Our Red Dragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition team just fought in the True North Grappling Winter Open Tournament in Edmonton, Feb. 4. Our team of 26 competitors brought home 31 medals in total: 11 gold, 9 silver, and 11 bronze! The team fought really well, we had fighters taking big steps forwards and we always learn from our mistakes in competition. We had a good mix of experienced and first time competitors. One of the highlights of the competition was Brooklyn Jodoin winning all three of her adult women’s blue belt divisions in Gi, NoGi, and Open Weight without getting a single point scored on her! The tournament was held at the Edmonton Expo Centre. Registrations hit full capacity mid November. Due to overwhelming interest they reopened registration and added rings. It was a huge turnout and a well organized tournament. We look forward to sending another team to the next True North Grappling Grappling Championship Summer Open in Edmonton June 24, 2023.
