The tournament was an exciting two day event with the kids division on Saturday, and most of the adults competing on Sunday. El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu jitsu had three Kids enter the competition and Tyler finished up with a Silver and Aidan finished up with the Gold. Michael fell short of the podium, but had an incredible performance against an eventual medalist. For the kids it was their first tournament competition ever! Congrats to all of them! In the juvenile division Ben won his first match with a leg triangle, and fell short of the Gold by a takedown in the finals. Aside from the last second takedown he had a flawless match, finishing with the Silver. In the Senior division, Gary dominated his way to the Gold, finishing his the match with his favorite lapel choke. Todd claimed his brown belt division with another Gold medal. Congratulations to all the competitors and thank you very much to all the support in the crowd. It was an incredible experience!
