while on the same weekend Justin “The Shocker”Cruz and PXC’s Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Roque Martinez of the Spike22Academy will be heading to Japan to compete in DeepImpact on December 19^th at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.

 Impact! Its been a  tremendous time of accomplishment and a standing ovation for the MarianaIsland combat sports. Guam is making big noise in Philippine MMA as a big congratulations go to Justin Cruz for defending his title properly to give te Philippine National Wushu and URCC Champion Mark Sangiao his firstMMA career loss with a guillotine choke 3minutes into the first round of their main event match in URCC 18Redemption last weekend. While a few hours away inSaipan Guahan Top Team’s John Tuck made short work of the also formerly undefeated URCC 70kg. Champion Eduard  Folayang with a right cross knockout only 15seconds into the first round to secure the CNMI’s first lightweight championship title in the successful event of GuerillaWarfare3:Confrontation in Saipan.

Don’t stop the cheering just yet because its massive news for the islands in overseas Brazilian Jiujitsu with Purebred/Lloyd Irvins true landmark performance in The TokyoOpen International BJJ tournament. The collevtive performances of Guam and Saipan, of Men and Women,of Mixed Martial Artists and former high school wrestlers, one Olympian, of veterans and up and comers, from white belt to black belt, Team Purebred Lloyd Irvin Jiujitsu is returning with a bundle of bronze, silver, and gold medals to secure the highest regard from Japans BJJFJ organization in last weekends event.

Hats off to Guams newest addition to our growing supply of BJJ Black belts. After multiple gold medal performances overseas, after a winnng record in a short but fruitful MMA career, and as an imminent good example of a respectful and respectable martial artist in martial arts compeition–Terrence Aflague has joined the ranks of our very limited but growing supply of BJJ blackbelts

These are definitely good times for Mariana Islands combat sports and its inspiring to see that despite defeats, our efforts have multiplied to fuel ambitions that have grown over thousands of miles in ventures of athletics, honor, glory, and spirit.

Despite comeptitive martial arts imperfections, we can be sure that many would agree that our advances to excel abroad has serviced the islands not only in showcasing to a broader audience our fighting Spirit; but as a by-product has effectively advertised our islands to a growing world audience as a training and competition paradise destination that is leaving people with opinions of Guam as a type of Martial arts Utopia.

 In the process of sending our athletes to compete oversease and of soliciting and properly hosting off island competition and media, we are finding that we have been receiving increasingly good opinions of Guam  that has reflected a light that is helping our athletes and fans to the deeper realization that we come from a great place and that we have much to be proud of.

And proudly we can say that despite an imperfect record and the ever-obvious room for improvement, through our recent ventures in international comeptition Guam is setting a massive footprint in our ventures forward and abroad.

Footprints set deep for those after us to follow and ventures sincere for our islands and its people(s)–for our honor, for our glory.

Thanks for dropping by.
