From the website it looks like there's maybe an absolute division that anyone can compete in---in addition to their normal division (like if I'm an intermediate heavyweight I can also compete in the absolute). Is that accurate,or am I misreading?
Thanx for the support JJ ,i appreciate everything you have did for me and Grapplemania. Just as you have done for me, i will support all your events and always be there for Casca Grossa, my #1 Sponsor.
Are you affiliated with Rodrigo Lopes's academy? I think this is great that you are throwing this event in Seattle. There aren't too many quality grappling tourneys in the Seattle area.
I am not affilated with BJJSEATTLE, but the school has been a great help in getting this event off the ground. Also Coccoon Athletics in Vancouver have been awesome. Both schools have supported my efforts from the beginning. I thought Seattle would be a good location for a tournament Jiu Jitsu has a strong presence in the Pacific Northwest. I will also be having serval more grappling events thru out the year, most will be in places , that have a lack of events. This way it will give people a opportunity to compete without having to drive 10 hours. Do you train in the area? Thanks for the support
