Hi all,
Conner competed yesterday in the Charles Gracie Invitational tournament in Tracy (300+ competitors). This was the first competition of any kind for Conner (unlike Kendall who was doing 3-4 sports at this age Conner has been more reserved). He has been doing Gracie (Brazilian) Jiu Jitsu for a few months now and really enjoying himself...and doing very well by all accounts, the instructors are all very impressed by him.
Conner's first match was against a slightly more experienced kid (one belt higher) and Conner completely dominated him for a big win on points. His second fight was against the boy who won his division, again a more experienced (two belts up) and older and larger. Conner did very well avoiding numerous submission attempts surviving to the end of the match, eventually loosing on points. Conner ended up in 3rd place winning a bronze medal (picture attached).
