The Fifth Annual Charles Gracie Invitational Jiu-Jitsu Tournament has been scheduled for Saturday, December 15, 2012!

I wish to formally announce the 5th Annual Charles Gracie Invitational Jiu Jitsu Tournament has been scheduled for Saturday, December 15th. The competition will be held in Lathrop, California, at the Main Gym of Lathrop High School located at 647 Lathrop Rd., Lathrop, California 95330. Lathrop is near Tracy (8 minutes away from Tracy). The date is certain and all the students from the Charles Gracie Network need to begging preparation for the competition.
The first and most important objective I have is that every single student in every Charles Gracie Academy and affiliated schools, from the newest beginner to the most accomplished practitioner, be part of this event. To bring their family and friends to the celebration is the objective of this tournament. The competitive environment in lieu of the welcoming and warmth on the family atmosphere is not to take away from this celebration.
But, the Charles Gracie Invitational Jiu Jitsu Tournament will forever be about more than who submitted who. It will be about the friendship we all share in the academies, the love we all share for the art what it has done for us all as individuals.
Please join us for another unforgettable day. Win or lose, it is, beyond all else a great experience and lot of fun. Let's get ready to rumble!
I really hope to see you and your family at the tournament.
Warm regards,
Charles Gracie
