Today was the Subfighter No Gi Summer Challenge tournament. We didn't have any students competing this time around, so I got to go just to enjoy myself, hang out with friends and cheer for competitors from the other Subfighter gyms.

So Saturday, I went to Studio City for another CXF MMA show. But that morning, there was an in-house nogi Jiu Jitsu tournament at Adam Lynn's Subfighter MMA in Laguna Hills as well. It was a 3-years experience and under tournament with one big rule difference from other tournament — competitors were allowed to use the cage wall for takedowns in their matches.

A follow up to yesterday's Affliction Tip Tuesday.

This week, MMA fighter Max Demian demonstrates his Trip Sweep technique with Subfighter MMA Head Instructor Tracy Hess at Affliction headquarters.

So the day after the Knockout Fights, we're in Dana Point for the Subfighter No Gi Spring Challenge. Another hectic tournament for us as usual with over a dozen students competing in kids, womens, mens, beginner, intermediate and advanced. Gabriel Green also had his CSULB film school buddies at the tournament filming for their senior thesis.
