Competed in my first ever BJJ tournament as a white belt yesterday and got a fair amount of video, so I figured I'd fire it up here and get some feedback/get yelled at and see what I can do to improve. I've been doing BJJ for about a month.
First video No gi 175 and under Novice

I'm white shirt/red ankle. Start off okay then things go south pretty fast! Afterwards my coach pulled me aside and gave me a talking to about keeping my arms in more and not giving up the kimura. My arms were pretty flared out when I was trying to keep him from posturing up from guard and I should have just been more content with sitting in judo pins with my hooks in rather than flopping about hunting for submissions that I haven't gotten to really drill yet.
