NAGA Nashville: Bringing Home The Gold

I want to start off by thanking the people who made my trip to NAGA (North American Grappling Association) possible. Without their sponsorship I would not have been able to accomplish my dream of winning a championship NAGA belt.

Together we won the gold. I hope I made you proud.

It was a long day on Saturday. My parents and I left home at 3 a.m., headed for Nashville. It was a six-hour drive but we finally made it. When I stepped on the mat I was determined to bring home the belt, and I did, winning my first NAGA belt in the no Gi match. I then went on to take the gold medal in the Gi match.

Now it's back to training hard. This Saturday I am competing in the Indiana state Judo tournament. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor please click the sponsorship link at the top of the page.

Again, thank you all so much for your support. It means a lot to me.

Here is the video from the no Gi match.
