GAMMA/BTT Canada holds its biggest grappling tournament ever!!!
With over 120 participants, our no-gi grappling tournament was our biggest ever. Needless to say the place was packed and the grapplers were sweating up a storm. Starting a little late due to the huge amount of grapplers weighing in, once it got started, the action was fast and furious. With over 70 fighters in the beginner division, both sides of the gym were hopping with non-stop action.
GAMMA owner Philip Gelinas and BTT Canada's Fabio Holanda were extremely happy with the turnout, welcoming some of the regular BJJ schools as well as some new ones making their visit to GAMMA for the first time. On behalf of GAMMA/BTT Canada, we would like to thank all of the competitors and we look forward to just as good a turnout at our next event.
