So on Saturday the 26th of September I (Jeff) participated in my very first Jiu Jitsu Tournament. I have to admit it was fun and didn't feel too nervous until I actually got to the tournament. I was entered into the heavy weight division yeah I know shocker.
I actually did pretty well in my weight division I won first place. It ended up being a round robin style tournament cause well only three people showed up(in my weight class). Well we all went 1-1 But because I scored the most points out of the three of us I won my weight division.
Then came the open weight division which ended up being a double elimination tournament. I lost my first match there but came back and ended up taking third place. It wasn't pretty and looking back at the tape of my matches I made some mistakes which thankfully my size did make up for. (open weight means there is no weight limit so little guys roll against big guys it happens) Anyways I had a lot of fun and thanks to my team and instructor I was able to enjoy a small amount of success. Team San Jose Boxing and fitness did amazing I am pretty sure everyone got a medal so good job guys I am proud of us. Here are some pictures and videos from the tournament like I said not pretty but successful.
Win #1 Heavy weight division
Win #2 open weight division
Win #3 open weight division
