]

Got DQ'd in the qtr finals for reaping the knee. If you don't know what it is, google it. It's actually a quite dangerous position for your opponent to be in and I honestly did not do it purposely; just heat in the moment...Lesson learned.


Had some good rolls, met some of the best of the world. My team Alliance? Well they speak for themselves. We killed it overall.

My reaping of the knee(and I'm quite aware of it and how dangerous it puts your opponent in it), was certainly devastating for me. I was doing great up until then. We were 3mns into the match and basically playing dominance for foot work and I fucked up, plain and simple.

Reaping of someones knee is no joking matter. Those judges jump in like the UFC judges jump in because if your opponent moves or decides to fight against it, boom..There goes their knee.

Looking forward to some other comps in Chicago and here in Ohio.

We had a total of 17 people in my bracket which seemed little, but pissed at myself for thinking ahead when BJJ is like chess; think before you move.

Oh well. Had an amazing time while I won a few matches(baseball choke and 5-2 decision).

I will take this as a learning lesson and move on. Well worth the money spent and all the training. I will continue to train:)

Where was it ohio?

Is reaping the knee dangerous? I'm not clear on that.

[Mr I]

Not trying to be an ass bro, but stfu!

You have no clue what you're talking about and this mistake/loss means a lot to me. Very simple, yet quick mistake to make. It has happen to best of the world and even lower belts.

When you put so much preparation into this kind of a comp and I fuck up because I wasn't planning ahead, it hurts. My next is Chicago maybe some grappler quests. Pan Ams is like the Worlds where I actually placed in Gi and No Gi in my division and the absolute.

It's very dangerous, about as dangerous as a neck crank. I'm not kidding; the ref flies in on you like the UFC when you position yourself this way. However, it's also very tricky because it can happen at anytime and not know it. Your opponent can also set you up for it.

[Mr I]

I asked where it was because I have freinds I used to train BJJ with who are out in vegas now but not sure if its MMA

Not mad bro. Just bothered that I got myself caught into the moment and I know better being a purple. But if you do you youtube search on reaping the knee in bjj....You will see some of the best in the world have been caught doing it, whether on purpose or not.

It's basically where I lock your knee/hips and if you move while I stay stationary, your knee would pop; that simple and also illegal which I find BS. Because in BJJ we literally have thousands of move that are very dangerous but reason this movie is illegal is because it's a sneaky yet easy set up to fuck someone up and to be quite honest. You can't defend reaping of the knee, you can defend just about everything else.

Man fuck you.

Bro its really not something to joke about.

Just like your nose.

Rocket and Turbo would understand I think.
