The Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy (www.ibjja.com) will be hosting the E.G.O. (Extreme Grappling Open) tournament on Saturday, September 25th. The tournament will be held in a nice venue in Indianapolis and will have gi and no-gi competition.
We will also be holding three 8-man invite only tournaments and one 8-woman tournament.
The winners of these divisions will receive nice Championship Belts and 2nd place competitors will receive a Battle Axe, with 3rd placers getting a Samurai Sword.
All other 1st- 3rd place competitors will receive medals.
The invite only weight classes are as follows:
Lightweight men 130 – 160lbs.
Middleweight men 161 -190lbs.
Heavyweight men 191-220lbs
Women's Invite tournament weight class is; 130 -165lbs
We are taking applications now for the invite tournament and the rest of the info will be posted on the site this week (www.ibjja.com)
Please send a grappling resume to James@IBJJA.Com, complete with height weight grappling/NHB experience, awards, Team, and any other information you think may earn you a spot in one of the brackets.
Thanks,
James Clingerman
We have some pretty big names filling in the Invite Tournaments and a flood of teams coming down for this one. It should be awesome!
Some guys from Team Jorge Gurgel will be there!
Can you list some of the guys you have in the "Invite's" so far???
I spoke to Jorge and he is supposed to let me know who he would like to represent our team, if you have a spot for them.
Let me know,
Dustin

TTT for James and his tourney.
From what I have gathered there will be a gi and no gi tournament. The 3-8man divisions of invite only are only no gi.
James, keep the info coming. I understand if you don't list the invite participants yet, it is always wise to secure commitments before posting on the UG.

Please help me keep this TTT

Any info on the 8-man Tournament lineup? Who's fighting?
Team Jorge Gurgel will have some guys in there!!
As of now, we have Dustin Hazlett in the Light Weight Division. He is a 4-strip Blue Belt, has a 2-0 MMA record, and is only 18 years-old!
We hope to fill spots in the other divisions in the very near future!
See you all there,
Dustin Ware
