Finals match Europa 2011 Super Show

Me with one of my coaches Fred Reyes from Paragon BJJ giving me pointers.

So I had 5 fights this last Saturday in a pretty nice sized tournament. It was the 2011 Europa Super Fight show in Dallas Texas and my bracket had 32 solid blue belts. I told you all last week I would have the finals match on my blog and luckily I won and not only did I win, I hit a reverse Omaplata which I have never hit in a tournament before.

Justin Europa 2011

When i showed up to class monday afternoon my coach told me I was showing the technique and that he wanted me to teach what I won the tourney with. I learned it when I was training at Tiger a few months back and drilled it one day at open mat for about an hour, no lie. I earned the gold medal so APPARENTLY hard work pays off :P I thought it was cool teaching this to about 30 people and it made me learn that little mistakes I make with it and how to tighten it up. Landing this submission in real life made my week and pumps me up to start this training camp for my upcoming fight in October…
