When is it too late to say congrats!?

Gotten a bit behind on my blog entries the past couple of weeks—and failed to mention anything about the TMT results from the 2010 Thailand Open.  I fought in Martial Combat the week before…then traveled to Mumbai India to do a seminar for Total Combat and Fitness Gym…so I wasn’t able to make the trip.

Guess a late Congratulations to Tiger Muay Thai and MMA who took 2nd place during the Nogi Thailand Open Grappling Tournament is better than a never?!  The trophy is the third year in a row that TMT has placed either first or second during the Nogi day of competition. Gi Instructor Andrew Gardineer took over as head coach scoring two silvers in the Elite and Brown Belt categories while I was in India.

Noticeably missing from this years team besides myself were Claire Haigh, Andreas Hesselback, Wiktor Svennson, Ngoo Ditty, and Brayden Summers.  With the addition of those grapplers TMT would have had a good chance at taking home the first place trophy again in 2010.
