NAGA Wrap Up - Nov. 2012

This past weekend, I had two students compete at NAGA in Nashville.
Here is a photo of us, before the festivities, sporting our Fight-2-Night shirts.

Alex
Alex is 26 and competed only in the nogi beginner division at welterweight (160 - 169 lbs.). This division happened to be the largest at the entire event. Alex lost his first and only match. It was very close, but his opponent was better. His opponent happened to win the entire division, submitting everyone in the process. Alex had a near-finish with a guillotine choke at one point.

Sarah
Sarah is also 26 and competed in the beginner women's division lightweight (120 - 134 pounds). She won Gold in the nogi division. She won silver in the gi division - submitting opponents with armbars and triangles until losing via a cross choke to the gold medalist (whom she beat in nogi).

Both did well and I am proud of them both.
