BJJ Student Gets 1st Place @ VA Beach The Good Fight Tournament
Charlie Craddock, 1st Place Absolute and 2nd Place In His Category
KnuckleUp Brazilian jiu jitsu and MMA student Charlie Craddock dominated The Good Fight tournament in Virginia Beach on August 29th.
Charlie conquered first place in the Absolute No-Gi Beginner division (Absolute means there's no weight categories - fighters can compete against heavier or lighter opponents) which is in itself a major accomplishment.
But he went on to win 2nd place on his weight category (177-179lbs) in the beginners division as well.
And Charlie is one of the few fighters that actually respects the beginner requirements (less than one year of training) - most competitors forget their time on the mat when signing up.
The entire KnuckleUp team is very proud of Charlie for these two major wins. He's a dedicated student, and comes to the jiu jitsu classes even when he's supposed to start his shift right after.
As you can see in the picture to the left, Charlie is a really strong athlete, which is a huge advantage, but his technique is quickly catching up, as the competitors at the Good Fight tournament noticed.
To Charlie, our most sincere congratulations - you deserved it!
