We had another great showing at the Grapplers Quest North American Championships on Oct. 6th 2007, with Ronin Athletics students taking home 2 Golds and 2 Slivers.

Alex Horowitz and Rodney LeConte both took first place in their divisions.

Josh Bonacci and Carlo Chan both took second place and Samir (our blue belt friend visiting from Belgium) took 3rd place in his first time ever competing no-gi at the Intermediate division.

Ryan Elsasser took fourth place after an impressive number of wins in his first ever tournament.

Honorable mention also goes out to:
Sidney Negron
Mbosos Sampson
Trevor Sroka
Roger Dardas (competed in both mens & Intermediate ABSOLUTE division)
David Lu (first competition and our lone gi fighter)
Matt Weber (SLAM-man)

Great work guys!! See you at the next one.

Pics and updates coming soon!
