Can't believe it...I won my division yesterday and received a 1st place medal for the first time in 6-7 competitions! Even more surprising is that I was in mount or back-mount 90% of the time. My takedowns leave a lot to be desired so I usually pull guard or start from an inferior position. Somehow I ended up in mount early on both times and worked from there the entire time. Won my first match via rear naked choke and 2nd match on points (was trying for another RNC as time ran out).
The best part is that we had a lot of people participate from my school in the tournament, so it was cool to do well in front of them. You don't do well in jiu-jitsu if you don't have good instructors and training partners.
Pretty damn excited about the result!
