NAGA

Soooo I just fought a very successful tournament, let's recap that, I was a nervous wreck the night before, pacing around in my room listening to Rise Against and sweating bullets, heart was pounding like a jackhammer, I ate and went to sleep. I woke up, picked up my favorite person in the world, my best friend and someone who I think of like a little sister, we went to the tournament, spent the whole ride shaking and listening to gangsta rap music. Nervous. As. Hell. I didn't know what to expect today. I got there, signed in, and immediately sought out Shark, I found him, felt a little better. Found the Twins, they reassured me, relaxed me, made me feel better about this. I relaxed, listened to the rules, and waited. First match up, heart was pounding, head was chaos, ref said go, that was all out the window, calm, level head. I pulled my opponent into my guard, listened to Jeff and Kevin, I got a triangle, I held it deep, adjusting and working for the choke victory, I had to let it go and attempt an armbar, almost got passed, replaced my guard, held, match over, won by points. I started riding the high from that, next I went up against this guy that won his first match with a triangle, pulled my guard, wrapped my legs around him, started listening to what Shark told me, play with the rules, he clamped himself onto me so I started fienting submission after submission, go for the guillotine, let go, go for the kimura, armbar, triangle, don't let him do anything, fight ended 0-0, they stood us up, the refs talked, they gave it to me by Agression Advantage. I chilled for a while, found out there were 3 guys in my gi division, one was a teammate, him and I talked, we didn't care who won and who lost, we fought, I played the game, pulled guard, broke posture, cinched in a kimura for the submission victory, and turned right around and cheered for him as he won his consolation match against the other guy for 2nd place. Got the awards, I was ecstatic, my first tournament that I won ever. I watched some teammates go and left. Had lunch, goofed off, went home and chilled.
