WHITE-BELT FESITIVAL + BBQ PARTY!!!

Hi All,

Remember, this coming Saturday (Nov 7) there will be no morning class or open-mat. We will be holding our final WHITE-BELT FESTIVAL for 2009 + celebrating Bangkok BJJ's 1-Year Anniversary with a BBQ to follow the matches. If you haven't signed up yet, please do so before Friday this week with your name, weight-category and e-mail. I will be finalizing the brackets Friday evening.

Things should kick-off at about 9am.

Even if you're not a white-belt competing, we encourage everyone to come and cheer on your teammates and stick around for the celebration afterwards.

I am also very happy to announce that we have a sponsor for this event. GROUND SKILLZ 'combat sports wear' will be awarding winners with prizes so a big thanks to to them.
