I'm guess the US Open is a major, highly competitive, tournament. Can you fill in the details on that?

It is one of the bigger tournaments, but short of the Pan Ams and Worlds there is just not a large pool of brown belt competitors in the US, so that's why there was only one guy in the division. It is a reasonably sized tournament especially at purple and bellow. It's one of the longest running US BJJ tourneys, this year being it's 12 year. It has, also, for the last three years featured a brown belt, black belt team challenge which has a cash prize and draws in some high world class black belts.

Great match. My style is called Vee-Jitsu and we roll the same way. It aint easy. Even one match can drain your energy because, although to an observer it does not look like a lot of excursion, it sure is. Keep training and good luck.
Thanks,

Actually, this is not the same event. The event I'm talking about is the one under the IBJJF, the biggest governing organization for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Oh, ok. I think the U.S. Open that I'm talking about does have a Jiu Jitsu division. Thats why I thought you were referring to that U.S. Open.
Congratz on your win.

Ybot,
Congrats dude, very nice. Can you explain what guard pass you were attempting in the beginning when you were up on both feet but still sitting?

I believe that in the part you were referring to I was just trying to stand with good posture, but he had tight grips and was pulling hard, and I choose to stay down rather than standing all the way up and losing posture.
