Xtreme Couture BJJ Open

Yesterday I traveled from Hamilton to Mississauga to spend the day at the first Xtreme Couture BJJ event.

The tournament ran very smoothly and I got the chance to referee some great battles on the mats. There’s a ton of strong competitors emerging from within the white and blue belt ranks which is great to see. It took me a match or two to get the mind warmed up to the task of reffing as it’s been probably 2 months since the last tourney but after that it was all good.

We had a crew of competitors at the event and two of our team members traveled to Barrie to compete in an competition that was being run on the same day. After all the action was done, we ended up taking home 3 golds and 3 Bronze medals. It’s great to see the guys rewarded for the hard work they put into their training to prepare for it all.

Many great tournaments coming up in the second half of 2010 including our annual event, the Joslin’s Canadian Open, which is being held on November 14th.
