Reaction MMA Kids Team at OGC Lexington June 9, 2012
Today, the entire Reaction MMA Kids grappling team and some of the adults had a great time and competed at the OGC (Ohio Grappling Challenge) event in Lexington, KY. The venue was set at Dunbar Highschool in a nicely air-conditioned gym and was the most impressive and comfortable venue we’ve ever had the pleasure to compete in. For the kids, the rules were the typical IBJJF type matches. The adults competed in a “Submission Only” format which ran smoothly. Although there were a few matches that ran for 30 minutes or more until a submission was obtained, most of the matches went surprisingly fast. I suppose when nobody has to worry about points, the fighters can focus only on getting the submission, which was quite refreshing to experience.
At the end of this post are some of the best photographs taken today by the wonderful and talented Mrs. Munson. These photos capture some of the submissions obtained by our fighters and there is one of Trey giving his signature torment to his opponent.
In the VIDEO below are some of the highlights from the Reaction MMA Kids. All of the kids did really well. The standouts from today taking double golds were Meredith who competed against all teen boys and made two of the cry, Wolf, and 6 year-old Trey.

Professor Ware and the OGC have announced that on June 9th, at Dunbar High School, they will be hosting a grappling tournament. The event will be Submission Only for the adults, with the usual rules for kids and teens.
If you have never competed in “Submission Only” events, this means that there are no points and no time limits. The match goes until someone taps, snaps, or naps. This form of competition is thought by many to more closely resemble the dynamics of an actual unarmed fight between two people. This can be a real test which can give you a great deal of insight into the effectiveness of your ground game. We’ll be there in force, so come on out and take part in what is sure to be an epic event.
