So after nearly 5 months out with a torn ac joint I was ready to get back into training and doing a few competitions. After hearing there was a no gi competition in Leeds I thought I'd give it a go despite the fact that I'd only been back training 4 weeks and we have stopped doing no gi at the forge at present. I didn't decide till the day before to defiantly enter and this showed in my matches as having not practiced for no gi my rustiness was there to see. My matches didn't go as I had hoped losing my first by guillotine choke and second by an electric chair submission, something that I don't think anyone has even tried to get on me before. I'll have to find some more Eddie bravo fans to train with!. I was out of practice for no gi losing grip and control more often as I have become accustomed to the kimono and the advantages it gives you in these areas. I was surprised at the amount of matches decided by guillotine choke as I only train in gi at the moment its not a submission I often go for or one that people attempt on me I noticed one guy in the under 80kg who won his category win 4 matches by way of guillotine, its a move I'll work on offensively and defensively before the next comp as well as my all round no gi game, I don't think there were any major flaws I was just showing a lack of time rolling without the gi and a poor tactical decision in my first match which led to me being subbed. It was a well organized event and run well, the event started at 12 and was all done by 4. So well done to the guys running it. Looking forward to doing the next one. As I expect with extra mat time training I'll improve my performance.
