Grappling Industries Tournament?

[Thycidides]

It was US Grappling Maryland held in Rockville on August 17, 2013. I remember that match.

Thinking back on that US Grappling purple belt scene in that area around that time, there were a lot of tough competitors that came out of there. Probably at least half of my matches at purple belt the opponent ended up doing well in the same division at Pans or Worlds. I still see Bagels all the time at IBJJF tournaments, and he is doing great at black belt now it seems.

That's really cool US grappling has such a good rep

Bagels is still a brown belt actually, he's one of my coaches/ training partners/

Oh my bad. I could have sworn I saw something on FB with him competing at black belt recently, but looks like it was still at brown belt.
