De La Riva Grappling Tournament!
Congratulations to everyone that competed this past weekend in the De La Riva grappling tournament. Gracie Tampa West went 3 for 3, Dan Martinez, Diego Martinez, and Kit Vongprachan all took first place in their divisions. Dan actually took first in his weight and then won the weight class up as well. So not only do they have more medals, but soon they receive their swords in the mail, then nothing will stop them!
Hope to see everyone this week for jiu jitsu class at 1PM and 7PM.

Sherdog Technique of the week!
Clicky for the new Sherdog technique of the week!
It was been 2 weeks since we implemented our new MMA and Wrestling classes, and I just wanted to remind everyone that the new MMA striking and wrestling classes Mon-Thurs mornings at 10:30am are great classes for everyone to take. If you are interested in adding some striking to your training, this is the time to do it, if you want to compete in grappling competition you need wrestling, and this is the time to learn it, and most importantly, if you want to compete in MMA, you MUST attend these classes to get your sparring time in.
I hope to see everyone on the mat!
