Hey JW. Have a great time while ya'll are there and wish your guys luck for me.
Aren't the Arnolds very restrictive with leglock use? What are the specifics about that?

I'd rather be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

I'll send vince a pic of me and the gi with the logo's there very cool. And leglocks are very restricted but at white belt you have basic ankle lock.(which is still ok for white belts, I have all my guys drilling this hard. ) blue belt footlock is ok ,purple same, and brown and black are free for all. So I hope to take someones foot home with me as a gift:) we'll see some pretty tough brown belts out there.

Well guys back from the Arnolds and had a great time , Watched the Gracie Fighting challange NHB show Friday. Which was very well done and had some top notch fighters, Linland , wes sims, daneil gracie. Chris brennen, sholin rebiero... great fights . Also Got to meet , Randy coutore, Don frye , Stephen bonnor , joe riggs and just a bunch of other cool guys.. (don is the man thats all I can say what a funny guy)
The gi event sat , went pretty normal , Reported at 8am was supposed to fight at 9- I fought at 3pm,, My last guy got off the mat at 1am .. 17hours for a bjj tourny d**n... I had a good match only 4 guys in my div and one is a buddy so win or lose I would have only had 1 match . Match started with me in open gaurd, looking to sweep or take a leg, after 4 min I took a footlock and Really put it on hard .. the guys foot really sounded bad... I couldnt believe he didnt tap pretty slow match looked for a sweep and the guy pa*sed gaurd, I reversed postion pa*sed 1 leg moving to mount and time expired. so close Loser 3-2 d**n..Felt good for first brown belt match.
As far as my guys Big brian Gold in Super Heavy James wade Gold in Heavy Lanky Mike Broze in light heavy Little mark ,and big mark place 4th in there div... Some of these div had 40 people per bracket so one of my guys ,one 3 matchs and didnt make it to the final 4 wow ... Big congrats to everybody who went ,, good job team grappling concepts!!!!! Rmata Represent!!!!!

JW,
I'm glad you had a good time and way to go compete. Congrats to you and all your guys.
Did you by chance meet an old Marine buddy of mine named Mark Cooper? He called me on the phone while he was at the same event and I told him to find you and say hi.
