Check out the link below for info on the San Diego BJJ Open tournament happening on Saturday October 1ST. I plan on competing in the white belt division and seeing how my wrestling experience will hold up.
Should be a good tournament with some top black belt competition. I heard on abubu dhabi news that Xande Riberio, Demian Maia, Arthur Ruff, Rafael Lovato Jr., Eduardo Telles, Cassio Werneck, Wander Braga, and Andre Galvao are all confirmed!

The 2005 San Diego BJJ Open will have $12,000 U.S. dollars in prize money for professional black belts and team competition. First place black belts will win $2,500 and second place black belts will win $1,000. For black belts there will be a Lightweight (up to 181lbs/82,30Kg with gi on), Heavyweight (up to 221lbs/100,50Kg with gi on), and an Absolute division. Black belts can enter in both their weight and the Absolute, giving them a chance to win $5,000 total prize. The tournament promises to showcase some of the most exciting black belt fights. In addition the tournament pays the first place team $1,000 and second place team $500.
