Me and another catch guy are going to watch (to see what's up). I would participate if I had enough time to train. Right now I would have to fight at Super Heavy...Uh no thanks. I have enough problems with the 300 pounders in class. With training I would aim for the 189 lbs. class. I was talking to some guys from New Breed BJJ and they said they have a bunch of guys going. I think they won the whole thing the last few years.
i had a ton of fun and ended up placing 3rd in my division. i was scared at first because i was the yougest and smallest. heres a video of my 2nd match out of four total. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HkCso61r9oI&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HkCso61r9oI&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Nice; I think I saw a few of your matches if I recall correctly, since there was a young guy in a grey shirt who grabbed for rubber guard in multiple matches.
My gym was there...New Breed Chicago. Overall I thought NAGA did OK compared to the previous NAGA I went to. I was in Masters White Belt and No-Gi as well as Mens White Belt 149.9.
