Fuzzy's competition thread.

1) I'm terrible, I know
2) I'm getting better and hope to post footage of me winning the UK Arnis Alliance Tournament in February.
3) Here's my competition footage playlist on the youtubes: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6C4733CE3661DC43

So, here we have:

2007 Cape of Storms Ju Jitsu Nationals, sport Ju Jitsu sparring:

Nationals is a misnomer, there are no regional qualifiers and entry is completely open.

The careful observer will notice that I have no idea what I'm doing in this fight.



2012 Doce Pares club tournament (about 4 weeks into training):

[Fuzzy]

Fought at the British Open BCKEAI Tournament on Sunday, managed to get 7 fights, though I didn't win anything.

Here's some videos:

1 - Knife fight vs someone who I believe is a former(current?) national-level champion.


2 - Single Stick vs a black belt from my gym


3 - Single Stick vs one of my regular training partners.


After failing to advance in the above divisions I decided to enter the "Open Weapons, £5 entry, winner takes all" event, not because I had any illusions of winning anything but because I just wanted some more fights.

4 - Open Weapons, me with double sticks vs huge dude with a shinai. I won the "Warrior Spirit" award for this one, largely for not dying I think. Apparently I won this fight.

(Apologies if the video looks a bit disjointed, there was a little bit of a sportsmanship fail at one point and I decided not to include it)


5 - Open Weapons Double Stick vs Double Stick. This is me vs my instructor and goes about as well as you'd expect :P

[Fuzzy]

6 - Open Weapons Double Stick vs Double Stick (fight for 3rd place), just me being outclassed.


All in all a lot of fun and I'm very glad I entered.
