The Munster Open BJJ Championships 2011 was another Total Success. Thanks to the Pedro Bessa BJJCORK Team and BJJ Community on our beautiful Island, that it was such a success.
With over 160 competitors and a huge amount of Spectators , it was evident that the Gentle Art of Brazilian Jiujitsu is growing from strenght to strenght in Ireland.
We had over 40 national Teams compete at the Championships. And out of those Teams , Pedro Bessa BJJCORK had worked its way to achieve 96points. Securing the overall Team Trophy, with SBG taking second and BJJ Revolution taking third place.
The overall atmosphere at the Event was amazing!! Enthusiastic competitors from Ireland , UK, Wales and even as far as Guam, ready to showcase their BJJ Skills.
