christian konoval
march 16, 2013 cypress, texas well christian konoval has done it again, but this time at a jiu-jitsu tournament. he has brought back a naga belt to portland and corpus christi, texas! he won his match under extraordinary circumstances. first, he weighed in at 99 lbs. (light heavyweight) at 9 years old and was then put in a weight division of 100 to 114 lbs. (heavyweight) 9 to 11 years old. then, he had to fight an opponent that was two ranks higher then him. well, this didn't matter to christian because he finished the match in 19 seconds!!! wow!!! yes, 19 seconds!!! he grabbed his opponent and threw him down with a powerful dominating judo throw. then, he got on his opponent's back in a split second and reached down and grabbed his arm. he locked it up against his body and leaned back with proper form for a full arm bar submission!!! his opponent didn't know what hit him! christian did great!!! we trained powerful judo throws over and over again while going straight into technical transition submissions. we did this non-stop. well, practice makes perfect and in this case it worked. he brought back with him a belt! christian is so happy!!! i am a certified usa judo coach, but i don't mind teaching and coaching individuals for jiu-jitsu or wrestling because they are so close in similarity. judo has helped christian's performance by leaps and bounds. it has given him the upper hand against his jiu-jitsu opponent's, because the powerful judo throws really throw them off guard. literally! way to go christian! you make me proud to be your coach!
