At the 100KG+ (Heavyweight) black belt Division.
While waiting for the next Dream event, Sokoudjou bides his time by participating in this year's Winter Nationals. He swept through the competition, the Cameroonian walks through and defeats all of his opponents. This year's Winter Nationals had over 400 participants and was held just last weekend held at the Damien Catholic Private School in La Verne, ca. This is the first of the videos and photos that will be emerging of the event.
Sokoudjou is slated to fight Minowa in the Dream New Year's Eve Super Hulk Finale event.
While I was down in Temecula training, I got to speak with Sokoudjou and was fortunate enough to be able to take a judo class headed by the Cameroonian. Sokoudjou's Judo is superb. His footwork, strength, speed and grip game is spectacular. Training in one of the best Judo Dojos in America, I feel even more blessed to have had the opportunity to train with Sokoudjou.
I wish him the best of luck in his New Year's Eve Super Hulk Tournament finale.
