Jiu-jitsu: Daisuke Nakamura and Keitaro Nakamura Win at ALMA Presents Gi2009


I the ALMA presents Gi2009 Jiu-jitsu tournament held Dec 6 in Tokyo, Daisuke Nakamura and Keitaro Nakamura won the Jiu-jitsu gi and grappling divisions, respectively.

Fresh off his championship in the Tokyo International Open 2009 last week, Daisuke Nakamura faced Naoya Uematsu in the Gi finals this time. The match started with the two fighting for positions from standing, with Daisuke scoring 2 points on a take-down. Uematsu attempted to work an arm bar from the guard, but Daisuke would not allow him to score. The match returned to standing, with Uematsu falling into guard but Daisuke wishing to stay on his feet. Uematsu tried for the take down to catch up in points, but Daisuke wouldn't allow him to score. At the end Daisuke was able to win an advantage, going on to win by his two point margin.

In the grappling (no-gi) match between Keitaro Nakamura and Yukiyasu Ozawa, Keitaro opened by trying to sweep Ozawa, then went right to a double-leg take-down. Keitaro then tried to take Ozawa's back, but Ozawa wouldn't allow it. The match returned to standing, with Keitaro aggressively going for take-downs. But Ozawa defended well and threw Keitaro to score a take-down, tying the match. However Keitaro was able to return to his fee and score a take-down against Ozawa to take the lead. The match then returned to standing with the two fighting for positions, but Keitaro's continued take-down attempts kept Ozawa from attacking. Keitaro maintained his lead for his 3rd straight grappling championship.
