The American National Jiu-Jitsu Championship last weekend in Carson, California, was a spectacle packed with hard-fought disputes. The big name of the tournament was Caio Terra, a roosterweight who took first place in the absolute weight class. But a number of athletes put in brilliant performances on the mats, like Bruno Bastos, Laércio Fernandes, Rodrigo Simões and Samir Chantre, among others.
Check out the action as captured by the lenses of Mike Colón and Deb Blyth.
