Congrats to Jory Malone, Arkansas' First World Champion! Jory also got 3rd in the Men's Brown Belt and Ray Borel got 3rd in his division. Congrats to everyone who competed on your hard work and dedication. Big Big thanks to Clinch Gear, Prosource, Applebee's and Renegade Apparel for sponsoring us! We can't say enough about these companies and their products. They're good people! They wouldn't let Jory wear his Clinch Gear shorts during his matches, but they couldn't stop him from wearing them on the winner's podium! Jory is now Arkansas' First No Gi World Champion! Jory also got 3rd in the Mens, losing his match for 2nd on the ref's decision to a Brazilian. Unfortunately the crowd all thought he won, but they don't count. He injured his knee in his first match of the Men's division escaping a foot lock, but pressed on to grapple several other matches after reformulating one hell of a one-legged game plan. Ray had an excellent performance and got 3rd in his Division. He showed great movement, speed and power in his technique and lost by a point. He has made considerable improvements to his game and really looked great out there. Ended up coaching and didn't get too many pics of the match. Bianca and Diojone from Macieo, Brazil were there. They both got first in their respective divisions. Great Job! Scott stepped up in the blue belt division, wanting to get all he can in before leaving for Iraq. He has also made considerable improvements. He out-scored his second opponent when he got caught with hardly any time left. Nonetheless a great performance on his part. I did not get to take many pics of his match b/c I had to coach. Jennifer looked great. She made a strategical error by sitting to guard that earned her opponent sweep points, putting her opponent ahead with hardly any time left to come back. Next time well make sure that doesn't happen. We had a great time at the Competition. Ray and Scott were having cravings and dreams of chocolate cake. We stuffed ourselves at Chili's afterwards. Before it all started we visited Hermosa Beach again and took a little walk shopping and sightseeing. We also visited the OTM fight shop.
