Hello Mr Hiles,

I am Thomas Sisemore’s father. I’m sure you recall spending a few
minutes with my son during the day at Saturday’s WVGO Breast Cancer Benefit. Anyway, I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for
the manner in which the event was conducted. From the people who
attended to the ethical grappling to the manner in which you and your
family managed the event, it reminded me of when I was a boy in Texas
competing in outdoor motocross in the late 70’s. Everyone there was
there to have a great time and of course everyone wanted to win, but
no one seemed to be there for anything but good, old fashioned fun.
I’m not eloquent enough to adequately express how impressed I was with
the whole thing. You simply did a great job and I have nothing but
respect for you and all in attendance. Those are my kind of people.

Bill Sisemore

Testimonials

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.
