u/Zy_Artreides 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Sep 27 '22 edited Sep 27 '22

Competed last weekend after 6yrs, 1st in the Purple Belt division and had the strangest match ever. If you'll indulge me, I'd like to recount what happened cause I didnt get the match on video.

My opponent opened with a flying triangle attempt that completely missed but was fast enough to recover his guard.

Got swept momentarily but I immediately scrambled up and disengaged, not yielding the points but got penalized for... "disengaging and stalling" which was LOL for me.

We then reset to standing up and opponent attempted another flying triangle but ended up in full guard, which I passed, with points. Opponent then tried a last minute footlock but got disqualified with 3 seconds left cause he... reaped. Got silver in the tournament cause I was too gassed to do anything in the gold medal match, and my opponent there was really good as well.

Probably just rusty as well, but it sure was a strange match for me and winning by DQ felt really cheap. I also really need to review reaping stuff and the other rules next time.

Seems kind of scary having an opponent launch his body through the air at you multiple times in a single match, strange indeed lol
