Weekend was rather interesting as I competed in my first no-gi tournament in well over 2 years the first in the states, and, needless to say, it was eye-opening experience. First, the people at the tournament could be best described as loose. One fellow was dressed as a power ranger and had me baffled as to why he choose the outfit as he personally elaborated that it was arduous to breath in, thus it can be resolutely concluded he just wore it for show. Other fellows competed in stylish get-ups such as no shirt and dirty and ragged beach shorts. Lastly, one fellow wore a wrestling smock and had thighs of uncanny enormity, I could only imagine the type of training this man has gone through and the genetics he possesses.
  Second, I competed at the highest level yet in my BJJ learning experience. Faced a top brown belt competitor, a high level 10th planet student directly under Eddie Bravo and then a division 1 wrestler. I, unfortunately, lost all the matches. Lessons learned are as follows: learn and defend bravo attacks, develop a smarter stronger single leg attack and hit the kimura from the guard and half-guard more smoothly.
 
  Onto the next matches and a new move to drill and master.
