NY International Open Results
Posted on April 18th, 2009 2 commentsAge Skill Weight Result Keith Cebula Masters Blue Belt Lightweight (<167.5 lbs) 1st Open 1st** Timothy Spriggs Adult Blue Belt Middle Heavy (<194.5 lbs) 1st Cathy Tran-Zwanetz Adult White Belt Lightweight (<141 lbs) 1st ** = split division w/ teammate; no losses.
Keith “Trainspotting” Cebula easily won the Masters Blue Belt division, submitting his first two opponents with breadcutter chokes before posting a 6-0 victory in the Championship round with 2 guard passes. Having placed Top 3 in his weight division, our teammate qualified for the Open division. Unfortunately, there were only 2 other competitors in that division so Trainspotting won his match on a massive number of points and then split the Open Division title with Pere from Camp Springs! Awesome showing!

Timothy “#1 Stunna” Spriggs dominated the Meio Pesado division, going 4-0. He won 18-0, 2-0, 8-2, and 4-0 to win his first CBJJ Gold medal. He controlled every match and did not look like a full-time college student who trains during vacations. #1 Stunna has been working out hard and studying video heavily and has been able to maintain his skills even when he is not in Maryland. Great job from the 18 year old.

Cathy Tran-Zwanetz made her IBJJF debut…luckily. There was originally no one in her division to fight but the officials were kind enough to let her bump up a weight class to compete against another girl who was also opponent-less. Cathy used her crushing shoulder pressure to pass her opponent’s guard, mount, and ezekielle in 45 seconds. A textbook match that brings Ms. Cathy’s record to 3-0.
