Something quite spectacular happened in Holland at a local tournament just now. A 65kg purple belt managed to outdo a black belt twice his size.
As per video description
“Dutch Open absolute match. They grouped the purple, brown and blackbelts all together for the absolute and I fell on the more interesting side of the bracket.”
This kind of thing is a phenomenon but it’s not unheard of. As you can see from some of the headlines below:
