Bobby's very first Grappling Tournament. Thanks to Throwdown-- my husband wants to be a fighter. It was a very interesting experience for me, but in the end it was a really fun day. Bobby had a blast and did really well for his first time. Here is how the big event went:
(P.S. Grappling is a style of fighting/wrestling that involves no punching or kicking. Basically just choking, dislocating limbs and flat out exhausting the opponent)
Friday Night - The big Weigh In 
Saturday Morning 9am - Check In 
10am - still waiting...
11am - finally his name is called!
11:15am - First Match 
Bobby won this match with a guillotine headlock! YAHOO!!!
11:30am - Second Match
Unfortunately Bobby lost this one, but he is allowed one more loss before he is out.
11:35 - Third Match
I accidentally deleted this video, but hopefully you can tell from the pic that this dude was freakin ripped! This was Bobby's longest match and he almost had it but he was so exhausted; he had zero rest time from his second match to his third. Unfortunately he lost this one too so he was out of the tournament. He ended up getting 5th out of 9 guys! People kept coming up to him telling him how good he did so he definitely made a good first impression!
Thank goodness we escaped without any major injuries - just a small busted lip and a couple scratches (and lots of sore muscles)!

Thanks to all our great friends who came out to watch him, it was fun to have your support!

Not gonna lie - this looks like something mom's don't want to watch. So basically you have to HURT the opponent to win, not just pin him down? Ouch!
i bet he has been walking around proudly with those "battle wounds" huh? haha :)
Yea! An update! Loved looking at what you guys have been up to the last few weeks. I'm super excited to be there soon!
no sword, huh? maybe next time :)
