For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

White Belt First Class Ben Lee distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with a viado near NAGA Worlds on 11 March 2006.

Did he get the match or a DQ? It sounded like the ref was bitching him out . . . or was that just the railbirds?

HAAAAAA!! that's friggen mint. The best is him looking back at his friends like "why isn't my lame figure four working damnit!!" then taking off the belt, releasing the firgure four, and wrapping it around the guys neck....fucking awesome.

BTW, what arm were they saying to kimura?

Funny ****.

Gene LeBell's done chokes with his Judo belt and the drawstring of his shorts before. Never seen anyone do it at a comp though, funny as hell.

Illegal. Have done it myself, received assbeating from trainer because of being a stupid ****. Guy in vide should have been immediately DQed, if he wasn't.

You should be allowed to tie up your opponents arms at the very least.

Darkpaladin

Aren't you? I remember one time this blue belt passed my guard while using the end of his belt to tie up my butterfly guard.

You got hogtied?

As far as I know all you can use the belt for is a grip.

Occasionally I'll use my belt to wrap someone's wrist just to confuse them.
