On February 9th, I'll compete in this tournament: https://asjjf.org/main/fighters/1623. Find me in the list, I'm Richard Booth. I'm currently the only competitor in the 30+ white belt 100kg+ division. If no one else enters, I'll win uncontested and be entered in the white belt 30+ open weight division. Will I win gold in that division?
Some relevant information:
I've been training since September of last year. In BJJ, white belt typically lasts up to two years.
I have functionally no non-bjj relevant experience (wrestling, judo, etc)
I lift at maybe a low intermediate level - squat 1.5x bodyweight or so.
This is my first tournament. I'm unfamiliar with the rules
I'm likely to be the heaviest competitor in the open division by 10kg or more.
Let's be real, I'm making this market because I want someone to ask me how the tournament went after it's over ๐
Happy to answer any other questions in the comments. I'll be betting on myself.
