In-house Jiujitsu Fund Raiser at BAMF

Deftac recently held an in-house jiujitsu tournament to help a comrade to go to mundials. It’s brotherhood in the works and it actually amazes me to see how these bunch of guys take time from their usual routines to come out and join this in-house tournament.

I have had groups before and I know how hard it was to organize something like this even if it was in-house. I saw familiar faces like Alvin Aguilar – founder of the URCC group, Richard Lasprilla, and WIlly Carlos (also behind URCC) who were the ones who invited me to watch and join them at this day. A pledge of support to our fellow athlete, I showed up.

Parking was jam-packed, and it was lucky for us to find 1 slot free from the gasoline station nearby. I came in with my brother and as we went along, ofcourse people there did not know us and us likewise. But it’s jiujitsu and it’s universal for us fans, and practitioners so it was like watching a ballgame for me.

We caught up with the absolute division and saw some nice white-belt action. They don’t look white-belts though and was actually impressed with how learned these players are. Hope I can start training again soon, and start here at BAMF MMA Center. Also saw familiar jiujitsu aces in the likes of Pichon Garcia, Jerome Lepiten, and Marcus Valda. A really great experience for the MMA Guy.

I got some pictures taken of the action taking place at BAMF, enjoy:
