North American NABJJF No-gi Tournament, Sun Dec 4

Awesome Tournament! Since they were in the same division, Per agreement at the beginning of the week, if they meet in the finals, Armando will bow out to Ray (Higher Rank), if they meet in the finals. Ray walks with the first place medal and Armando takes second!

Ray and Armando both shined! It was a small tournament, very well organized and run but still small, Ray and Armando both only had one match apiece. Armando had two matches before the finals but his second guy didn't make weight. The matches were well fought!
Ray gets the women and gets the gold!




Armando ready!








Ray and his honey, April!







Armando gets the win in Overtime! Shows tremendous heart!





Ray gets the win against a Stud!







Armando and Family, Isabel and Vanessa!







Armando in Action!






A very happy Ray and Armando! "It's all about respect and Team!"






The top 3 on the medal Podium



Awesome!
Marco, Armando, Ray and yours truly
