CheckMat & Tournaments.

Quite a bit of news on the tournament front this evening, but, first things first. After much discussion and thought, Ali has collaborated with the people over at CheckMat to form an affiliation. What does that mean for you? Well, it means that we are affiliated with one of the (if not the) top teams around. CheckMat is lead by Leo Viera, one of the greatest and most cutting-edge Jiu-Jitsu instructors around at this time. Ali will be working with Leo and the people at CheckMat and bringing us those same cutting-edge moves that are being executed out there and bringing home world championship victories. It also means that, from time to time, we will be visited by the team of CheckMat, so that we can all train together for the big tournaments.

In other news, tomorrow is the Best of the West tournament. We won't have many people participating, a few kids and Ricky, but, they need your support nevertheless. If you have the time, make sure you make your way to the tournament and watch some of the awesome fights that are sure to be present. The location of the tournament is as follows:

Long Beach City College
4901 East Carson St.
Long Beach, CA 90808

Also, starting next week, there will be training for the World Championships for a few of our team members. We won't be taking a large team, but, please make sure that you train hard and be there for your teammates. It takes the help of every member of the team to get our team mates in the best shape they can and provide a good, hard-working training environment.

Stay tuned to the A-Team Times for tournament turn-outs and any other breaking news.
