2024 Oklahoma Judo Association State Championship Senior Elite 100+ kg Match 2

Second match of the day was against Corey, a teammate from USA Stars. Senior Elite is going to be full of people as big, strong, and fast as he is, so this is another example of how I'm just going to have to get better.
THINGS I DID WELL:
This time I came forward. Last time we fought, I circled and backed.
I matched his movement and circled well at the beginning.
I attacked first. It was a CRAPPY arm spin, which immediately put me in danger, but I attacked first.
As I watch this over and over, I am the one moving forward the majority of the time. That's a plus.
THINGS I NEED TO IMPROVE:
A MAJOR THEME FROM THIS WEEKEND IS I NEED SEVERAL BACKWARD ATTACKS LIKE O UCHI, O SOTO ETC.
We're both back on our heels so hard at about 21 seconds in, an O uchi could have won it for either of us.
STOP WITH THE CRAPPY ARM SPINS.
I did a good job fighting off my back and out of danger after the crappy arm spin.
He takes a high grip with his right at 1:02. I CANNOT try to come over the top and grip. I need to either come under and grip, or I need to clear that off.
At 1:03, we've got identical grips. Both on the back by the belt, and he has my left sleeve, but I'm controlling the wrist that has my sleeve. He hits O Uchi, I step off it, step in front for a hip throw, he steps off that, and hits his own hip throw for ippon.
