| I took first place in the heavyweight division. I won my first match by arm bar and won the second by baseball choke. Combined time was about a minute. I entered the open division and was the biggest guy by about 30 pounds (238 at weight ins). I won my first match by arm bar from the guard and than won the second by guillotine choke. I was fucking gassed at this point and had to go against a wrestler who was 190 pounds. I got him in a head and arm throw and couldn't finish the choke. I was fucked after that and spent rest of the match mounted fighting off submission attemps. Anyways, heres a few pics. More should come later. |

| Last time I was in Iraq I started learning some grappling and I have some respect for you that shit is tiring after a few rounds. I love it though. |

| Your buddy never got wood when y'all were down there did he? |

Grappling is martial arts. |
| Posted by: Jake Varner Jun 30 2008, 12:22 PM | ||
Nah, we are all straight. I actually rolled against a chick once. She was smoking hot. I anaconda choked her.  |

I thought it was a form of clinch wrestling. I know that judo and that russian sambo incorporate aspects of it into their sport but i didnt think it was an actual martial art. i still think golf is harder  |

| I'm not sure if grappling/BJJ is the hardest sport out there, but it is definitely one of them. It's one on one competition, that comes down to technique, endurance, strength, and the mental game. You have to think about what you are going to do to your opponent, not what they are going to do to you. |

Clicn wrestling is considered a combat system. All grappling is considered a martial art. |

| what about vietnamese slap-boxing? |

| I did my second tournament this afternoon. It was a judo/jiu-jitsu hybrid deal. You started from your knees and could win by: submission, pin (25 second hold down), or by weight. The weight deal was pretty gay. The rounds were five minutes and there were not points. If no pin or submission happened in that five minutes, the lighter guy wins. Anyways, I won match one by pin. Lost my second match by north-south choke, and than won my third fight pin. I wanted to submit my opponents but my coach told me to go for the pin because I was the heaviest guy in all my matches and didn't want to risk losing. Start of match #3.  Pinning guy #3  Pinning guy #1  |

Nah, this tournament was pretty tame and thus, pretty boring. |
