WVGO 4/1/17 Itinerary

Weigh-in Information

Competitors can weigh-in Friday at 8:15P-9:15P OR Saturday from 8A-10A at the tournament location. You can do either or and do not have to do both.

Competitors do NOT have to weigh-in with their gi on

Itinerary and Parking

We will start with the No Gi Advanced Money divisions. However, we will start with all gi competitions following that, and will allow the advanced competitors time to rest.

Kids/teen gi will start immediately following the cash divisions and we will run them on their own mats. The adults and youth will typically start with the highest belt and we will work down from there.

This same system will apply for the no-gi competitors as well.

The first matches should start at 11A and will follow the rules meeting at 1030A.

Parking

There is some construction in the parking lot. However, there is parking to the left of the construction and behind the building.

Sports Fest 2016

On Saturday, August 20th, 2016 Charleston, West Virginia will, once again, host the official state Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling State Championships as part of the “West Virginia Games.” The WV Games is a huge event that takes place on Magic Island, which is located on the Kanawha River in the capital of West Virginia and offers a scenic backdrop to a flurry of athletic competitions and events. This is a family friendly event and we encourage all of our competitors to bring their friends and families so they can enjoy all of the other events and activities during the tournament.

Besides the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling State Championships, the WV Games will also feature several family friendly sporting events from all around the state and country.

The Upcoming ADCC Super Fights Are Amazing!

The Olympics of Grappling return to Charleston, WV with the best Super Fights the state, and region, has ever seen!

Many want to “talk” about being the best, but the proof is in the talent and the results. The ADCC has consistently provided the world with the best grappler’s and tournaments for many years now, and this year will be no different. Do NOT miss these incredible athletes showcase their skills in gi and no gi action!

Ricardo Almeida VS Michael Mihas

Ricardo Almeida is one of ADCC’s most accomplished athletes. He has fought in Pride, Pancrase, the UFC, and is a black belt under the legendary Renzo Gracie.

He holds many grappling titles and has victories over many of the other top grapplers in the world such as: Josh Barnett, Rigan Machado, Dean Lister, Vitor Shaolin, Comprido, and many others.

Michael Mihas, also known as “Mr. Jiu-Jitsu”, across the internet is a black belt under Marcello Monteiro. He has competed since the mid 90’s and owns several grappling titles regionally and nationally. He is looking to make his mark by beating a legend.

Nikki Sullivan VS Amanda Leve

Nikki Sullivan is one of the best grapplers around. She is an ADCC Pro Trials Winner, NoGi Pan winner, and a multiple time IBJJF medalist. We know that she will put it all on the line and that is why we are excited to have her in the first women’s super fight in WV history.

Amanda Leve is being called “The Next Big Thing” by many in the grappling and MMA community. She routinely competes against, and beats, male competotors. She has won numerous NAGA, Grappler’s Quest, and IBJJF titles and had an epic 20 minute match with UFC superstar Cat Zingano while she was still in High School!

Both of these ladies have won the NoGi Pans and are expected to put on an amazing show for all of the fans!

Tom DeBlass is one of the most respected grapplers and trainers in the world. He is a former Bellator and UFC fighter with an impressive grappling record as well.

Tom is a NoGi world champion, a Pan American champion, an ADCC champion, and owner of several other world titles. It’s really hard to find many people as accomplished as he is in his weight class.

Noah DeVore has been making waves on the grappling scene for awhile. He is definitely an upcoming star but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t accomplished a lot already. He won the ADCC Nationals and followed that up by winning several cash tournament across the east coast.

Noah is looking to show the world who is after this ADCC!

Dante Rivera VS Jesseray Childrey

Dante Rivera is an Ultimate Fighter 7 competitor, a UFC fighter, a Bellator fighter, and a black belt under Ricardo Almeida. He has won several NAGA titles, Grappler’s Quest titles, and many more.

Jesseray is hungry to show the world he is a force to be reconned with!

Christina Linn VS Maddalyn Bean

For the first time ever, we will feature two youth super stars in an orange belt super-fight.

Christina “Lil-Bit” Linn comes from Team Ribeiro in Virginia and she has been tearing it up in competitions everywhere. She is making a big making a big name for herself and we are proud to have her showcase her skills for you!
