“Mr. Hiles I would like to thank you for bringing grappling to the Bluefield area. I’m sure the other grapplers in the area are appreciative as well, seems everyone had a great time. I sure hope you hold more events in the area. Thanks!”

Thank you for putting on a great tournament. Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you WVGO for Another great tournament!

“Excellent event ! Thank you Carlos, Butch Hiles and Peter of the ADCC”

“We would like to thank Butch Hiles & the WVGO for having a great event and look forward to many more to come!!”

Thanks Butch for a great day! You guys are the best! Good luck with everything coming up, and see you soon hopefully

My daughter competed in her second tournament at the WV Grappling Open on 3/23/13. She had a great time. She had a couple of tough matches that helped her understand just how tough she really is. She is a student of Jeb Tonkin, at Ground Zero in Bridgeport. I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity for her to find out something about herself.

Fantastic tournament.  My boy had a great time, and told me so several times before we got home.  My first tournament, and I commend you on the totally relaxed environment that you cultivated.  Will definitely be returning.  

Thank you. I had fun man…cant wait for the next one!
