Congratulations to Team RGDA and all the Teams that have made to Grapplers Quests events throughout these years. We truly respect and appreciate each of the teams that have pushed our few competitors to train harder and to constantly improve. A big thank you to all Grapplers Quest organization for providing us and the grappling community opportunities to compete. With more school coming up and our current school growing, I honestly believe w/ our instruction and better attention to detail in putting our team name on the sign-in sheets, we will do even better in the decade to come.
