This past weekend was Grappler's Quest in Las Vegas. The weather was pretty pleasant, and not as busy as I originally thought it would have been, since it was Cinco de Mayo weekend. 11 people went to Vegas, and out of the 11, 5 competed: Mike, Rene, Roger, Jeremy and Steve.
The tournament felt a lot longer than usual though, and the day seemed to just drag. It started at 10AM with Children, Teen's and Women, and the Men's divisions started around 1PM, so we were waiting around for quite awhile. =( The last divisions to go were the BJJ Blue Belts, and that was around 7PM! You can just imagine how tired these guys were after all that waiting. Anyway, here's some results in case you were curious! One of Mike's videos is down below.

Mike competed in the Advanced No-Gi division, and won 2nd place out of 8 guys. He did awesome! I was so proud =]
First match: Mike over Santino (Santa Fe BJJ): Submission; Kimura
Second match: Mike over Chris Holdsworth (Cobra Kai): Submission; Footlock
Third Match: Francesco over Mike: by advantage
I will have to double check with Mike for Rene, Roger, Jeremy and Steve's results, but they all did a great job!
We will be heading to Best of the West in a couple of weeks, so it's back to training hard again!
