On the 30th of September, 2018, four groups of blue belts from various academies came together to compete in a quintet tournament with the intention to raise funds for mental health. Grappling for the greater good! Organised by Jiu Jitsu team league, and held at Absolute MMA St Kilda, “The No ACL’s Club”, “Darceacondas”, “The Oilcheckers” and the “Vince Vaugh Flue Choke” faced off in a vastly entertaining series of bouts.
Mike Hye served up a delicious Armenian BBQ on the day and Hannah Gorman worked her creative magic, taking some great photographs of our competitors and spectators. Well done to Nick Hayden on a well organised event for a great cause, to Lachlan Giles as referee for the day, Jamie Selby Pham for scorekeeping and Megan Louise for gatekeeping.
Happy to note that over $1500 was raised for a worthwhile cause! Congratulations to “The No ACL’s Club” for taking out the win! Thank you to all our competitors and everyone who came down and supported on the day.
