BURLESON, TX, January 29, 2013 – American Grappling Federation put on their first tournament of the year and the second in our TXMMA tournament season with the 2013 AGF Winter Classic held in Burleson, TX this past weekend.
The event was anchored by a $1,000 three-man team challenge featuring six of the top teams in the area doing battle in a ‘best out of three’ format under AGF No-GI grappling rules.
In the end, the team from Matt Larson’s Combat Fitness (Jarrod Clontz, Nick Shafer, and Colton Smith) won 2-1 in the final with Nick Shafer edging out Genesis BJJ’s Manoj Mathew in the final match of the competition. MCLF wins the cash prize and all three teams are now eligible for the $3,000 team challenge series culmination to take place in Dallas at AGF’s Southern Regionals in July.
As for team competition, tons of competitors did well with BQuick Jiu-Jitsu and Fitness Fight Factory shining in the Kids divisions while Genesis Jiu-Jitsu and BQuick Jiu-Jitsu took honors in the adult brackets.
