Thought I'd post a vid of me.... losing:(

This is the only video I really have of me grappling. This was at the US Open X in Santa Cruz last year. I'm the guy in white. Not a terrible match, but I souldn't have lost, I just got caught. Great job to Steve Cabana from Seattle.

That was a really great match. The other guy got a break. It could have easily gone the other way though...as you had good position for a good amount of time.

Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff.

That was a tremendous match. You should feel good about it. I saw nothing wrong with it. Somebody once told me that you learn more from a loss than a win. I always hated losing, however that was a phenominal match. You are to be congratulated. Afterall you did not lose by a novice.

Thanks for the encouragement. This same tournament is comming up soon, and the plan is, if I can get the weekend off from work, to compete again.

I've really worked on my top control since that tournament. I really feel like the match slipped away because I couldn't get good control from the side. If I can go I'll post an updated match or two afterwards, hopefully winning this time.

I'm on dialup so I'm still waiting for the rest of it to load. However; great job! You have great heart in both competing in such an Open AND to post a video of yourself! I have a feeling you're going to be a great asset to Martial Talk!

BTW, folks who liked the video, don't forget you can rate it (five stars!) on Youtube.

Perhaps it was the guy in black standing on the corner or my computer was going fuzzy, but why did you lose? I thought you had more control time and great escapes. Was there a tap out I missed? Whatever happened, your a winner with the folks at MT. Great match. :asian:

He got caught in a triangle armbar right at the end.
