10th Planet Walnut Creek at ADCC Open and ADCC Trials
Last weekend we made the trek out to Las Vegas to test ourselves and grapple with the best in the world. The ADCC Open and ADCC Trials were held at the West Gate event center in Las Vegas. The ADCC Open runs ahead of the Trials and offers divisions for all levels of grappler as well as kids and masters divisions, executed in the same spirit as the ADCC Trials and Worlds tournaments. The ADCC Trials are a battle for a spot in the worlds tournament, bringing out the best grapplers in each weight class, coach Alex had 256 grapplers in his division.
Coach Chris competed in two divisions of the ADCC Open tournament, the 155 and the 170 divisions, taking second and third place while scoring another dead orchard. Coach Alex participated in the trials and was eliminated in the first round, almost scoring a dead orchard but getting score on in the final seconds. You can watch both of their matches on FloGrappling with a subscription.
10p NorCal White Belt Tournament at 10th Planet Sacramento
Today our white belts stepped out of their comfort zone and competed at 10th Planet Sacramento. 10p Sac did a great job running the event, each participant got at least 2 matches and got appropriate opponents.
These in-house competitions are a great way for 10th Planet students to gain that ever important mat time under pressure. You do not know what it will feel like to be in a situation until you find yourself in it. This is one of the great things about 10th Planet Northern California.
In-house competitions serve as a stepping stone for those who aspire to compete at a higher level. They provide valuable experience competing with similarly skilled individuals, allowing you to refine your competition strategy and build confidence before venturing into external tournaments.
We had participants from 10th Planet Sacramento, Stockton, Walnut Creek, Daly City, Oakland and San Mateo. Not only is it a great way to get competition experience but also a great way to meet your Jiu Jitsu...
Alana takes first in the Teen division with 2 submissions!
Everyone who has met her knows how hard of a worker Alana is. Not everyone may know that she is also a stellar student at school as well as a wrestler. It is great to see her hard work pay off!
Sunday October 22 she went down to Jiu Jitsu World League in San Diego and came out champ of her division with two submissions, and arm lock from guard and a belly down rear naked choke.
