Lol, I knew what he was doing and I knew he was going to pull guard because he only played guard in his first fight and he saw me take down my first guy three times and he also saw me get arm-barred to shit. He really threw a good flying armbar. He had me; popped his hips and popped my elbow, but I didn't tap. I just took it and got out and then handled him pretty well after that.

I'm so jacked today though... both of my elbows are so swollen that I can't fully extend either arm. I'm lucky I have flexible elbows to begin with or I'd have two broker arms. They're going to be really flexible in about a month, lol.

Now I'm just dealing with some total bullshit. Me and some other fighters carpooled together and I left my truck in front of our dojo and they have a farmer's markert in the parking lot every sunday. Well, the asshole who runs the farmer's market had my truck towed. I'm so pissed. Not only was I parked in front of our dojo but there are also signs clearly posted saying where you cannot park for the farmer's market. I was clearly 50 feet away from them.

Thanks man. The whole truck thing just kind of tarnished the experince a little bit. I'm so pissed. I can't wait to chew him out.

so about the vid: This was half way through the finals match and my buddy who filmed it was filming another friend on the other mat and had to get up and adjust himself to film me so excuse the bad camera work for a second. Both my arms are totally fucked ( you can see how bad my right is when escape the triangle; just laying limp). So if anything else, I am really happy with my performance despite two bad arms.

hey Palma have you ever postured up and hit or had to stop yourself from hitting someone while grappling? I have done it numerous times. It is just a reaction sometimes. Especially when you are getting worked or in a sub and in pain.Just sort of a heat of the moment thing.

And nice match by the way that is awesome. I would really like to compete,but there are only 1-2 BJJ tourneys here a year and they are usually in tulsa. I am thinking of moving to Tulsa to train with Tulsa Top Team,or Mikey Burnetts new Gym. I can't wait until I am healed up.

I will rep when I can must spread it 1st.

I already rep'd you Palma but congrats again that match was legitimately a pleasure to watch.
