We enjoyed watching our students compete at the IBJJF Denver Open last weekend. The hard work and extra training of our competitors paid off with CTA members from several academies (near and far) taking medals in several divisions. Competition isn’t for everyone, and we would especially like to recognize all the coaches and students who did not compete but took the time to support those who did.
Tournaments are exciting, but the real work is done in coming to class each week and helping yourself and your training partners grow.
See you on the mats!
