He and his twin both are awesome athletes and fierce competitors.

@@2717watt MHM They are! So is they're sister! im hoping to compete on Oct 19th do u have any tips for me (im new at competition)

@@1Get-Lost1 Get as many 80% to 90% rolls as possible. Find a partner that you can work on technique outside of normal practice (especially defense and escapes).

Thank u

Dad writing.... He is an MMA kid that just loves wrestling. He loves it but uses to better his mma. Georgia's wrestling season ends in Febuary. Then it will be back to striking and grappling (bjj). Over the summer expect alot more boxing and Muai Thai / Kickboxing videos as this is where he wants to work more on. I'm sure more mma and probably a few jiu jitsu videos mixed in as well. Disclaimer: Jiu Jitsu has a very large void in competition the higher in experience a kid goes. Mixed that with Kaleb being on the smaller end of his age chart and its hard to find viable tournaments. It's sucks to fork out over $100 to drive 3plus hours for maybe 1 or 2 competitors.

@darkmist7734 She still trains but the same with her finding tournaments worth her drive. She has taken up the drums and I will post her KZbin account. Talented young lady

​@@2717watt i see, man how time flies 😓, just kinda felt bad for him ever since he lost that first tournament with her, no offense.

​@@2717watt Nevertheless, it is good to see them both pursuing their passions.

That kid is from Arkansas and is currently the 8th ranked kid in AGF out of 23,671 athletes. Kaleb was also 73 pounds fighting 85 and under. (vs 75 and under) This match put Kaleb out of his Gi brackets. He tweaked his wrist and couldn't squeeze. He is better now but still sore.

@@2717watt 8th out of over 20k sounds ultra impressive! What rank is Kaleb? Sorry about the wrist. How did he hurt it? Perhaps he would have won that match otherwise

@ChrisPT The kid legit fought off Kalebs Anaconda choke attempt which is where Kaleb stressed his wrist. Kaleb is 87th ranked in AGF. Partly due to lack of matches and partly due to always fighting up in weight or age which has given him a few losses.

@@2717watt Thanks for explaining 👍 Unlucky I guess. 87th still sounds very impressive though. I assume strength and conditioning becomes more important as weights get higher.

He is. He is sponsored by AGF so he competes almost every weekend

@@2717watt Sounds like a great life if you love grappling. Also I suppose the only way to get good competition in some cases. I imagine for top level kids that size, they'd beat most beginners easily for example up to 100 pounds

@ChrisPT Yes. My son is 75 pounds and 11 years old. Unless puberty has set in deep, he can handle around a 3 year 35 pound handicap for new kids. The older they are the faster they catch on and eventually stalemate my son. It takes a while before they can submit him. This is pretty standard for all kids and gyms.

@@2717watt Useful to know thanks, and fits with my admittedly more limited experience - haven't trained with an expert kid under 13. Although I've been working with a 7 year old who is already 70 pounds, as tall as a 10/11 year old, and is a gymnast. His grip strength on a dynamometer is 45 pounds, almost as much as a 13 year old footballer I also train (50 pounds). He made my neck hurt for 3 days just by holding seatbelt position extra tight. So I can see how some large age/size difference upsets are possible.

If you have instagram here is the highlight of the 10th planet kid instagram.com/reel/CvEZztxMNbc/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

​@@2717watt thanks - I don't have Instagram but the link actually still worked and I saw the video. Jealous of kids flexibility haha. A worthy opponent for sure

Thanks and part of sharing these videos is to help bring more kids to the sport.

@@2717watt That's fantastic. Thank you

Did you catch the other video of these 2? Both very evenly matched contests. The kid in this video from 10th Planet also hit a sick "Hindu Ninja" against another opponent. It's a crazy move

@@2717watt appreciate the heads up will definitely have a look later when I have some more time

No. We haven't been actively competing since Wrestling season was every Saturday and then he started getting ready for Nationals. He will get a few BJJ tournaments between now and November.

Care to share which "region" you are from?

@@2717watt SoCal where it is crazy competitive. No disrespect, just surprising to see.

@RyanAttack872 The 1 in the white gi trains with 2 IBJJF Pans champions and he holds his own. He has been training since the day he turned 4. He's even tapped a few Cali boys in youth MMA tournaments. There are definitely hot spots and SoCal is one

Towards the end of the match the score was 13 to 12. Not feeling Kaleb could get a pin in time his coach told him to cut loose which gave the other kid a point which made it 14 to 12. Kaleb tried a shot but was too exhausted and the other kid just rode the period out. He has been frustrated in practice and slapped a few moves on people.

Stay at it. You will not regret it.

Extremely proud of his hard work and dedication to what he loves. Thank you so much for commenting and joining us on his journey.

Do you comment on the harm of blue light to every parent that let's their child exist in an alternate reality?

@@2717watt It is quite a different story since it will not cause any trauma on your brain.
