On Saturday, September 4, 2010 Charleston, West Virginia will be holding the official “West Virginia Games” once again, and we expect this year to be much bigger than the last. This will be a huge two day event on Magic Island, which is located on the Kanawha river in the capital of West Virginia. The “West Virginia Games” will feature various sports including volleyball, beach wrestling, boxing, power lifting, 5k run, rack & field, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Wrestling, and much more. There will also be many kid friendly events and rides to keep the whole family entertained.

This is an important event for our state and we are looking for a lot of competitors to help our sport and martial art grow in West Virginia. The exposure will be very big throughout the state and we expect many local state officials to be there. All local competitors will benefit from the media attention and all out of state competitors are guaranteed to have fun, get good competition, and be part of a larger event that will be fun for the whole family.

This is the official state championships for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling (No Gi Grappling) and, as always, we will have a double elimination format allowing each competitor the most opportunity to compete as possible. There will also be various absolute divisions available, allowing each competitor a chance to compete way more than they usually can at any similar tournament.

There will be children’s, teens, women’s, and men’s divisions and the weight classes for both gi and no gi.

Based on the success of the inaugural Grapple Girls Open Women’s Grappling Tournament – the first event of its kind in North America – in 2009, we will be running it again in 2010.

First a quick recap of last year’s event:

* 24 competitors came from all over North America.
* the majority of competitors were higher level, some of them world class, decorated grapplers. The action was exciting and non-stop.
* the bouts ran smooth as butter thanks to US Grappling’s own Chrissy Linzy. At no time were competitors wandering around not knowing what the heck was happening. And there was no dead time without a match on the mat. Chrissy is a pro and we were lucky to have her running the show.
* Special guests Felicia Oh and Valerie Worthington – two of the most respected and generous people in the grappling world – were in attendance.

The vibe was nothing short of incredible: the competitors, the spectators, the sponsors, the refs and support staff, the space itself; all came together to create an unforgettable day. Since that event and the Women’s Grappling Camp that immediately followed, the women’s grappling community has grown and solidified even further with networks stretching across all of North America. The Grapple Girls Open 2010 promises to be even better: We’ve got the support of the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Association once again, lending us their space and volunteers. We’ve got the incomparable Chrissy Linzy running the mats (we can’t emphasize this enough: she is AMAZING). We’ll have fantastic sponsors and prizes again this year.
