This being my first event it was a tough one. I won my first match on points but I wasn't really concerned with the points. I was worried about getting the takedown and going through my transitions. I think in the end this hurt me more than helped me winning my first match. During my second match I ran into a guy that had pretty good wrestling and he was short compact and muscular. I was also tired from the short time in between matches. I went for a shot, a sloppy shot at that and got taken down. From there I went into survival mode even though all my opponent was doing was holding me down. I lost that match on points. My next match was for the third place medal. I took the person down and who's winning in points until I decided to make a stupid mistake and go for an armbar when I really wasn't in position to do so. I ended up getting taken down and pretty much couldn't get up from there so I lost on points. Ended up getting fourth place in the 30 and over nogi beginners bracket. I did an absolute 30 and over beginner noogie and got triangle choked and put to sleep in the first round and I lost. I had a good takedown I was winning on points I just didn't follow the fundamentals I tried to go into side control when I should have just stayed in mount and kept my points. Point matches are really different from just open matt rolling but this is a very good lesson to learn. I think I'm going to enter the event on March 17th though.
