Congrats!

Those wrestlers are a hand full and I always try and wait for the awesome double leg and do anything it takes to get them in guard.

We had a few competitors there and took 2nd overall. Not me though as I was just training at home.

You win or you learn and competing is a huge victory in and of itself.

OSS!

Thanks @zekepickleman!

Wrestlers have been my weakness pretty much since my first roll with one! This guy seemed to force me into a guard pull before I was ready to hit it. He was working all the right angles to keep me from closing my guard. I was most surprised by how fast the 5 minutes were up. I feel like if I had more time I would have gotten to him eventually. Luckily there are some sub-only tournaments coming my way early next year.

Congrats on your team getting 2nd! That's hard to do with GF Team and SAS always sending 30+ competitors.
