The Abu Dhabi Pro West Coast Qualifying Tournament just took place and our school was very well represented. Marcos Torregrosa won his division and Brad Sandoval and Q taking 3rd in their respective divisions. Excellent work at a very tough tournament.

With his 1st place win Marcos has earned himself a trip to Abu Dhabi for the main event and a chance for a piece of over $145,000 in prize money.

Congrats again to all the competitors, excellent job.

There will be no classes held November 26, 27, and 28 for the thanksgiving holiday.

Enjoy the time off and we'll see you back on the mat on Monday.

We had four competitors head down to the 2009 World No-Gi Championship. Each competitor ended up in the finals match for their division, very impressive.

Congratulations to Al Williams, the new World Champion masters brown belt middle weight. Additional congratulations to Sean McCandless, Merrick Hamilton, and Dustin Akbari on their 2nd place finishes in their respective divisions. Check the results page for details.

It is quite an accomplishment that these four fighters all placed first or second. Their success is a testament to their training and dedication on the mat, in the gym, and on their diets.

Congratulations again to everyone!
