Spring Z Meet [Date/Time/Location TBD]

Jjaden

naw, I had the option of getting some tickets but passed. I'm not impressed at all the by the card the UFC is only getting away with it because they have GSP headlining.

I have trouble supporting a company that I feel is exploiting the fans. This is how I feel about the UFC these days, they put out way too many cards mostly filled with crappy fights.

It's also turned into the Ultimate Wrestling Federation where a takedown counts as more than a knockdown. I don't think shooting for a takedown and then lying on a guy and accomplishing nothing merits being rewarded and lately the UFC has consisted of wrestling matches with the occasional knockout here and there.

Will be competing in a BJJ tourney in May, and looking to have another MMA fight this summer.

Looking forward to the meet and I hope you have a great time at the UFC Tom..

Tickets were free
otherwise i probably wouldnt pay anyways, too much money
but looking forward to it, hopefully it doesnt turn into a wrestling mtch, especially the GSP fight, he has something to prove

Adam , would be good to come see you compete, let us know where/when...

Jjaden

Hard to argue with free tickets, nice!

Yup GSP is frustrating because he has all the tools to KTFO of anyone at 170 but usually chooses to play it safe. I guess you can't fault him as long as he keeps winning but it's not what the fans want, and not like he isn't capable of annihilating his opponents.

Will fire a heads up when I have confirmed dates but the BJJ Tourney I'm looking at will Ontario Kombat Classic May 28-29

I'm going to do Gi and No-Gi but I warn you, BJJ matches can be super boring if one of the guys involved just stalls all match and goes for position. I always go for the sub and slams to try and make things exciting...

Pharmacist

I'm pretty sure slamming is illegal in almost all tournaments in BJJ, and I've seen many guys disqualified for it. What belt do you have and how long you been training?

I have no problem being disqualified from a tourney for being exciting and trying to finish. Far too many people grapple for 'advantage' and superior position, which often means getting in your grips, trying to get on top and holding on for dear life.

Belts are used for holding up pants, anyone who judges a person's ability by the colour of their belt is a fool, no offense intended.

My third month training I began to regularly sub blue belts and I have subbed brown and purple belts regularly in training while I was a white belt as well. This was out of BAMA, a well know Burlington training facility that is a member of the Gracie BJJ system and has Marcus Soares fly in and do our testing 2x yearly.

That told me everything I needed to know about the belt system.

I did win the 2009 Canadian Open Grappling championship in Hamilton, Ontario 2 years ago.

I've been training for 3-4 years now but I would say the majority of my training is MMA training while I did BJJ for the first year only.
