Results IX BJJ Spartakiades 2009

6 fighters from the academy where at the last Spartakiades in Brussels this past saturday april 25th. The results are excellent. We came back with 4 medals and a lot of extra competition knowledge. I had a good time and tried to stay injury-free. I fought 3 times and learned that you cant rush things even if you feel like it. Congratulations to Jessica, Jan and Stef for their performances! ! !

Videos of my fights are up now on the new BJJ Gent Youtube channel.

From the International BJJ Federation:

D-) THE MOUNT: is when the athlete sits on his opponent’s torso;
the opponent can be lying on his stomach, side or back. The one mounted can
be on top of one of his opponent’s arms, but never on both. It will also be
considered a mount if he has one knee and one foot on the ground, 4 POINTS.
OBSERVATIONS: no points will be awarded if his feet or knees are on his
opponent’s leg. Also if an athlete applies a triangle while in the guard and
in so doing lands mounted on his opponent, it will be considered a sweep,
not a mount.
