Hello,
My name is Jason Scully. I’m a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training under Jared Weiner (Lloyd Irvin) who owns BJJ United. I’m helping organize a grappling tournament in Wall, NJ on April 3rd 2010. While I know there are bigger tournaments out there such as Grapplers Quest and NAGA. The people running this new event which is called "Head to Head Grappling" are looking to have a consistent tournament in the tri-state area for those who want to compete more and get ready for these big events.
I personally am focused on building a respectable tournament with decent referees and organization where the competitors know that we have their best interests in mind. Is this my own personal tournament? No it is not. I’m helping organize and promote this event for a couple of good people who are willing to take the time to give more chances for grapplers all around the area to compete more.
Some of you know me and some of you don’t. I love the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Grappling and have pretty much dedicated my life to it and anyway I can help those around me in the sport I will do my best to do so.
I hope you will take a few minutes to read about the details of this tournament and possibly pass the information about the event onto your students. Below is some info on the event, that I’ve posted around the internet. Below you’ll find 2 printable flyers that are in PDF format, just incase you don’t receive a physical flyer in the mail. If you could post it somewhere visible in your academy it would be greatly appreciated.
