do you guys think that doing mma fights for a little while then going into jits tournaments will make you more confident and agressive. there is a lot less to worry about in jits so i figured this might be so...

While it is true the Hermes Franca is a tough Jits Guy, it is also true that this is not him in the vid.


24 wins! Dominic Cruz better watch out!

Its weird b/c in grappling tourneys I dont have to worry about getting puched in the face yet I still feel less confident b/c a number of the tools that I am used to using are gone (I feel like Batman with no utility belt). On the flip side, competing in MMA allows me to relax alot more so I am far less nervous going into a grappling tourney BUT the downside is that sometimes I am way too relaxed.

The last grappling tournament I competed in I noticed that I didnt really wake up until my 2nd match and I was trying all kinds of crazy stuff b/c I realized that even if I missed a TD or sub attempt it didnt matter b/c I wouldnt be in danger of getting punched LOL!

I guess I need to compete in more grappling tourneys to find that happy medium. I feel so out of my element even though grappling is by far my strongest asset. Stare
