Thread: Ground Control 3.0

Anyone going, anyone competing?

Im competing althought im sure im going to get my arse kicked haha :yes:

i'm thinking of entering beginners U80 kg (providing i cut the weight:laugh

yup, cutting to -68...might do absolute too haha

me 2 68kg

i've not been able to train for a couple of months due to injury but i might do, when isit?

feb 22nd i think

im actually tempted just out of curiosity to see how far i would get. (probbaly not very) can you just turn up and join in? gonna ask more detail at the seminar next week obviously but it could be fun!

Oh well i guess not many of us would get chance to compete against each other, im in the 98kg+ cat.... unless i drop half a stone to 98-... dunno but my ego is sayin stay as i am haha. Im also in the beginners class btw.


Jay C - whats the "absolute" class?

Absolute class is where basically, you in the -98/+98 can fight me, who is in the -68.

Any weight goes. Marcelo Garcia is known for his ability to win the ADCC absolutes, but Robert Drysdale took it last year

Just a couple of questions,

Is the beginners category divided into separate weight clases or just open weight?
Also, I just wondered what the competition format is (eg. straight knockout elimination rounds or round robin groups etc)
