THE 1ST ANNUAL CHARLES GRACIE INVITATIONAL JIU-JITSU TOURNAMENT 2008!
Saturday, April 26th!!!
With this year being the anniversary of my tenth year in America I want to announce a special event to celebrate my coming to this country to bring the art of my family to my students. I wish to formally announce the First Annual Charles Gracie Invitational Jiu-Jitsu Tournament 2008. The competition will be held here in Northern California, on Saturday, April 26th, in the Main Gym of Williams Middle School located at 1600 Tennis Lane Tracy, California 95376. The date is certain and you need to begin preparation for the competition.
For some time I have been interested in conducting a closed tournament for the academies in the Charles Gracie Network. At the same time, to add an element of hospitality I want also to invite certain members of the academies of those who have been my long term friends and associates in the world of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I expect the event to be a big event.
I expect over 300 athletes and many spectators, family and friends with exciting matches and special events. I hope to make this a family friendly celebration of sportsmanship among friends.
This event will be an opportunity to meet, and enjoy the competition of, all my students and their families, as well as the fine instructors, from all my academies, but also those of my closest friends. An event in which everyone can test the skills that all have learned and earned from the instructors in our world class academies.
In the interest of making this a big success for everyone I want every student to know that I strongly urge all the students in the Charles Gracie Network to participate in this event. I’m counting on you to be there.
Let’s get ready to rumble! Charles Gracie
