Well, the Extreme Grappling Open is only 11 days away and the event is shaping up nicely! I wanted to resend this information, as I don`t think it made it out on my last attempt. As you can see we are still in need of a few women to compete in the Invite division. I am sure that a few ladies will step of the day of the tournament if need be. Don`t forget to go to www.ibjja.com/ego01.htm for all of the tourney info and registration. We are looking at a pretty huge event this go around. We have many women coming to compete and have several Brown Belts and a few Black Belts confirmed!!A few notes: • We will have divisions for kids • Invite Tournament Competitors- YOU do not pay to compete. • Pre-registrations are due in by October 8th. • I have attached a picture of the Awards for the invite divisions. • 6 Mats will be running continuously. • We are still working on getting some sponsors to donate some stuff (supplements, apparel, etc.) to the Invite division Competitors. • We have added Team Trophies for 1st-3rd place in both Gi and No-Gi divisions!
