In June, I participated in the Arizona State Jiu- Jitsu Championship in Phoenix. I competed in both the Gi and No-Go divisions. To prepare I had to practice every day. For one hour a day, I practiced moves such as the scissor sweep, take downs, and chokes. I was ready for the big day!

The event room was really big with lots of people. I got to watch a few fights before my matches. I won my first fight in Gi. For my next in the semifinals, I came in with hope but I lost. It wasn’t enough. I earned a bronze medal in that division.
