RONIN ATHLETICS athlete, Erik Ryerson, won 1st Place in the purple belt, master, rooster weight division at the inaugural 2009 IBJJF New York International Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship on Saturday, April 18th!

A number of Team RONIN ATHLETICS athletes came out to CCNY to support Erik (our sole competitor at this event) and the day went perfectly!

The event itself was top-notch, had some incredible matches, and the IBJJF absolutely put on a great competition for gi competitors. Team RONIN ATHLETICS is definitely looking forward to future IBJJF events in NYC!

Congrats, Erik!
