The 2008 U.S. Open XIII Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament took place last weekend and our school showed up with an amazing twenty four competitors! We had a large number of first time competitors this tournament. Regardless of the results congratulations to you for training hard and testing yourself.

Our results were impressive, with half of our competitors earning medals in one or more divisions. Excellent work!
