NAGA 2004 North American Grappling Championship: October 2, 2004 - Jersey City, NJ

After only a month of no-gi training with new BJJ instructor Mark Bocek, Shyam and Gil decided to head down to the States and enter the NAGA North American Grappling Championship. It was a long drive, but well worth it. Both Shyam and Gil finished first place in their divisions, both having wins by submission and no points were scored on either of them. It was a huge, but very well orgainzed event with over 1000 grapplers from all over North America competing. Shyam and Gil would like to thank Mark Bocek for his advice and their training partners for helping them prepare.
