Today is my birthday (I’m getting 26). To celebrate, I decided to put up a highlight of my blue belt matches in 2004-2005. It features footage from the following tournaments:
- Sport Jiu-Jitsu Estonian Championships 2004 (Tallinn)
- HOPA Submission Wrestling Challenge 2004 (Helsinki)
- HOPA BJJ Challenge 2004 (Helsinki)
- BJJ Summerfight 2005 (Hanko)
- BJJ Scandinavian Open 2005 (Malmö)
- BJJ Finnish Open 2005 (Tampere)
As you can see I did quite a lot of flying jiu-jitsu and played a lot of guard back then:
After the last tournament in 2005 I didn’t compete again until the Grapplers Quest West Coast Championships in November 2009 where I did my first, rather terrible match as a purple belt. I hope to compete more this year, but for this I’d better find a way to train consistently with people that are on my level which is easier said than done.
Enjoy!
