On Saturday April 15th, at 12:30 PM, Randy Bloom will be promoting his 1st Tournament of Pros Grappling Event. This will be a submission oriented no-gi grappling competition. There will be two single elimination 8 man tournaments. One will be a 160 and under division, and the other will be a 161-200 division. There will also be 2 superfights. The only ways to obtain victory will be by submission or by obtaining 12 or more points with a 3 point lead. In our attempt to provide more exciting fights for the spectators, stalling will be strongly discouraged.
The goal is to attract some of the best submission grapplers in the country. Winners of the tournaments will receive $1,000 cash prizes, and the winners of the superfights will receive $500. 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive some products from event sponsors. All competitors will receive a professional quality DVD of the event produced by GrappleTV. At least one major martial arts magazine will cover the event.
This first event will be held at the 7,000 square foot ACG facility at 1320 Calle Avanzado, in San Clemente California.
