Team Yemaso went out and represented the team very well at the American Nationals IBJJF tournament.
Professor Torregrosa had the following to say about the experience:
From Professor Marcos Torregrosa’s own Facebook page:
Small team, BIG results! I had a blast this weekend; I reffed both days and fought my division and the absolutes in both gi and no gi. I came home with two division GOLDS and a silver and bronze in no gi and gi absolutes respectively. I am extremely proud of my team and very happy to have placed our mark on American Nationals! To celebrate we went to an amazing buffet and ate like absolute pigs. Thank you Shoyoroll for keeping me fitted with the best gis. I LOVE my competition gi! To Wartape thanks guys, my hands take a serious beating and your athletic finger tape has no equal, period. Thank you to Defense Soap for keeping me clean with the fantastic soaps! I love the shower gel and take it with me everywhere I travel! Thank you guys; I am very fortunate to have you backing me up. To #TeamYemaso good job guys! We came with about 10 competitors and took 8th as a team overall! That is HUGE, guys congrats! See everyone back on the mats! Osu.
