    Tye Ryan Murphy Adult Blue Belt Middle (<181 lbs) 3rd

    Tye Ryan Murphy’s first opponent does not make weight.

    Tye Ryan Murphy defeats Yuji Okamura (Ralph Gracie Mountain View) on a 2-2 judges decision.

    Tye Ryan Murphy wins 2nd match (3rd round) on another judges decision 0-0.

    In the Final Four, Tye was up 2-0 against Owen Gould (Gracie Humaita) but fell prey to a clock choke with 30 seconds on the clock! A disappointing ending but at least he qualifies for the Open division later on today and got himself a US Open Bronze medal!

    First match of the Open, Tye is victorious 6-0! Second round loss by 7-0 forces Tye out of the Open division.

    Joshua Baudour (Claudio Franca) submits David Zwanetz via triangle.

    Kwami Mensah loses 4-0 on a last second back take.

    Good article by Gracie Magazine on the event here.

    Jon wins semifinal match also by choke from the back, after racking up 9-0 lead versus Jacob Montalvo (Harlingen Jiu Jitsu).  Into the finals he goes!

    Jon takes a Silver at the US Open of BJJ. Great job! Jon lost a 0-0 (4-2) match to Tryfon Stathopoulos (Gracie Humaita) in the finals. Open is coming up!

    Jon submits first opponent in the Open via Breadcutter.

    Jon enters final of US Open Purple Belt Open division with a 6-0 semi-final victory.  It was a rematch with Tryfon Stathopoulos (Gracie Humaita) from the Middle Heavy finals!   Sweet revenge!  Tryfon had defeated the always tough Nate Mendelsohn (Claudio Franca) in the quarterfinals 4-2.

    Jon wins Purple Belt Open.  Scoring 12 points before getting the Breadcutter submission! The 14th US Open of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’s Purple Belt Open Gold medal is coming back to Howard County, Maryland!
