Coach Evan Gideon and student Kyle showed up early Saturday morning ready to compete. Kyle would be the first person fighting for
Galveston MMA. This is a pretty big deal since Galveston has not had a Mixed Martial Arts school on the island ever! They are a new school and have only been open for 2 months. Now they have two medals after their first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament.
Kyle took second at his first tournament getting one submission. His first match he was able to pull off the Kimora from closed guard. The second fight he was able to lock on the Kimora again but was not able to finish the submission. The match ended 3-0. Kyle was the silver medalist! Overall it was a good showing for the new BJJ fighter.
Evan ended up fighting two tough fights. The first fight Evan was taken down off a quick double leg. With thirty seconds left in the match Evan was able to finish his opponent with a arm bar from guard. Very close first match. In Evans second match he was able to rack up a lot of points winning 20-0 for the gold medal.
