Grappling Record

I’ve decided to try to compile my grappling record.  I am going to list them by BJJ rank and year.  There’s only white belt LOL (6 year white belt is fairly pathetic). Even though I can’t remember everyone’s name, I remember every match clearly.  That’s one of the things that’s so cool about Jiu-Jitsu/grappling.  You remember the smallest details.  Just not important stuff like names…

White Belt: Wins 18 – Losses 45 - Draws 1 - No Contest 1

• GAMMA August 18, 2007 Nogi Match 1 win (points): This was my first ever grappling match.  I was pretty nervous stepping on to the mats.  Man, it was exhausting.  Basically the whole thing is a take down match.  I have since learned to get it to the ground much more quickly.  If you notice there is a break in the video where everyone rushes over to me, I went head first in to a pillar and got KOd.  Still got up and finished the match.  I told the ref that I didn’t lose consciousness when I regained my faculties.
• GAMMA August 18, 2007 Nogi March 2 loss (arm triangle): That was one big and strong son-of-a-bitch!  Take the obvious strength advantage and combine it with the concussion I received in the first match, and you will see I had no chance at all.  Walked away with the bronze for the tourney.
• Tri-Star May 11, 2008 Nogi Match 1 win (points): I did pretty good here.  Quality take down and some good body control.  I didn’t have too many submissions in my repertoire at this point.  Too bad.  There were lots of opportunities.
• Tri-Star May 11, 2008 Nogi Match 2 loss (rear naked choke): Pretty poor showing.  I remember that the choke happened so fast.  This guy was really strong as well.
• Tri-Star May 11, 2008 Nogi Match 3 loss (arm bar): This was the first match of the absolute division.  This guy was a new purple belt.  Handled me pretty easily.
• Speedy Gym May 25, 2008 Nogi Match 1 win (armbar): Didn’t get video of the whole match.  It went pretty quick.  This was a teammate of mine.
• Speedy Gym May 25, 2008 Nogi Match 2 win (armbar): This match should not have lasted as long as it did.  I look like a lumbering fool.  The outcome was good though… Aside from a sore eye…
• Speedy Gym May 25, 2008 Nogi Match 3 draw: Good match.  It was a submission only round robin tourney, so going the distance resulted in a draw.  Should have got my hooks in sooner…
  
• Speedy Gym May 25, 2008 Nogi Match 4 loss (Kimura): Awesome wrestler!
• Speedy Gym May 25, 2008 Nogi Match 5 loss (headlock?): I don’t know what the hell happened here.  SUCKED!
• Speedy Gym May 25, 2008 Nogi Match 6 loss (americana): How could I hope to defeat this giant?
• GAMMA July 24, 2008 Nogi loss (toe hold): I was pretty much on the defense the entire match.  Got out of a few good submission attempts. Ultimately I had to tap.
• Grizzly Gym vs Quebec Toe Hold Club November 9, 2008 Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 win (pin): This was a catch wrestling match with 3 rounds.  You had to win 2 out of 3 by submission or pin.  If there was no winner after 3 rounds, it was declared a draw.  No points involved whatsoever.  It was pretty back and forth.  Man I was fat!
• Grizzly Gym vs Quebec Toe Hold Club November 9, 2008 Round 1 Round 2 loss (sleeve chokes): This guy is awesome.  I’ve trained with him a number of times.  I knew I didn’t have a chance.
• Club Kozak November 29, 2008 loss (injury – shoulder dislocate / pec tear):  I have no video for this match.  I was doing well.  I got the take down and controlled position.  I was threatening with submissions.  Next thing I know, during a sweep attempt, my shoulder pops out and my left pec tares.  Talk about pain!

• Grizzly Gym Canadian Pankration November 15, 2009 Match 4 loss (Ankle Lock): This little guy’s team was right.  It’s technique, not strength.

• Montreal Grappling August 20, 2012 Nogi Match 2 loss (armbar): This guy won the division.  He was very strong.

• Montreal Grappling August 20, 2012 Gi Match 1 loss (points): My first ever gi tournament.  I have to say I felt like a fish out of water.  I didn’t know what to do.  At this point, training in a gi had been very limited.
• Montreal Grappling August 20, 2012 Gi Match 2 loss (armbar):  What can I say?  I lost.
• Montreal Grappling August 20, 2012 Gi Match 3 loss (sleeve Choke): I really had nothing left at this point in the day.  This guy was a monster and it was only a matter of time.

• Montreal Grappling September 15, 2012 Nogi Match 2 loss (Kimura): Winner of the division.  He was a very strong wrestler.  I didn’t have much of a chance.
• Montreal Grappling September 15, 2012 Nogi Match 3 loss (Kimura): No video of this match.  I didn’t tap but the ref stopped it because he knew that I had been kimuraed pretty hard in match 1 on this shoulder.
• Montreal Grappling September 15, 2012 Nogi Match 4 loss (triangle): I wasn’t a challenge for my opponent.  I feel embarrassed for him. lol
• Montreal Grappling November 10, 2012 Nogi Match 1 loss (guillotine): I was feeling confident going in to this match, but ultimately my poor skills let me down.
• Montreal Grappling November 10, 2012 Nogi Match 2 loss (points): I was dominated here but managed to hold off the triangle.
• Montreal Grappling November 10, 2012 Nogi Match 3 loss (ankle lock): This guy was an asshole.  I saw him warming up by practicing foot stomps.  He didn’t release the ankle lock right away.  His excuse was he didn’t think a verbal submission counted.  Fortunately his should was injured in his next match. 
• Montreal Grappling November 10, 2012 Nogi Match 4 loss (DQ leg reap): Dominated in every way here.  I accidentally reaped the leg so I was disqualified.

• Ascension Championships January 19, 2013 Match 1 win (points): This was the first round match.  There were plenty of times that I think I should have had points.  I controlled several positions like the back and side control.  I also had a good take down.  The match ended 0-0 with 1 advantage to me… I should have submitted this guy.
• Ascension Championships January 19, 2013 Match 2 win (points): Very strong opponent for the semis.  I received an advantage for an attempted soto gari.  He also got an advantage for something but then had a penalty point for stalling.  Ended 0-0 with 1 advantage each and a penalty to him.
• Ascension Championships January 19, 2013 Match 3 win (Americana): I’d had enough of the advantages.  Seemed the ref wasn’t giving out points very easily. I pulled half guard, kimura swept and then hit the Amaricana for the GOLD MEDAL!!!
