2008 PHILIPPINES BJJ & NO-GI INTERNATIONAL

I have the results from this past weekend with a quick commentary from Stephen Kamphuis, the organizer of the tournament. -Luke


I would like to thank all the Local and International Teams who supported this year event.

A special mention should go to the Singapore contingent who brought in a large Junior Team of competitors as young as 7 years old. Beside some great individual results the Singapore team also won the Team throphy against a team of three children ages 7-9 from the Philippines. It was a great experience for the kids and we hope this will lead to future events between the two countries.

There where some great fights during the comp with some divisions topping 25 competitors and the Absolute White belt division coming in at the cut off mark with 32 competitors.

The standard is improving at each comp and the teams are growing. This year we had several special awards for each day:
Agip Most technical Fighter
Agip Most promising Junior ( BJJ Comp Only )
Agip Best match of the day ( Basic and White belt)
Agip best match of the day ( Blue and Intermediate )

T-Shirts donated by Crossface where given to the No Gi Absolute winners.
We would like to thank our sponsars :
Pocari and Alaska gave out free samples during the event:
Pepsi , MTG, Pocara, Alaska Yoghurt , Top Ten , AGIP, Daedo, Activ, Dax

The event was co presented by SM Mall of Asia , Sports Central and KMA Fitness and Martial Arts.

Sincerely,
Stephen Kamphuis
