U.S. Grappling ran a very efficient local tournament. Check out BJJ Revolution instructor Trey Martin’s brown belt match from the event:

Finally, open mat training at the gym was really fun today. I spent the last 18 minutes doing a super long no-gi round with my purple belt, Vince. It was really productive, and made me look forward to the no-gi Pan Ams in October. Can’t wait.
