Post Arnold Classic

In my last blog I wrote about the Arnold Classic. It lived up to the hype and there was easily over 100,000 people at the convention center. It looked like a refugee camp! The competition was tough this year, NAGA (north american grappling association) is the largest amateur event at the arnold classic. I lost my first no-gi match 6-4 to Jeremy Ashley, who end up taking first place. Later on in the day I competed in the blue belt gi division and I took second. I submitted three opponents and lost in the finals 2-0. Overall I was pretty happy with the results, especially because it is the toughest tournament in the Midwest.
