Just 2 weeks away from my second foray into the competitive Jiu Jitsu I am getting anxious to see the competition. The Best of the Best Tournament is help every few months in Omaha by Midamerica Martial Arts of Omaha. This tournament is like any other tournament, teams show up and their team members participates in matches for individual glory as well as team points that could give them the coveted championship.
The tournament in my opinion could be better, the competition is good, but the actual structure of the tournament could use some sprucing up. I don't want to throw stones, I think it is great that someone, anyone is putting together a Jiu Jitsu tournament that is available to all the schools in the region.
This BOTB is looking promising as far as depth of schools that will be competing. According to http://www.bjjomaha.com/ there are 10 schools that are sending fighters to compete. One of which is our very own Roseberry's, which I will represent.
At BOTB 8 I had 4 months of Jiu Jitsu under me and I think I put on a pretty good show, coming in 4th place in my divisions. But this time around I have really been training hard and learning the craft and am looking at getting a medal...Third or higher!
If you are reading this and live in the Omaha area, please, come check out this competition.
