pan asian international grappling games in manila
One of the bigger events in the region lately, Pan Asian International. Held in the Mall of Asia in Manila, Phillipines. The event attracted over 2,000 spectators.
And as usually when the team crashes a party they get all the hot bitches! Team MMA Thailand won 19(!) medals bringing only 9 fighters and earning nearly 30 MORE team points than any other team, and secured the overall Team Trophy for the nogi grappling challenge.
Highlights of the weekend included
- Jason Saggo submitting all 10 opponents he faced during his two days of competition.
- TMT won EVERY “Absolute” division (no weight class) taking the gold for the beginner, Intermediate, and Advance absolute divisions.
- Head Trainer Ray Elbe winning the Advanced No Gi over 79 Kilo division
- Cody Stevens impressive gold medal run, submitting all his opponents but one.
- Jonny getting his signature North South Choke.
