Chin vs Abdullah

Welcome to our final match of the first round of our MMA grappling tournament. This is the clinch and ground work game at its best. No stiking allowed. With me today is 'Califlower' Callihoun, champion Shoot Wrestler.

Thanks Mr. Jack, We have a great match for our audience today. It is African Freestyle Wrestler Abdullah versus Aikido Master Chin.

The two face off and move toward the middle of the Octagon where the referee is waiting.

Turn 1: Abdullah attempts a lockup but Chin reverses the hold, locks up Abdullah knocking him to the ground.

We are to a fantastic start. That hip throw that Chin used brought Abdullah down hard. Chin has the advantage lets see what he can do with it.

Turn 2: Chin attempts a submission hold. Abdullah reverses the situation locking up Chin. Chin would have been knocked down if he wasn't hard as nails.

The sweep by Abdullah was fantastic. Chin is hard as nails and equally tough to bring down but while Abdullah was unsuccessful to bring him down he still has position and the advantage with the lock up in the Clinch,

Abdullah stands up and attempts a submission but is unable to find a hold. Chin is knocked down and still locked up.

Abdullah keeps the arm locked as he stand up. He tries to apply a standing arm bar but Chin keeps position and prevents it. Abdullah does knock Chin down so the has top position now.

Turn 3: Abdullah attempts a submission successfully applying a leg lock (-2 to Chin strength). Chin rolls for escape from submission (2d6 against Str of 2) PASSED 2d6! Chin escapes the leg lock. (Abdullah attempts to apply 1 point of damage to Chin's strength, rolled Arm so no damage applied.) Chin attempts to escape from lockup. He succeeds moving 1 zone away and stands up.

WOW! what a fantastic leg lock. Chin is in pain and he is completely out of position. Abdullah has all the leverage. Mr. Jack it will be only moments now. Lets watch closely to see Chin tap.

OH MY Gawd! 'Califlower' I can't believe it Chin is slowly moving Abdullah's lock. He is reaching for Abdullah's arm.

He has it! He has IT! You were right Mr. Jack. Chin has freed himself from the leg lock. He does it with grit and determination!

Chin has escaped from the leg lock now he is escaping from the lower position. He is crawling away and he has stood up! That is amazing! He looked done and now he has completely reset the match.

Chin moves toward Abdullah attempts to lockup and is successful knocking him to the ground.

Chin doesn't run away either. He charges right back into a standing clinch with Abdullah. He sweeps Abdullah to the ground and moves to the mount to lock Abdullah up.

Turn 4: Abdullah attempts to escape lockup but fails. He is still locked up.

Chin attempts a submission hold. An arm lock is applied. Abdullah attempts to escape from the submission. (Passing 2d6 vs Strength of 4, 0d6 passed). TAP OUT!

Abdullah is trying to sweep Chin into the guard but Chin moves quickly to the side mount. He has the arm lock applied. The submission hold is too much for Abdullah. He taps out!

Wow! what a great match!

Chin wins

I really enjoyed the way the charts moved the flow of the grappling back and forth. It was really exciting to get my first MMA to escape from submission especially when it has a -2 factor applied to Strength for the passing of dice.

I am still not sure if I like the term of Standing to represent the top position in grappling. It doesn't give the feel of both MMA on the ground grappling but it is much easier to represent with miniatures and know who receives a -1d6 and who doesn't.
