Just got an email from Blaine about the tournament in Atlanta, GA he was at today. Blaine's good friend Josh White set this up and Blaine was excited to attend. Here's his initial report back.
*********
After a long day of fighting (did I mention long?) I won two and lost two in the Heavy Weight Black Belt Division. The only guy that was under my weight was the first match. Everyone else had me by twenty or better.
Fought to a Bronze in the Heavy. More on that later.
In the Open division I did revenge one of my loses from the Heavy to a 290lb Russian Competitor. But then later in the bracket I lost to him by a Wazari. And again in the open Mark Fletcher and I clashed like Titans. Mark is a monster!!
Overall I had a great time. I’m in one piece. And the club is bringing home some more hardware.
Seven hard fought matches and I’m going to find some Ibuprofen and a nap!!!
