Hey, Butch. Great tournament today. I love the location…the loft-style setting, the crowd around, the good music…very real, very interactive.

Great tourney Butch.. My guys enjoyed it, was run very smooth.

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.

“Great job putting on the tourney Butch, see ya at the next one…”

“You guys have done so much for the community. Keep up the good work!”

Great tournament!
