This was a very tough year in my bjj journey. Coming back to competitions, the season started pretty bad. In my first event i was destroyed in 3 minutes by an arrow choke.

reference: arrow choke

the next stop was a little better. i got matched versus and ex team member and the fight didnt go that well. I ended up losing 11-0 after falling for an ankle pic and the getting my guard passed, knee on belly and getting mounted. It was awful but hey!... at least i didnt tap.

Finally, today was the last tournament of the year and i can say that i won a match. The goal that i had come up with was acomplished and it felt good, not as much i had think but good. After that i realise that i wanted to win all... one victory wasnt enough now. btw, i won the match 2-0. i got the points when my oponent tried to pull guard, i ended in his half guard and tried to pass and came really close to do it but somehow he recovered and i got stuck in his close guard. The time went on and i couldnt pass him and also i didnt want to risk a sweep so i defended the position for like 1:30 min. From time to time i tried to open his guard but he was really active and it was too dangerous.

reference: passing half guard

The second match.... that second match guys... i could have won it. I lost 2-0 after being "ahead" for like 4 minutes. My oponent tried to do a throw and i defended and went to his back. I kept control in that position moving around no letting him recover. I got one hook in but he defended the second hook with his life... i was soooo close a couple of time but i couldnt complete the position.
After that and with like to minutes in the clock my oponent manage to get up and throw me, i pulled guard buy couldnt do anything to get the points i needed to win. The funny thing is that i wasnt mad... i was laughing with my oponent after the nice throw he did.

reference: back mount... you need both of your feet "in" like in the picture to get the points

well... progress is progress, maybe next year i can get in the podium or even better, defeat one of the top guys.

i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

once you get used is not that bad but if you want to "keep up" with the best you need to train as much as them and that is hard.
