Guybson Sá, a member of a traditional martial arts family in Brazil’s northeast, has been teaching in New York for a year and a half now.
The black belt is not taking on another endeavor, though: he’s promoting the inaugural Syracuse International Championship. The competition set for November 13 at Phoenyx High School in Syracuse, New York, will feature gi and no-gi competitions.
The divisions for the competition are beginners (white belts), intermediate (blue and purple), and advanced (brown and black belts). Medals and certificates will be awarded to the top three placed competitors.
Sign-ups end November 10 and cost $50, and can be performed on the www.active.com website.
