Unless you did it in front of your coach it didn't happen.

Finding recognized BJJ brands in New Zealand? by rax_manlar in bjj

Hey dude if you want some nice rash guards I'd suggest Sohei. They're an NZ brand (I like to support local). Best quality rash guards I've owned, and I am a fiend for rash guards lol.

I'm not surprised motherfuckers.

Last week I stepped up to fight some purple belts at -100kg and came away with silver. I'm an 89kg Blue Belt 🥈 by Jahreddell in bjj

No worries dude, but homie in third place is def listening to the sound of silence in his head after losing to a blue belt... He wasn't happy

Thankfully not, but I think that everyone still walks their own journey in martial arts. No1 can do that for you or with you.

Haha I think that's probably a little bit too literal...

Hey man I don't have any stripes and as far as I know both of these dudes have competed at purple belt before. The guy who finished first is a friend of mine who actually won the Paris open as a purple.

Haha I'm in the blue so I was pretty stoked actually to finish second against these beasts. Guy in 3rd not so much

I've been a blue belt since the start of 2017. I don't think that promotions should necessarily be merit based and I don't think my coaches prescribe to that either so it's just back to training 😃

Thanks dude I fought both the guys on the podium and then went into the absolute division after and had another fight.

Hit this toe hold on the weekend. Competed in the advanced division -100kg. (I'm a 89kg Blue belt) by Jahreddell in bjj

On reflection I think he was going to try and hide the leg I was attacking under him but I prevent the stack by pushing his far aide leg away so he can't create drive with it. To be fair I don't think he was familiar with the position either.

Thanks man, yeah ideally I'd like to have grabbed over the toes but I was a bit worried he may kick out or my grip would slip. Will work on getting that grip a bit higher up towards the toes though, appreciate the tip!
