On Saturday, October 17, 2009, the Rocky Mountain Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (RMBJJF) held it's 4th US Open Invitational tournament in Arvada, CO.  The event was attended by several MMA/BJJ celebrities, including Relson Gracie, Cris Cyborg, War Machine, Frank Lester and Cameron Dollar.  All were on hand to support RMBJJF's effort in raising awareness for BreastCancer.org. A portion of the event's proceeds were donated to BreastCancer.org.

 

The level or participation and competition for the event were equally impressive.  In total, there were nearly three-hundred participants in approximately 190 divisions, inclusive of divisions for all genders, weights, ages and skill levels.

 

When the dust settled, the final Team results were as follows:

 

1st Place - Easton/McMahon BJJ

2nd Place - Zingano/Colorado BJJ

3rd Place - Relson Gracie 

 

1st Place - Easton/McMahon BJJ

Congratulations to all who competed and contributed to such a great event!  A special thanks and congratulations to RMBJJF who not only put together a great event but found a way to raise awareness and funds for a great cause.  We look for more great events from RMBJJF in the near future.
