IGJJF Day 1 Report

The day began with well over 100 kids taking the mats. Although the rules were the more traditional 5 minute rules, the matches were action packed as the latest generation took to the mat in the spirit of competition and gave it their all.

The action then continued from the white and purple belts as well as the women's divisions. The star of the day had to be Bill "the Grill" Cooper, who won both the under 181 purple belt division and the absolute division defeating the likes of Andrew "Judo Goat" Smith, Leo Santos, Sean Conley and Jarrod Kwitty.

Considered by many to be the big dance of the sport of BJJ, the Mundials are upon us once again!

Another great day of gi and no gi action in Nashville!

Chris Moriarty wins his division (purple belt over 175 and the purple belt heavyweight)

Ray Casias wins the no gi absolute division.

Nashville MMA wins overall team title.

Nashville is muggy but fun! We'll be out on the town tonight starting at Dan McGuiness, so see you out there and feed me beer!
