@Lydia How long have you been training and how many times a week? Gi or no-gi? Do you have a gameplan? And finally, do you have any top game?

@VigzMcHardthrust oh and is this white belt or blue belt

@BrainAche 3 years, gi, and when I’m training I’ve been going 5x/wk.

I like to hit triangle any chance I can. Otherwise I pull guard, do a scissor sweep, and then try for a choke. I also have been surprisingly effective w buggy choke, however many purists will turn up their nose.

@BrainAche still a white belt

Hey! Good luck! Tell us how it goes! I'm doing my first comp on Feb 9

@JTBooth Where are you competing!! Best of luck.

I had a knee injury so took some time off over the holidays and don’t know when exactly I’ll be back for competitions sake. Now I’m on a daily yoga intensive trying to get myself back in fighting shape to renter the meat grinder

@Lydia copycat market 😁https://manifold.markets/JTBooth/will-i-win-the-open-weight-division

Injuries are so scary - I've banged myself up a little but never more than a few days off.

Will I win the open weight division of my jiu jitsu tournament?

61% chance. 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 😂 Happy to answer any other questions in the comments. I'll be betting on myself.

@JTBooth I’m rooting for you!!

Everyone see the updated description I am deceased

@Lydia ohnoo

@Lydia the market is now going to resolve based on some other competition?

@aashiq Yes, it will resolve based on the results of Jiu Jitsu World League on Jan 25. I won’t be training at all in November because I’ll be out of town and probably very little in December

Wait you are even more based than I thought??

How long have you been training, did you do competitive sports growing up, and what is your fitness level overall?

@JoeBoyle

1. About three years, but on and off. However I did train nearly every day for the past two months or so

2. No

3. I have a thin build but gaining a lot of muscle recently

duh

can I come sing Eye of the Tiger?

@shankypanky PLS

I have trust in your impressive skills. May they prove worthy of victory.

@JeremyPerret Thank you 🙏
