BJJWorldChampionships:TeamGuam byStephenRoberto

Guam was well represented by its jiu jitsu players this week at the 2009 World Jiu Jitsu Championships held at the Walther Pyramid at Cal State University Long Beach. Eric Sian repped Guam proudly with a gold medal finish with two submissions in under 3 min (Darce choke/bow and arrow choke). Awesome!!!

In womens action Aileen Wong fought her way to a bronze medal with her tight triangle attack. Very happy to see her confidence grow with this performance.

I want to also mention all the other people that represented Guam so well.

The Benevente’s David and Christopher showed alot of maturity in there game and they are always making me proud. I had a long awaited reunion with the Vida brothers Ted, Sunny and Kolo. They are giving their fair share of smashing up in the bay area and had great matches. Dominic Damian from Undisputed SD showed a technical triangle attack in a couple wins. Also there was Gerson Atoigue, Luis Reyes, Ron Okada, Gabe Baker, Mike Carbullido, Cliff Nededog, Jessie Manglona, Eric Alcantra and Kelly Harper who made the long trip out here and put their belts on the line in front of the best jiu jitsu players in the world, most especially the Purebred/Lloyd Irvin Team of Terrence Aflague, Ray Roberto, Rich Enriquez, Kiko Shimizu, Maria Dunn, Mike Sanchez, Eric Sian and Aileen Wong for giving it their all! Cant wait til Japan and next year! Biba Guam! Biba Purebred!
