A HUGE Congratulations to all thirteen competitors of the March Revolution Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament!  One of my opponents and I talked after our match about the experience gained from tournament.  K.C. Thompson said, “it’s in the unknown where you experience growth.”  I have to agree, as that follows what my coach, Jimmy Thompson always said, “I’ve never seen someone do a tournament and get worse.”  From white- to purple-belt, beginner on up, we all gained experience and picked up some new moves from our matches and friends we’ve made this weekend.  Everyone made me feel honored to be coaching BJJ in Quincy.  While we didn’t all place (your’s truly included), I’m proud of everyone who came through and represented Quincy BJJ and signed up, showed up and gave it their all on the mats:

• Jeremy P. Seda
• Joe Westby
• Greg Martinez – 1st Place in White Belt Masters
• Mike Wallace – 1st Place in White Belt Masters
• Christan Jones
• Gabe Martinez
• Cynthia Ramirez – 1st Place in Beginner No Gi
• Naomi James – 3rd Place in White Belt
• Jace Arnall
• Julian Trejo – 2nd Place in White Belt
• Yordi Trejo – 3rd Place in White Belt
• Joel Arnall
• Ethan Seda

There will be a medal ceremony on Monday, March 11th @ 7:00 p.m. at the Quincy High School Wrestling Room, where the competitors who have placed will have their medals hung up on the wall of Champions!
