Biggest Accomplishment in NAGA:
|
NAGA US Nationals in 2007, which was my first NAGA competition. I was competing in the Intermediate division and had taken 1st place in GI and No-Gi. When they called the Advanced division, only a single competitor was there. The ring referee heard me tell my father that I would have grappled him. He called Kipp Kollar over and asked him if that was allowed. Kipp asked the other competitor if he wanted to compete for the championship belt instead of just having it given to him. He said yes and we grappled. I submitted him to win the belt. |
