Great Job NAGA Competitors! Kristel Wins Gold!!

We would like to let everyone know how proud we are of those who competed this past weekend (11/14/09) at the North American Grappling Association Championships in Newark, NJ.  We had 3 competitors and they all represented the Grapplers Guide extremely well.

img_4269.jpg

Kristel “Mongoose” Roxas had one of her best showings yet.  She placed 1st in the white belt division winning her first match with a shutout and her finals match by an armbar.  Kristel gets better and better every time she steps on the mat and every time she tests herself in competition.

John Niedrich competed in his first ever BJJ competition and had an awesome showing with only 3 months experience.  He won 3 matches competing in both the Intermediate No-Gi division and the White Belt division.  As he trains more and more he’s definitely going to be a beast on the mat and give everyone who steps in his way trouble.

img_4282.jpgJesse Dynak also competed in his first ever BJJ tournament with only 3 months experience.  He competed in the White Belt division and won 2 matches.  Jesse is another student that is doing great in training and is improving at a rapid pace.

We are so proud of all of you!  Keep up the great work and thank you for representing the Grapplers Guide with respect and hard work!

Congratulations Kristel and Jason

We would like to congratulate both Kristel “Mongoose” Roxas and our instructor Jason Scully on their performances at the NY Submission Shootout tournament this past weekend in New York City.

peach1st.jpgKristel placed 1st in the novice womens division securing two of her wins by armbar.  This is her second time placing in a tournament out of the very few she has done.  She has a strong will and drive to get better every time she trains and her love for BJJ radiates to everyone on the team!

Jason placed 2nd in the advanced division winning one of his matches by armbar also.  Be on the look out for Jason on the competition seen as he is looking to hit every tournament he can.  We are very proud of him for not only instructing our student’s but also showing by example and testing himself on the mats.

Great Job Guys!!
