The NZ grappler no gi competition has a low attendance compare to other year.
I do not why but we also had a small team of competitors (4) compare to the 10 that competed at the last Gi Nationals.
Also, I heard that one of the biggest and best team is now boycotting the NZ grappler events.
It is a bit sad to see politics getting in the way of the promotion of the sport.
Hopefully, they will make peace and enter the next year event.
This is the end of the competition season for 2018.
Next year, we will host another inter club before the NOGI nationals. I have extended our invitation to Clinch BJJ for the next inter club. They have similar size club and are keen to get that competition experience.
Laurance won silver medal after losing to a brown belt in the final.
Jay won bronze medal. He would have won the silver but got demoted for a disciplinary foul in the final.
Laurance also won the club cash prize of $100 for the most subs.
If you want to learn and training BJJ, please come down for a free class at either sites (Epsom or Sandringham). All levels welcome
