March 9- Team Jorge Gurgel brings home Gold from Arnolds Grappling Classic!
This weekend can be described as an absolute whirlwind of activities. Between Weigh-ins, competitions, watching the UFC fight and constant mass of people moving around between Arnold Activities it was difficult to keep anything organized. The team came through and was the over all winner of the Grappling Classic. Congratulations to the to all those who competed whether you won or lost. Remember The purpose of competing is to make yourself better through learning, winning is secondary to competing!
The Team JG Cincinnati High School boxing team also competed at the Arnolds boxing tournament. We had 12 Fighters competing. 9 fighters made it to the finals winning 4 Golds and 5 Silvers! Good job guys!
Congratulations to Rich Franklin on his win over challenger Jason McDonald! He put on a heck of a show and look forward to the UFC possibly coming to Cincinnati this October!
