Tennessee State Grappling Sept. 1st.

Anybody else gonna make this? They combined divisions and weight this year making it 35+ and 200lbs up. This might be a Lily tricky for me in intermediate this year.

First I've heard of it. Can you get me some details?

We have had guys compete in Hatcher's tournament the last 2 years. It is a small tournament and seems to be getting smaller each year. It is by far the worst to compete in if you want to do No-Gi. We had a guy compete last year, and he had no one in his division. Hatcher told him, he could face a guy that was 20 pounds heavier than him or just go home without a refund. So we don't even waste our time with his tournaments anymore.

I randomly competed in a Tenn. St. tourney about 5 years ago. I suppose it may have been the same one. There were a fair amount of people there, though. How many Tenn. St. tournaments can there be?

I'm 'bout to head to the sauna to get these last 2 lbs off then I'm heading to the weigh-ins. I've also heard of alot of fuckery when it comes to hatcher's school and tournaments but this is a tournament that is literally in my back yard, which is a rarity indeed in East TN. Anyone from decatur thinking of coming up? I'd love to meet more of the 10p fam.

And tony, text me when you head up this way.

Will do Chad! We're gonna be there by 9:30 so the kids can get ready. Trust me Michael, I have a long history with Brad Hatcher. My guys were told last year that I was a worthless coach with no business teaching Jiu Jitsu, but the only way to shut em up is to choke em.
