Great showing at this weekend's GBCompNet tournament!!!

GB The Woodlands - Sunday, October 02, 2011

We had a great showing with several competitors stepping up to represent our team here at Gracie Barra North Houston this past Saturday October 1st!

Both Kids and Adults did us proud with strong showings from all.  The GBCompNet tournament was unique compared to the local tournaments in that it featured solely on one jiu jitsu team-the Gracie Barra extended family.  Gracie Barra competitors from all over the great state of Texas came by to support.  The atmosphere was very friendly amongst all the competitors and Coaches/Professors.

I would like to stress how pleased I was in not only our students, but all students from the Gracie Barra schools in the behavior they displayed Saturday.  There were a handful of referee calls that under circumstances of another tournament, an argument or fight of some kind would have came about.  The atmosphere was non hostile, and all the students maintained their dignity win or lose.  As I stated in class, it is easy to be a great sportsman when you win, but it takes true character to maintain your level of dignity through a loss.  "Man up" and take responsibility for your performance, win, lose or draw.

Several students placed, amongst those-Hayden Robichaux, Bryan Clarke, Carlos Martinez, & Corey Bacek were a few we had that walked away with the Championship gold.  All students who competed, please send me your name and placing to todd@mmathewoodlands.com so I can compile a complete listing of competitors Saturday.  Please send any pictures you have as well.  I will see you all on the mats.
