All Japan No-Gi Championships.

Hey all,

Sanni in Japan here.

2 weeks ago, I competed in the All Japan No-Gi Championships. (Expert Open Weight)
Ended up taking second to a coach from the same gym as myself(black belt), but was able to take out an MMA fighter and a brown belt along the way.

Here is one of my matches:

At the same tournament, I lost to a purple belt in the gi.. I think this proves the effectiveness of our system and the differences between the sports in general.
Unfortunately, in Japan the Gi is seen as the "origin" of Jiu Jitsu, so I am kind of stuck in a sense because I am too far for Eddie to promote me(I dont blame him because brown belt is a big deal) and my Jiu Jitsu coach not using my No-Gi skills to evaluate me.

Anyway, I will continue working hard to bring home as many gold medals and reputation for the system and myself as I can, and I have a feeling once I finally do get promoted it will be that much sweeter.

Thanks!

Sanni

Dope match dude... you are a hero for representing the 10 out there.

I look forward to seeing our mentality expand to Japan and the rest of the world.

I wonder how long it will take for the sacred plant to become more accepted... especially after it becomes legal in America.

Hespect! Great work!

Good stuff man.
