Colorado State BJJ Championships

On Saturday May 7th Team Infinite traveled to Colorado Springs to compete at the 2011 Colorado State BJJ Championships. Team Infinite competitors ranged in age from 8 to 44, male and female, but what all of our competitors had in common was that EVERYBODY fought with amazing heart, had great technique, and were excellent representatives of GRACIE JIU-JITSU!

The majority of our competitors medaled, and overall Infinite MMA took 4th in the State as a team. As many gyms across the state combine their teams with teams from other gyms, Team Infinite is proud to have made it to the top 5 as a single location team. That pride however, pales in comparison to the pride we feel in our students.

In a state loaded with BJJ talent not only did our students do extremely well in their divisions, but they did extremely well in rising to exceptional challenges. We had girls that had to fight boys, men in their mid 40's have to face men 14 years younger than them, teenager boys with less than a year of training having to face opponents with over 5 years of training, and teenage girls competing in the adult women's divisions. These challenges are above and beyond the challenges presented in normal bracketing, and we couldn't be more proud of our students for rising to them.

Congratulations Team for an exceptional showing at the 2011 Colorado State BJJ Championship!!
