| Kids & Teens Tournament Of Champions! |
 In what was the unofficial kick off to the Grappling-X Championship era, The Kids Tournament Of Champions not only showcased some of the best kids grappling talent in the nation, but it also offered a glimpse of what is to come in 2012. On Saturday November 19th some of the most talented kids and teens on the grappling scene came to Long Beach Polytechnic High School and put on some of the best displays of grappling seen in 2011 at any tournament. Dozens of school were represented and they all put their best on the line. The Fight Lab won the Grand Champion team spot with winning competitors Joseph Cortez, Isreal Olsen, Jesse Morales, Cristian Alber, Brandon Morales, Gabe Varnell and his older brother Luke Varnell. Gracie Humaita Eastlake, A-Team, Ramona BJJ, and Ralph Gracie Chino Hills all represented admirably! We would also like to recognize Devin Pacheo (LVL5), Samantha Hershowitz (Teamquest/Check Mat), and Javier Cardenas (Paragon) for their victories in the advanced divisions. This was truly a great day for Grappling-X and the sports of Jiu-jitsu and submission grappling! |
