Training Partners! Class tonight!!

So....today class was pretty awesome as usual. I ate a turkey sandwich before I went and didnt really hydrate all that well....not good on taking care of myself today. BUT during class I worked some KOB (Knee on Belly) positions and shot some submissions from there. We also worked on preventing the double underpass after guard is broken. I got a couple DVD's so that I can work on Tornado guard stuff. Ty Cyborg!!! Lol, he is awesome. During the competition class though, I rolled with one of my training partners, one that I usually stay away from due to his brute force tactics.  We were supposed to be drilling some back mount escapes. It was almost like a game....you take my back...you win....I recover guard/half guard...i win. He got super aggressive when I kept getting guard back, and when I asked him to chill a little he said "Nope, not gonna happen, I practice like I compete." Was kind of aggravating cuz I have another tournament in less than 2 weeks, and the last thing I need is to get hurt IN THE GYM, BY A TRAINING PARTNER....childish. There is a lesson here, stay away from people who are going to hurt you, or aren't willing to learn and just want to "Win". Remember you can "win"  even when you "lose". Really comes down to what you end up taking away from the experience.

Btw, thought I would give you guys a glimpse of our team!! Team Alvarez... this is just the adults!

Btw, this pic here is at our last belt test!! Will put some more up soon!!

Oh and btw, I had a tournament this past Saturday. I competed in a smaller tournament called Evolve Grappling Tournament. Several of my Oh and btw, I had a tournament this past Saturday. I competed in a smaller tournament called Evolve Grappling Tournament. Several of my team mates did as well! I will be putting up videos and pictures from my matches as well as some of our team! I competed in no-gi , as well as gi. Since the tournament was so small, they combined my weight class with the one above. I only had 4 matches, but I won them all!! 3/4 were by submission. As you will see, they were all armbars :D. This one was in preparation for ADCC coming up on the 20th. It is a no-gi only that I will explain more about as it gets closer.. My back was hurt at this last tourney , so I wasn't as aggressive as I had planned on being. Ah well, I will update again after practice tonight. I have normal practice, as well competition class!!

Here are some pics , not many lol from the tourney.

There were only 2 of us in this division, so we had best 2/3, in the end, we are both winners!!!

The team, that is me looking like a tool in the back.
