Big daddy Mike won a gold medal...no big deal!!. He competed in the 2009 Western States Police & Fire Games in Valencia, in BJJ Submission Grappling. He had to cut some weight.... just 50 pounds!! He is so happy with this goal. His weight class was 169.9 and under. Here're some pics of the big day. We were able to go with him, Grandpas Jerry & Sharon and Amy came too. It was very stressful for the family to watch but he did OK and he is so glad he won.
