Mike Fowler and JT Torres Close the Tokyo Open Black Belt Absolute Division

Well the Tokyo Open has come and gone.  At the end of the day both Mike Fowler and JT “Spiderman” Torres took the GOLD in their black belt brazilian jiu jitsu divisions.  The guys have been having very challenging brazilian jiu jitsu training and it’s paying off.

Although it’s the off season, right now they are out trying to get as much experience as possible.  Blue Belt competition team member Frank “The Crank” Camacho won his division to bring home the GOLD also.

Being all the way in Japan, both Mike and JT jumped into the Black Belt Absolute division, after some grueling matches, one of which saw JT battling a HUGE GIANT in a battle of a life time, in the end JT prevailed!

Both Mike and JT made it to the finals of the open division, as normal they flipped a coin and JT won the coin toss to receive the GOLD. At the Miami open Fowler won the coin toss. 

Everyone needs to get into the gym and work on your technque during this next phase of training.

Go Team Lloyd Irvin
