NY Open Results – Team Lloyd Irvin Wins Silver in Overall Team Standings!

space
Tyrone Eaton went 4-1 for the weekend, submitting his first three opponents with breadcutter chokes after passing their guards.  He won a close referee’s decision in the semifinals and lost on points to another very tough grappler from Team Lloyd Irvin; Tyrone came out on the losing end of a takedown scramble and spent the remainder of the match defending his back.  Strong performance from Kwami’s brother.

Evan “Oz” Gideon won 6-0 (4-0) in the Sweet 16 vs. a BJJ’er from Yamasaki Academy.  Oz then tapped the next two opponents with chokes from the back to close out the bracket with Frank Camacho.

Fred “Brad” Thomsen won a slobber-knocker first match 10-9 but fell victim to the eventual champion in the next bout.  Fred bumped up to Heavyweight in order to be “A” team and it was good to see how competitive he could be with the weight disadvantage.

Cathy Tran-Zwanetz submitted her first two opponents from the mount before losing in the semi-finals.

Team Lloyd Irvin Ladies - Kim Rivers (1st) & Cathy TZ (3rd)

Alfonso “Big Sal” Washington had a tough first match but dominated  his final three opponents, submitting all of them to win Gold!  Big Sal didn’t get a chance to work on his new quarter guard techniques but did manage to employ the footsweep he has been drilling.  Not bad for a guy who was having surgery less than a month ago!

“Lawyer” Dave Zwanetz won his first match 6-2 (back take and sweep), defeating the 2009 World Silver Medalist, and then submitted a tough grappler from Gracie Humaita in the Championship round.
