SAN ANTONIO, TX, April 17, 2013 – There was a lot of really competitive and fast-paced grappling going on in San Antonio this past weekend as Matshark Tournaments held their largest event ever in front of a loud packed house at St. Phillips College.

Managed by Rafael Perez, the Matshark San Antonio Open Pro brought in around 300 competitors from Central Texas and beyond to compete for cash prizes in addition to the well-earned medals you typically see hanging around the winners’ necks.
