We split the class into two groups after a quick warm-up. This was pretty cool as the newer guys were learning about tournament rules and scoring etc. We instead went through a series starting with reverse dlr to inverted back take to reverse x-guard and ending with butterfly. I have a lot of fun working on a lot of this stuff and I seem to pick it up pretty fast.
At the end of class we did some tournament matches and I rolled with Adam first. It was pretty difficult but I surprised myself by maintaining guard. He scored the takedown right off the bat and kept the top position for the rest of the time. There were a couple of times when I went to spider and lasso guard and I almost had a half guard sweep but in the end he beat me on points.
For my second match I went up against Tate. I decided to go for broke and try a kneeling shoulder throw off the bat and I pulled it off. That was the highlight as the rest of the match consisted of me trying to pass his guard, being in his back mount for a while and almost getting triangled. We had some pretty good scrambles. Can't wait until tomorrow. I don't know who I will be going up against but I'll just try my best to do my thing.
