Due to unforeseen
complications with the previously scheduled tournament date, it has become
necessary for me to reschedule the 5th Annual Charles Gracie Invitational
Jiu-Jitsu Tournament. Fortunately, the tournament will still be held at the
same location in Lathrop, California, at the Main Gym of Lathrop High School
located at 647 Lathrop Rd., Lathrop, CA 95330. In my previous e-mail I
announced that the 2012 Charles Gracie Invitational would be held November 4th,
at Lathrop high school. The new and official date of the tournament is now
Saturday, December 15th. By switching to this date we were able to keep the
tournament at Lathrop High School.
The tournament this year is
going to be special for 4 reasons:
1st: We will be adding to our
entry registration team with three Check-in tables, and opening the facility to
entry an hour earlier for the kids and their parents.
2nd: More students than ever
will be competing! The tournament has grown in numbers every year and we are
expecting record numbers yet again.
3rd: Everyone will now have
more time to train and be prepared for the tournament!
4th: This year we will have a
champion of the champion’s belts up for grabs along with some new twists that
will be announced closer to the tournament date!
Due to our tournament being
re-scheduled, belt promotions will be moved from December to Early January
2013! Please keep in mind that this year we will be using the tournament as an
evaluation tool and counting participation towards our belt promotions! The
reason we have decided to make this modification is because tournament
participation is a crucial part of the learning process of jiu-jitsu. All
students who want to be considered for belt promotions are highly recommended
to participate in the tournament!
Lastly, speaking about the
upcoming the tournament and the belt promotion, what better way to sharpen your
game than to take a private lesson? There is no quicker way to improve than to
have a specific weakness you encounter ongoing addressed directly. Ask the
instructors for details. They will be happy to help to make solid lasting
progress in your skills.
Remember, this is a great
opportunity for you to put the extra effort in to your training for the
upcoming tournament and belt promotion. Please join us for another
unforgettable day.
Win or lose, it is, beyond
all else a great experience and a lot of fun. Let’s get ready to rumble!
Best regards,
Master Charles Gracie
