I just would like to thank some people who helped me pull off a great tournament today.
Tony Isaacs - Thanks Tony for being 1 of the hardest workers behind the BJJ Ontario Scene. I have learned so much from you, and I really appreciate all the help.
Fernando Zulick - Helped me out with the brackets and made sure everything was run super smooth today. Thanks Fernando!
Refs/Volunteer Staff - Thanks for all the help today.
And finally I would like to thank all the athletes and schools that helped make the tournament a success. Big thanks to all the schools that competed today, Jeff Joslin, Syl and Danny Moroney, Marco Costa, Omar Salvosa, Mark Stables, Alaina Hardie & Amir. Sorry if I left anyone out.
Also one final thanks to all my students and owners at Xtreme Couture for allowing me to do what I love.
I am open to any suggestions on how to make the event even more enjoyable next year. Either post your suggestions here or simply email me at samzakula@xtremecouture.ca
Thanks again everyone, and see you all at the Bravado BJJ tournament in Sept!
I was impressed with how smooth/timely this tournament went. Congrats.
Great work, Sam! Very efficient tournament with some exciting competition and great sportsmanship. Looking forward to next year's. :)
I hope this tourney grows man. Awesome venue, location and the guys who ran things.
I had my own personal ref too: Alaina reffed all of my matches and was nice enough to fix someone's pants as they were about to fall off. That was almost full moon in the middle of a bright summer day (check FB for proof).
completely agree, great job sam and crew, Thank-you.
my only thing would be the medals, they are the exact same as the sub-x medals, be more original. Other than that selfish reason i eagerly look forward to next year, same date, same location.

Ohmygod, I acted like I was working with a 3 year old. "Would you like your binky? Did you wash behind your ears?"
Had fun. Hope to make it next time!!! Your purple belt was tough. :)
