ps1 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Interesting indeed. I'm interested to see how the participants are selected. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoriKid Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The competition has been heading toward something like this for a while frankly. I hope it does continue and grow. It would be nice to see the top competitors get the recognition, respect, and yes pay, of pro athletes. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro.

pittbullJudoka Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I guess they have to do something with all the criticsm they are recieving from the top competitors and the amount of guys opting out of big IBJJF competions to due things like ADDCC and ADDCC Pro Cup that actually pay them to compete.
