  • US Grappling – Mid-Atlantic Grappling Championship 2 Results

    Posted on January 23rd, 2010 admin 1 comment

    Today was the third straight weekend of grappling competitions for Crazy 88 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This time, we sent a few of our grapplers to US Grappling’s event in Boothwyn, PA.

    Russell Atkinson won his first tournament match ever via triangle choke before losing in the following round.  Great job by Russ who has made tremendous improvement in his Jiu-Jitsu.  When he first started, he struggled through the warmup and now he is doing multiple classes a day and competing!

    Scott Heindl rebounded from a first round loss in his weight class to win the Beginner Open division: 12-0, 9-2, and  7-0.  This was Scott’s first tournament!

    A Hat Trick for David Zwanetz as he won his third blue belt division in as many weeks.  Dave received a bye in the 1st round, flash-triangled his 2nd opponent, and then defeated the 2009 Blue Belt Galo World Silver medalist in the Finals.  Great job by Dave who weighed in at 123 for the 123-135.5 lb weight class.

    Zach “SWAT” Perret and “Big” Al Washington drove their crazy butts to Richmond, Virginia from New Jersey after their Muay Thai fights on Saturday to compete in the Submission-Only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu event run by US Grappling.   Because of their participation at Brad Daddis’ MMA and Muay Thai smoker event, they were unable to compete in the No Gi but they had a great showing in the Gi and didn’t seem too much the worse for the wear for having been involved in fisticuffs less than 24 hours earlier.

    It’s not easy to do a No-Time-Limit grappling tournament PERIOD, much less after a Muay Thai fight, so make sure you give these guys a hand and some ibuprofen when you see them.
