All,



If you haven’t already heard, TVG’s next event will be held on May 6th (Saturday) and will feature two tournaments (Gi & No-Gi) as well as several superfights. The main event will have Gracie Barra Team Fighter Rodolfo Amaro vs. Andreas “Andyconda” Schmidt. There are two other superfights (Chris Schadek vs. Johannes Weith & Pablo “Peladao”Piedra vs. ????????) with one match TBA later.

Sweet. We have actually become a Gracie Barra affliliate.

Wow. No time limits, no weight limits. So I better start eating like a pig and training cardio like a madman.

I'm not sure this is a good way of increasing overall attendance, though :-)

Hey, I wanted soemthing where folks could argue who's the better fighter without pulling the weight/time limit card all the time. Besides, I'm a little excited to see the main event between Andreas and Rodolfo. Good stuff.

TTT.

I still need one more guy to round out my superfights for the card.

Anyone -75kg please contact if you're interested in a grappling superfight.

Thanks again to Dave for organizing and reffing the tournament. Attendance was higher than I had expected (20 people in no-gi, 14 in gi), things ran smoothly, the reffing was good... nice tournament!

Oh, and I like the idea of a DVD with all fights being prepared by the organizers. Obviously, that wouldn't be possible with events like NAGAs or the PanAms, but if it's feasible, it's great.
