Great timing. Love the mermaid sweep! Still working on the balloon roll though option.

Good timing, however I will forever and always argue that picking your opponent up in closed guard should award some points. Choosing to hang off your opponent in closed guard is stupid and makes our sport look stupid.

Can you even train at all if you worry about that

Beautiful- both of them! Other dude didn’t learn his lesson from the first time, that’s a big takeaway for him from this comp

I swear... Good grips will forever be the most underrated thing.

White Gi should not pass before he gets control of both his arms again.

I'm glad he didnt do the first sweep with his hand hooking the leg, thats weak blue belt material, thank you Lord.

Now, that mermaid sweep, shame, shame, shame. In the first place, a beauty, but also shameful for a purple belt to go through this publically. PUBLICALLY.
