Weeks 1 & 2/April 2013 - 10PGS News




BRANDAN CATLIN

Ok so it took me awhile to post this, SO it will be short updates & mostly pictures...First thing in 10PGS news, April 1st Brandan Catlin recieved his Orange belt! Congratulations Player Hater!! Brandan "Player Hater #1" Catlin gets his Orange Belt!

Also guys, remember Brandan & Shaun both have fights May 11th at PBA (Pensacola Boxing Academy). I believe it will be in the evening like most fights. They are full MMA, these are not kickboxing matches. Matt & Sean will be there to corner them just like they do at everyone else's fights. Please come to show your support. I have a lot of confidence in these guys and I want everyone that is able to come cheer them on! If you need help with driving directions, just ask me(TORI) and I'll help you out.  :] 

Also, if you're looking for a recap of the 3/30/13 Throat Punch Ind. Sub. Only Tournament, here's the link! The main pictures of our team are below, if there's one I missed, you can download it at AlabamaMMA.net  3/30/13 Throat Punch Ind. Sub Only Recap

Also, we have RASHGUARDS on the way, get me(TORI) your preorder ASAP! They are really cool, they are long sleeve & we're hoping to get them in before our next tournament on May 18th. 

Info on the May 18th tournament is on the corkboard at the gym AND ALSO, at the front desk there are hand outs that were personally sent to our school for you guys to take home, but here's the link and a little bit about the tournament:

          Ok, so the tournament is called the NewBreed Ultimate Challenge. It is in Nashville, TN.
It's $79 to enter, that covers GI/NO GI, & also a free t-shirt is included. Here's 2 links to the site, if you need more info, there you go. I do know if you register 2 or 3 people at a time you get a discount, SO, if everyone wants to buy their tickets together we can do that, just let me(TORI) know. We have to pre-register by May 12th.
 


Here's the physical address: Lipscomb University, One University Park Dr., Nashville, TN. 
...YES, we know it's a drive so if you would like to go, we're hoping for 2 car groups & we will all split the gas & hotel like our trip to the Demopolis tournament. We will have to leave May 17th, I don't have an exact time as of yet. So far, this is the group we have to compete, I believe: Sean & I, Dyana Lee-Daniels, Chase Hannah, & Chase Kendrick depending on his knee... So if anyone else is down, let us know!!

One more thing, Sean has a big announcement coming up! Be expecting an invite on Facebook by the end of the week! It's very exciting news!! Ok, so I believe this will catch me up on my blogging for the first 2 weeks of April!

The ISOF presents:The Throat Punch Industries Submission Only Grappling Tournament 3/30/13



So today we (10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Gulf Shores), along with Outlaw MMA, & Throat Punch Industries put on our first ever submission only grappling tournament. We had a pretty decent turn out, a lot of tough competitors from schools on the Gulf Coast & upper Alabama. One family actually drove 4 hours for their girls to compete!







Brandan Catlin with his 2 silver medals.
We had a lot of great kids compete, 2 of which got at least 2 medals a piece. The 2 medal winners were Patrick Hall and our very own Brandan Catlin. He almost went for a Twister on a kid! Luckily he had someone to tell him that was illegal in the kids division. Ha!

There were only 4 women to compete. That makes it tough. 2 were closer to heavyweight and the other 2 in the 120 Ib range. Our girls took home a gold and a silver (1st & 2nd place) medal. I learned today that being the small girl you really have to have skills, skills to survive and then spot on technique to win. I was VERY proud of my rolling partner today. Dyana showed a lot of heart and patience in her match, even though she was having a time with it! It was a hard match up. On top of that somehow her nose busted. I'm not sure if it was from her opponent's crossfacing skills or anxiety, but despite the fact that that happened & we had to get her all cleaned up, she kept on after that. That's a fight.





A lot of our guys competed: Chase (Red) Gatlin, Chase Kendrick, Chase Hannah, Sergio Perez, Jeremy Combast, Trey Rushing, Donny Thompson, Scott Thomas, and Mike Morgan.

Everyone did well, especially considering the fact that we were at the gym until 11p.m. last night with some of our guys sweating out the last few pounds they needed to cut. It will almost break you to sweat, work that hard, and dehydrate yourself like that, but they did what they had to.

Sergio Perez, placed 1st in the men's 145 division seen here with his Gold medal.

 Altogether we ended up with 6 Golds, 7 Silvers, multiple absolute medals, and also the team title! Go team! Not to mention how great the learning will be when we get back on the grind Monday. Sean always tells us when we're getting ready to compete that win or lose, you win because you learn either way. So we're ready to start working hard for the next tournament we're putting on. I believe it will be on May 25th at the same place, the Conference Center at the Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama.
