Team CGS of Greensburg, PA

A large aspect of Jiu Jitsu is competition. Nothing is more rewarding than having all your hard work pay off.  And on March 6th, it payed off big for Team CGS.

Four members of Team CGS, Casey Leonard, Jeremy Kosicek, Shawn Miller and Shaun Kelley, traveled to Ashland, VA to compete in the US Grappling Submission Only IX tournament. They competed in both gi and no-gi divisions. All four members of Combative Grappling Systems won 1st in their respective no-gi skill and weight divisions.

Casey Leonard, owner and head instructor of Combative Grappling Systems, went an incredible 63 minutes in the 30+ advanced no-gi absolute, against a 213lb brown belt in his first match of the day. And as if that wasn’t impressive enough, Casey then went on to compete and take first place in three other divisions that day!

This is an outstanding showing by Team CGS. Certainly Casey and his fellow teammates trained hard for this event, and they should all be extremely proud for their accomplishments in this tournament.

So once again, congratulations to Team CGS!

Here’s a link with the full days results.
