IT IS OVER!

The World Championships were amazing...

Ricky won 5 matches 

To claim his second World Title!

As you know he has a damaged elbow. Not broken but probably torn ligaments and muscle. After the break he had a Brazilian National Champ who was giving Ricky all he could handle until Ricky Broke his foot off! That advanced him to the finals where he had the toughest French man I have ever seen. This guy won the European ADCC championships and was every bit as good as Ricky. they battled back and forth for 41/2 minutes until Ricky managed to take his back and battle for second hook and then he rear naked choked him! It was a tough match, two very evenly matched up guys! We had Jeff Monson beat Brandon Ruiz in an amazing heavyweight battle! One of the best I have seen those two guys give in a while! They both used very technical Jiu Jitsu and Monson played an amazing bottom guard for a big man. Matt Sanchez tapped his opponent from Great Britain by Darce Choke. Matt No-Gi JJ has become deadly. This guy tapped everybody! Well Done Matt! The upset of the night was Jacob Volkman beating 3 time world champion from Brasil! Another upset was when Felicia Oh of US lost to French gal in finals! USA Won the whole thing, France took second with an amazing group of grapplers! Canada took third. Europe just served notice to the world that they are getting tough! The Italians were tough as well Great Brittan. Spain was also very tough! Grappling is changing before our eyes!

Today they are going to run a Gi tournament. We will not be competing today because of injury to Rickys arm. I am going to post a bunch of additional pictures of event and last two video's of match's hope you enjoy them!

Goodbye for this year!
