    Just seeing this now, I'm the 2nd guy. Jumped into this comp after 7 weeks of training, it's funny looking back now, genuinely had no clue what I was doing. Thanks again for the roll

      Does your lifting strength carry over well to grappling?

      @craigchkw 2 года назад +94

      @@6flags545 absolutely. As much as people will tell you it doesn't, it really does. It will become less relevant as I progress through the belts but at a white belt level strength is such a big advantage in my opinion. The key is to not rely on it and focus on technique but if you can combine the 2 then youre giving yourself a big advantage.

    Would have loved to hear more about you. You're obviously an athletic young man with a good penchant for foot sweeps. Your first competitor seemed very well matched, the man actually seemed to know a bit more jitsu than you but he had trouble capitalizing on his sweeps.
    Great matches overall. And great gas tank.
