 While the Pan-Ams were going on in the states, so as not to feel left out Carcass took a road trip along with Gracie Barra Sheffield to compete in the prestigious (not really) UMA Groundfighting championships.After a bit of a fuck-up in the final, I came away with a silver medal at <65kg and 4th in the <75kg (they took me out of the open weight to make the numbers work and just gave me extra fights one weightclass up instead). Gi-chokes (cross collar and ezekiel) from guard were the order of the day and proved effective! Pic: [Link]  congrats!  awesome, congrats!speaking of pan ams, my instructror (jorge britto) took gold in his black belt division...but none of our other guys won (we sent 5 ppl down) other friend won her first match 12-0, and went on to lose in the quarters to the girl who came first in her division  Great, mate! Congratulations!  well done, killah!! Burtonchik, your instructor is obviously a badass.Thanks to everyone! There's now a video (I done this! :D )[Link]  Congrats....Since when are you aloud to wear a sweater under your gi? Some guys wear rashguards but I have my natural friction-free underlining :P  congrats man, that is a pretty pimp accomplishmenti have never understand why you start on your knees in jits, why cant you start standing up, like in a real fight  So you grapple instead of wrestle. it still doesnt make since though "i have never understand why you start on your knees in jits, why cant you start standing up, like in a real fight "naw, in tournaments you always start standing, but in training, for space reasons (aka 70 guys training in one room at a time) you'll often start on your knees  That BJJ rap in the highlight video was awesome!!! "i have never understand why you start on your knees in jits, why cant you start standing up, like in a real fight"In BJJ, you start standing. However, this was a tournament under Judo 'newaza' (groundfighting) rules - you start back to back and you're not allowed to come up any higher than one knee, even to pass the guard. That's how judo guys practice their groundwork. The tourney was open to all styles so we went down and cleaned house :D There were some funny pics of guys on the podium - 1 and 2 wearing white belts and BJJ gis with a judo black belt on the 3rd spot.  congrats carcass  Gratz dude.I flew down to LA from Alaska to compete in the Pan Ams. I won my first 2 matches, first by points 12-0, second by submission via mounted traingle in under 2 minutes. Lost my third match by 2 points but should have, I wasn't awarded mount points I should have got which would have given me the win. Overall I was happy, it was my first competition and only been training for a year. My teammates did well too, 6 people went down we took back 2 golds, and a silver. Well done Busket, well done indeed! Congrats to you both! wow. some awesome grapplers on this site. ^^ and photographers <3(im trying to kiss ass, so maybe i can go to the next big event with esther. maybe i can carry a camera case so that she doesnt have all that heavy shit around her neck all the time)
