thanks for posting it, I will try to make it to the tournament if all possible. I am 26, is there going to be many others there my age or is it mostly younger guys? What classifies you as a "novice" and are "submission grappling" events the same rules as a BJJ competition?
I train with a group here in Visalia that works under Marcelo Cavalacanti who is part of the Tinguinha association (we don't have an official school, just use a room at a local gym). Most every group in Visalia is associated with Tinguinha (Central Valley Martial Arts, Luis Gonzales, Samurai Dojo). The highest ranked person at my school is a few striped Blue Belt, so we are all just beginners.
