Nathan Mendelsohn's American Jiu-Jitsu Player Blog: US Open Bronze

Tue, 2011-10-18 22:30 — Nathan Mendelsohn

The 2011 US Open this past weekend was an awesome event, even though I wasn't able to secure the result I had hoped for.

I ended up winning my first fight 5 to 0 and losing my second fight 4 to 2 for a bronze medal. I then went on to fight the open division with a similar result of winning my first match and losing my second.

Hey everybody!

Let's pick up where I left off last time.

After the Rio Open I had to change locations because I was staying with my friend Marcus Antelante who is now traveling to the United States to teach classes in Atlanta. So now I'm here with my Brazilian Brothers Leopoldo and Theodoro Canal in Recreio. Whenver Theodoro travels to Santa Cruz, CA he stays with me and my family and whenever I come to visit Rio he always receives me in his home and takes really good care of me.

Hey everybody!

So as I said in my last post, Ive already been here for a month but i wasnt with consistent access to the internet and so theres some catching up to do.

When I arrived here in Rio de Janeiro, I was picked up from the airport by my friend Douglas Lins, brown belt from GFTEAM and taken directly to Niteroi (the city neighboring Rio de Janeiro) to fight the World Cup! I was tired from the 14 hour flight, but was hoping it was nothing a little Jack3D and a good warm up couldn't fix.
