2018 IBJJF Nationals in Las Vegas

-
I went to the  2018 IBJJF Nationals in Las Vegas. I had a lot of fun. We had a one day trip, to Las Vegas and back home. My coach, Coach Josh came to Las Vegas with us to coach me. I am super thankful for him to come and coach and watch me. We got to the tournament and I was ready to fight. I had to fight up in age brackets for this tournament. We were called up to fight. We were fighting hard standing up, until she pulled guard. She pulled and I passed right away. She turtled, I was about to take her back, but she turned and she was in my full guard. Right away I did the kimora. She tapped and I won the match. I got 1st place in the 2018 IBFFF Nationals in Las Vegas. After the tournament we went to the Pawn Stars Pawn Shop, and it was super cool. Then we ate some barbecue, which was really good. I had an amazing time in Las Vegas!

Kids cup 2018

I went to the AZ Jiu-Jitsu Kids Cup 2018 and had a fun time. I had two people in my division. I moved up 10 pounds to fight. I was ready to fight. They called my name to fight. I was fighting under Refuge BJJ. In first match I collar dragged the girl, went to side control, then went to mount. When I was on mount I did an americana. She said tap, so I let go, but the ref didn't see it. So i tried it again and got it. The next match which was the finals, the girl shot a double leg on me. I sprawled and got her back. I tried to do different chokes, but then I finally got the bow and arrow choke. I won the Kids Cup and had an amazing time there! Talk to you soon and keep in touch!   Jessica, aka Little Monster -    instagram: little_monster565  AZ

Today I went to the Naga tournament, and it was super fun! I woke up at 6:30, and surprisingly I was not tired, I was ready to fight! We got to the tournament and waited about 2 hours. Mrs. Kanani and Coach Josh came to help coach me. It meant a lot to me that they came just for me. I went to do my no-gi match first and and I won! I had one person in my division. I also had the same person in my gi division. I won that match as well. I got a GIANT belt, it looks super cool, and a really cool medal. I was super happy. It was really fun. After the tournament we went out to lunch to Olive Garden. It was a really good day. I had a lot of fun, and I was thankful to have Mrs. Kanani and Coach Josh come to coach me. :) This is my 13th and 14th podium, I am 1 away from my 15th podium for St. Jude!

I just went to the Old Pueblo Open tournament in Tuscon and had a great time. Yin, Landon, and I competed, same with one of my coaches, and they all did amazing! My brother and his girlfriend came to watch me, and then later on my grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins all came to watch me too. I did No Gi for the very first time. I had to go with the boys group, and it turns out Landon and Yin were in that group (and some other very nice kids)! So first I fought Landon, then I fought Yin. I won my first No Gi tournament! I was super happy! Then we waited for a while and it was time to do the Gi. And guess what? I was in the boys group again. But then my coach's asked to move me up in weight so I didn't have to fight my teammates again. They moved me up in weight with two other nice kids. I won the first match. Then I won the second. I won both Gi and No Gi! First time double gold! Then we waited several hours for my coach to go. While we waited I played "Heads Up" with
