With less than a minute left and winning by two points, I decide to “posture up” from the guard. It turns out this is an awful decision as my opponent reverses his guard and slickly mounts me. I lose by two points, 4-2.
Exhausted, I sit in the chair next to the scorer’s table and reflect upon my first foray into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition. The sport, even at the white belt level, is much faster than I’d imagined; my opponent’s pressure much more constant than I’d considered.

The East Coast American trials for this year ADCC happened last Saturday (June 13) at Collins Arena of Brookdale College, in Lincroft, New Jersey.
