World Jiu-Jitsu Expo Results

     On May 11, 2012 Eliot, Garrett, Kevin, and Jordan traveled down to Long Beach, CA to participate in the First Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Expo on May 12th. The World Jiu-Jitsu Expo featured FREE seminars by Andre Galvao, Roger Gracie, Ronaldo Jacare, Robert Drysdale, Roberto Comprido, Ricardo Almeida, and Roberto Almeido. An IBJJF sponsored tournament, featuring elite competitors from all over. And to top off the evening, Super-Fights featuring Jeff Glover, Caio Terra, Kron Gracie, Victor Estima, Rafael Lovato Jr, Lucas Leite, Bill Cooper, Nino Schembri, Kyra Gracie, Alexis Davi. The event also hosted many vendor's, displaying some of the finest Jiu-Jitsu products available. 
     From El Dorado Hills, Eliot had a bye into the finals, taking Gold in the adult super-heavy brown belt division. "This was a rough week of training for me. I had finals with my Master's program, an injury to rehabilitate, and training was less than optimal. I couldn't have done it without the support of the many people around me. Especially Dr. Petrice from Cambridge Chiropractic really helped me through, thanks everyone!" Eliot also participated in the absolute division, but feel short of the podium with a loss in the qtr. finals.
