New Jersey State BJJ Tourney Results

Congrats to all of our competitors for stepping up to the plate this past Saturday. We were represented by Miriam and Ray Nieves, Steve and Dan Skerritt, Sang Son, Dan Peoples, Mike Governale, Jason Barnoski, Rob Weir, Dave Terhune, Matt DeNardo and Dennis Ryan.
We had a good showing, taking home 8 top three places. Dennis put on a technical display in the Advanced Open Class fighting and defeating his first two opponents handily. Each of them having over 50 lbs on him. He then faced a monster of a man in the finals who easily weighed close to 400lbs and lost a close one by a couple of points. Dave Terhune pulled out a Silver medal in his division as well. Dan Peoples and Rob Weir both won there divisions. Dan submitted both of his opponents with keylock/straight armlock combos. Ray Nieves had some good matches and fought his way to a bronze in his division. Finally, Steve Skerritt and Jason Barnoski split the Bronze in their division and Miriam took the Bronze in her division as well.
Good Job guys.
