I can't wait to watch all the matches. Looks like Chicago 10p was on a mission. Passing looking very nice!

Awesomeness to the 10th degree!!

Mike Okkema's Second match. This was his first time competing but he still entered the beginner division since he has been with the team for a little over a year.

I was hesitant to compete for a while, but this was an amazing experience. I can't wait to do it again, so many things I want to improve.

These guys repped Like mad men, I'm honored to share the mats with them

For alot of these guys it was their first comp and they handled it like warriors. They never for a moment gave up or lose heart when in bad spots or out of energy, went for and got takedowns, landed a good amount of subs, and hepped the system hard all along. Love this fam ;]

Super proud of all my Monsters that threw down. We were plagued with injuries at the end of the season. I broke my hand, Spica broke a rib, Alex dislocated his shoulder(that was fun putting that thing back in), Gus refucked his knee, Brian fucked his shoulder in a car accident, and Dan fucked his shoulder. Next year will be even crazier at comps with my animals and myself back in the mix.
