TESTIMONIALS!
"I'm currently a Purple Belt under Matt and Nick Serra. This is by
far the best experience I had at a tournament. The promter is
super organized and an awesome host. He went out of his to make
everyone comfortable and aware of their bracket times...When he
said you'd be up in 15 mins, you bet you'd be going on in 15 mins....
It was nice to see the intimate setting with people actually
staring contently at each match cheering their teammates on rather
than badgering and insulting a bad ref call. Everyone there (both
competitor and official) was super cool.
Here's a unique experience: How often do you get to roll with the
guy you just fought directly after a tourney match? Never?! Well,
guess again... I was able to pick the brains of many guys from
different schools on different techniques and tricks... How cool
is that! Try that at a NAGA after waiting around all day.
I couldn't recommend this tourney enough to all of my teammates
more. I just wish they would do it more often! Rest assure Team
Serra will have an even bigger showing at the next one! Thanx again
and everyone for an awesome time!"

"My name is Preston Gagg, I'm the Director of Top Control Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu in Sparta NJ. I train with Jay Hayes of NJUnitedMMA. The
Challenge Grappling event was definitely a worthwhile experience.
It's a great benefit to the sport of BJJ to have this tournament
come into existence. It clearly isn't being held for monetary gains,
as the fee is so low. Having all the competitors preregister is an
enhancement to the athletes because they can know what to expect
before they arrive at the venue. I took my team there and would
absolutely do it again."
-Preston Gagg
"I just wanted to say the competition you held was extremely well
done. As a beginner who has never competed before, I felt very
comfortable with not only signing up but also competing. The
competition was a great one to start with, but I also watched a
teammate compete who was experienced and competed in the advanced
division and I could tell he liked the whole competition. The best
part of the competition was the schedule! Probably the most
important aspect of the entire competition and you nailed it! I
knew exactly when I had to warm up and when I had to compete. THe
atmosphere was also excellent but that was most likely due to how
comfortable everyone was because of the way it was run. The
competition was a great experience for novices all the way through
to experts. Thanks for the great work!"

"I've been to other grappling tournaments in the past and while
competitive grappling is a huge part of my life, these tournaments
are filled with more lowllights than highlights. Scrambling to
create brackets, lack of adequate communication, significant time
delays (even while many mats are still open), are all things I've
encountered at other touraments. At the Challenge, there was none
of that. Brackets were all posted when we arrived, competitors
merely had to check in and weigh in. All divisions started on
time, the mats were always busy working. There was a huge warm-up
area, the atmosphere was awesome, there was ample viewing area to
watch the matches. The rules meeting in the morning was very
comprehensive and intimate enough to answer all questions and the
judges were spot on. I plan to compete in every Challenge
Grappling Tournament. Great job Challenge staff"
-Russ Sommers
As a competitor who has participated in NAGA, Grappler's Quest,
and the Renzo Gracie Invitational tournaments, the Grappler's
Challenge was a amazing event. The Grappler's Challenge had very
friendly staff, great ring space (unlike most other tournaments)
and a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. The price is unbeatable,
and it is a great way to see where you are in the tournament
sphere if you have been absent for an extended period of time,
or if you are just starting off! Another great thing about this
tournament is that it ran completely on time, and all the competitors
had amble time to warm-up before their matches, and knew how long
they had towait in between their matches, unlike most tournaments
when it could be an hour before your 2nd match!
Thanks again!

I have a couple of years grappling experience. I would def compete
again, and come more prepared next time. I feel you learn from
losses so it was an extremely valuable experience none the less.
Thank you, I will see you soon

My name is Dan Hayes and I train at The Grappler's Guide Academy.
I have been training for about 4 months and The Challenge was my
first competition experience. The Challenge provided a great
competition and a great environment. I look forward to competing
in more tournaments now that I have taken The Challenege.
