Hey guys!
I posted one of these threads a year ago when I first started competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and just wanted to post another one as I revisited the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament as they stopped by for another event in philly one year later. This is my second NAGA tournament and third tournament over all. I had two silver medals from each of my previous tournaments and really wanted to go in there to get the gold this time. I was able to pull it off and did it flawlessly without getting a point scored against me, also submitting my opponent in the gold medal match in under two minutes. :)

This was my first fight for the day, it started off pretty well as I got the trip as he was pulling guard. Guy was pretty scrappy and he was really working his ass off to recover position. I was able to play a very strong top game though, get the side mount and almost finish the match with a kimura. It was hard to see on the camera but as he pops his head up I actually have his arm in the submission really deep to the point of dislocating his shoulder but he defended well and I didn't finish it properly. I won the match 4-0

Gold Medal Match which I was excited to revisit after losing in the gold medal match a year ago in the previous NAGA philly. I was going for the trip again in the beginning but the guy pulled guard before I could take him down. I landed in half guard and my opponent had it in very deep. Luckily I saw an opening for his neck and put in an ezekiel choke. At first the choke is only on the one artery and his windpipe. As he turns (this part is more visible on the video) and tries to pop up I sink the choke in to his other artery and he taps out.
Anyways I really encourage people to go out there and try competitive sports, martial arts or whatever you love even tf2 :).
