Hey Gang,
I just got back from NAGA's Battle at the Beach Championships. It was my first grappling contest in a looooong time. My main goal was to compete and not get hurt. My secondary goal was to compete at a much higher weight class than normal. Instead of cutting weight to 170, I tried my hand at the 190lb weight class. I wound up getting Second place in my division due to the fact that I impinged my shoulder in the Finals. It's still hurting and now I've got to get back to some hardcore training. I'll be posting up an article this week on the training I did for the event, as well as the changes I need to make to my precontest routines to make up for the mistakes I made in my training for this one. I'll also include links to vids of two of my matches.
