My BJJ Club, Kamphuis-Fabricio BJJ Academy organized the Philippine Brazilian Jujitsu Championship and the Philippine National Grappling Championship on March 1 and 2, 2008 respectively at SM Megamall.

I have to miss out the BJJ Competition as this coincided with the NCR Muay Thai competition wherein I competed.  The grappling tournament was held the following day and I was able to watch it as some of my team mates are competing and I have promises to keep, that is to take some pictures of the event (even though my neck and shoulders are sore because of my muay thai match the day before).

Posture Up, Dennis- the guy on top is a business partner and he’s also a lawyer.  He’s almost 40 years old, so who says BJJ is only for the young?
