Jiu-Jitsu By The Bay, March 2012



On March 24th, 2012 The City BJJ team competed at Jiu-Jitsu by The Bay, hosted by Sergio Silva (TeamSilvaBJJ.com). The tournament was jam packed with excitement, with a few of our City BJJ competitors giving outstanding performances. The first competitor of note, was Chanda Kim, who placed third in her division after an impressive 1st match submission by Rear Naked choke. Next, a new student, Christian Espinosa took Silver in his division, showing off his wrestling ability, along with his newly acquired Rear Naked Choke proficiency. Christian did not stop on the 24th however, he took Gold with 2 Rear Naked Chokes at the Urijah Faber Capital Open Grappling Championships a few weeks later. The story of the day belongs to one Gregory Fuoco, who turned in three submissions (Triangle/Armbar, Straight Ankle Lock, and Kimura) when he was disqualified for accidentaly neck cranking his opponent with a Gogo-Plata. The tournament was a great time, and the highlight Video can be seen above!
