Since then I've come a long way in skills and experience, winning my next two tournments in white belt category, both in BJJ and grappling. (the BJJ one I had only one adversary in my category, so there wasn't much merit). Anyways, for anybody who is curious, here are the ''finals'' from both. If you compare it to the video in the first blog entry, I think I've definately improved.

Oddly enough I'm at my best in the open/spider guard.

I agree with Bitter. Used your hips and maybe going for a high closed guard, or possibly switching into an open guard is definitely a good transition esp. considering your opponent in 1st video kept some good base. Definitely a good job though, keep it up.
Nice dude, I always wanted to learn BJJ myself. Didn't catch your first post, but seeing what you learned in 4month, I am quite impressed. Nice job dude!
