Dear.thejoker
I took a Shidoshi exam 2 days ago. but I failed. I can not compete best of the west.....I was rolling Master Shidoshi S, he said : your tech is so rough, I can not give you certificate..
I think you are very good at no-gi tournament, you can beat everybody !! and will see real troll guard.
Good Luck thejoker.

use the 2 new troll guard moves we were discussing.
and hungry grappler, the iron palm is frowned upon by the sun and moon systems. remember to power breathe, inhale through nose, exhale out the back.

LOL at Sato and Shidoshi.. The address is
Long Beach City College
4901 East Carson St.
Long Beach, CA 90808
Its a little bit of a drive but not too bad.. there will be alot of big names and some tough guys there. Last year was alot of fun. So I guess its me and Johnny K? Hopefully I will not need to use troll guard, but I will not hesitate if pushed.

It says we will start no earlier than 4pm.. of course that could me 5 o clock or 4 on the dot. Someone double check for me though so I know Im not crazy. go to www.grapplingtournaments.com and click best of the west. Scroll down to times. Im in the adult intermediate. That site is terribly put together imo. |

Kick ass guys, I am very sorry, but I will be unable to attend either event, which makes me super sad. But I will gather any positive chi from within and send it your way.

I could not find time schedule but I will be there at 4pm.
I think I can go Sharman Oaks first, after that I can make it.
Good Luck for all HBJJ competitor !!

Looks like I am competing in the old folks division instead and it starts at 10am.. I just turned 30 and this tourney is not like others where they let you pick adult or executive. I dont expect anyone to get up that early to come watch so dont sweat it if you cant make it!

So you are going to start at 10:00am? I still want to go to see your FIGHT !
Are you sure ? Is that a right devision?

Sifu Sato, yes thats the right division. Because I turned 30 I have to compete in that division, the only way i could have stayed in the adult division is if I lied on the form about my birthday which I didnt want to do. Not sure what to expect but Im sure it will be a tough division either way! Id love to see you there but dont worry about it if its too early. I will be there all day to watch the others too.
