What is a Grapplethon: A GrappleThon is a Brazilian Jiu jitsu event for charity, where the BJJ community gets together to roll for a predetermined period, fundraising for a worthy cause. In the case of the way I do them we pick an individual who seriously needs the help ex: someone stuck in a serious life crisis such as death in the family, cancer, or other life stricken issues. Grapplethon is NOT A TOURNAMENT however it is a gathering of another kind where different grappling practitioners drop there academy flags and come together for a just cause training and learning from one another. Grapplethon is an open mat 180 minute rolling session, which usually goes longer than that. The rolls will be 6 minutes each (timer style) so at the end of the day you will get 30 rolls of great training while also hopefully meeting new friends in the process while supporting a great cause.

Format: Our last Grapplethon which featured gi and
no-gi was a great success and fun experience for everyone. To keep with the
flow of things this version of Grapplethon will be Gi & No-Gi training.
RULE: if you choose to do no-gi please no
neck cranks, heel hook, twisters, or any crazy submissions that may injure your
training partner. Remember we are here to Train Safe and Have Fun !!! (I
will explain more on this rule in future wall post)
Also if you
choose to do no-gi PLEASE bring rash guard or shirt. No rolling bare chest for hygiene
and possible ringworm hazards.
What is the Cause: Ian Matuszak, a 20-year-old BJJ Blue belt from Westbury, has cerebral palsy. It is a debilitating
disease that impacts the lives of millions of people. He was also recently
diagnosed with stage three esophageal cancer.
