Thank you to all competitors, coaches and clubs that supported this event! Sincere thanks and appreciation to all volunteers (Salvosa BJJ Ascension and Modern Vision) that graciously provided their time throughout the weekend to ensure that everyone had a positive experience--your kindness and consideration is never forgotten! A big thank you to all referees that, in spite of being so few and working for many hours, provided excellent officiating: Chris Greenwood, Mike Lapalme, Mark Stables, Tony Isaacs, Fernando Zulick, Paul Stark, Jeff Joslin, Jason McDonald, Josh Rapport, Alaina Hardie & Andrew McCall. Thank you to Riccardo & Lindamor Ammendolia from FIGHT PLANET for always supporting our events; thank you Rick for taking more time on Sunday to help us out! Thank you to Shyam Tanna of Pound 4 Pound for sponsoring our absolute belts, along with Fight Planet. Thank you to Marcio Nunes for your valuable help on a very busy Saturday! Meegwetch to Eddy Robinson of Morningstar River for the beautiful tribute song to our fallen teachers: Master Carlson Gracie and the recent passing of Master Helio Gracie. Thank you to Tony Isaacs for overseeing the officiating and going out of your way to set-up before and after the event--we really appreciate your hard work! Thank you to Fernando Zulick for your invaluable help throughout the entire competition, right by my side to help with this new system that will help to pave the way for future tournaments (also sacrificing your time from coaching your students--it's always such a sacrifice for all of us coaches, especially when we have so many competitors to look after!). Thank you to my friends of the BJJO for your support of our competition! Although it is difficult to ensure that everyone is happy with the competition and there are undoubtedly many challenges that we can all learn from to make the experience better each year, Beverley and I sincerely tried our best and worked very hard (sleepless nights) to ensure that competitors had decent and fair matchups and the most opportunities to compete, all while working to have the tournament run smoothly and in a reasonable amount of time. When you attend an Ascension event, we sincerely hope that you have a positive experience. Thank you everyone for supporting GOOD VIBES all weekend, your patience and respectfulness to everyone involved.
One last thank you again to the ASCENSION crew that helped to run the event together with us.... we appreciate you sincerely and we are happy to have such great people to train, everyday!
Omar & Beverley Salvosa.
