We are VERY PROUD of our competition team. Brentwood BJJ brought home 4 Gold, 2 Silver, and 1 Bronze (and I probably missed somebody). Congratulations to Jordan, Brad, Austin and Mike - Golds, Keith and Nick - Silvers, and Austin again for his Bronze in No-Gi. Team Luiz Palhares also won the 1st place team trophy. Way to go!
Even our guys who didn't place fought exceptionally well. We have several up and coming white belts that are going to be beasts.
The tournament itself was a great success! We want to give a shout out to everybody who made it happen: The table workers, the refs, the runners, the "mat crew," and the great competitors.
There were over 100 competitors - a great turnout for a first event! We are already planning the next one so stay tuned.
We also want to give a huge thank you to our sponsors. Make sure you show them some love. Fighters Market gave $20 gift vouchers to the 1st place finishers in each bracket. Casca Grossa was there with a huge table of goodies and provided a lot of technical support. We also had help from the National Guard, Subway, Budo Videos, and Stanford Fine Art.
