Team IMPACT brings home Gold from U.S. Grappling tournament in multi divisions! Competitors ranging from 8 years old through the teens and adult divisions stepped on the floor on a mission to have fun. Amoung the team even the owner and founder of IMPACT, Guro Ervin Quintin, makes his debut as a grappling challenger that resulted placing first in Men’s 30+ No Gi divsion, Men’s 30+ No Gi Absolute division and third in Men’s 30+ Gi Division.
We are ultra proud of everyone to see their training and hard work shined through in each match. Great attitudes and sportsmanship in every aspect of the only two results that matter in competition. You’re either winning or you’re learning. It is in that true martial art spirit that resulted in Team IMPACT’s 18 medals!
Special thanks goes out to Professor Carlos David Oliveira. Running back and forth from both far ends of the venue to help the competitors as much as possible, must of been tiring!
