I GOT THROWN AROUND IN THE ABSOLUTE DIVISION!!! (w/commentary)

[@trentmichaels7170]

As a guy who competed at ultra heavy in my first year I learned to NEVER underestimate the smaller guy. Had a guy in an absolute who I outweighed by a good 100lbs double leg me from go, grapevined my legs and held on for dear life. I could not for the life of me scrape him off. That was a humbling and frustrating way to lose but it taught me a lesson. Keep doing these absolutes and keep humbling these big guys. You're doing us a favor.

[@chrisstephens3196]

I like watching white belt matches because I’m a white belt and it helps to see what others are doing. It’s more practical. Black belt matches are fun, but they’re doing things I can’t or in situations I’ll never be in.

"I do not want to get caught under a big guy." *Proceeds to pull guard on heavy weight big boy* Good rolling, lol.

[@griffinmaathuis9423]

I mean sprawled on hahaha

[@KenTheJr]

yeah. pulling guard and maintaining shield is fine. once his weight is on you life sucks.

[@Mayral999]

I guess it's not getting caught if you get there on your own🤪😂

[@locumania]

It's the commentaries that make the difference 🔥🔥. I'm able to understand the why of every move.

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

keep making these vids man, great stuff

[@TheJiuJitsuKid]

A 2 time national champ wrestler in a white belt tourney is crazy to me

[@ShawnOConnor350]

Great Comp!, I like how you handled the guy that was bigger than you. Keep it up.

[@ericpittman6962]

How is a two time wrestling champion allowed to compete as a white belt?

[@Konr4dR]

Your Gi isn't too short? how did you passed Gi checkup before tournament? In the other hand, guy in the first round has way too long Gi

[@joshuaocasio8811]

You did amazing brother

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

hell yeah bro, take on the bigger guys and push your game on them. I do the same. Respect!

[@RyanJuliano]

Love the videos man. Keep up the good work! Have my first tournament coming up soon (also a white belt). Gonna post a vid about it as well!

[@MichaelMartinez-fq9ic]

How'd it go?

[@steveb9525]

Damn you are the man!

[@KenTheJr]

straight ankle lock is fine in gi for white belts.

[@foxdaledigital]

Great content! I'm getting ready to compete for my first time. Could you tell us how many days a week (minimum) you would suggest going to class to get the stamina for a tournament. I'm working full time with a family and I'm going 3-4 days/week.

[@griffinmaathuis9423]

Should go as much as you feasibly can in my opinion! The real stamina comes from staying relaxed and calm in the moment. Compete how you train basically

[@karlv65]

How is that last guy a white belt?

[@marceloestephan1672]

You are very skilled.

[@marcwilliams6076]

Thank you. Learnt alot from your commentary.👍

[@griffinmaathuis9423]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aaronc7778]

good shit bro I needa compete again.

[@JonnyNonsenseUK]

The last dude you fought in the gi really did not seem white belt level to me. Seems like sandbagging.

[@atmon8840]

good luck armbaring me u wont get it bro....white belt badass hahahaha made me cackle 😂

[@anderandersson5229]

Was the crucifix allowed in this tournament?

[@griffinmaathuis9423]

Honestly not even sure haha

[@erickandtheourbacks1072]

Love your content new subscriber… size does matter in bjj but not in ping pong 🏓

[@Mark-gi4tp]

Round 1....Coyote Guard is your friend

[@capicornboss]

Oss 🤙🏿

[@j.rivera6402]

This is the guy I’d hold a submission on after he taps. Dude was a super dirty grappler. Glad you came out on top.

[@MadparkWorld]

Dude’s been rolling for years and still showing up at white belt tournaments 🙄

[@Raaaazledazzle]

He’s not a white belt

[@real_mrmime9617]

oh hes a white belt alright. ZERO passing game

[@honorylealtad5596]

What a Puzzli pulling guard like that. Coward's move. Disrespecting Real Jiu JITSU.

[@awesomeaxiegameplays7296]

Nice
