ImageThis year proved to be the biggest and best Gracie Invitational. With the Saturday being the proving ground for the white and blue belts, followed by a Sunday full of high level action from the purple, brown and black belts.
The Roger Gracie academy with only half the amount of competitors compared to last year, again won the Gracie Invitational teams results, with his close friend and training partner Brauilo Estima (Gracie Barra Brauilo Estima) Birmingham based team coming in third. Coming a second place was Carlson Gracie Revolution Team on 135 points. With a total revolution to the teams mindset, CGR showed to be the team to look out for in the future. Team Brasa came forth in the overall results. In all, London academies seem to be leading the way in growth with the Midlands close behind.

Roger Gracie Academy  -  181
Carlson Gracie Revolution Team  -  135
Gracie Barra Braulio Estima  -  116
BRASA  -  89

Jeff Monson cruised to victory of James Zikic in a grappling super fight, before the both went off to fight in their MMA bouts later in the month on May. Jeff controlled the match and scored 2 takedowns and a guard passage to pull out the victory

In the black belt division, Pedro Bessa beat Palvone Huandrason from Brasa on points, Felipe Souza - BJJ School beat Eduardo Ferreria from Brasa by submission and in teh final match Italio Ferreria - Italio Ferreria BJJ beat new crowned black belt (2 month old) Kevin Chan from the Roger Gracie Academy.

In the Battle of the Brands, team Black Eagle won victories over team Manto and Team Vangaard to become overall winners of the show.
