2016 Marianas Open Press Conference Verona Resort 2
The Official 2016 Marianas Open Press Conference was hosted by the Verona Resort Guam.
The 2016 Marianas Open has a huge Black Belt Absolute lineup that will bring world wide attention to our island of Guam. With $10,000 for the black belt absolute winner, this is an enticing 1st prize to any Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete.
It is truly an honor and a pleasure to have these world class BJJ black belts visit our beautiful paradise island, enjoy the hospitality of our people, learn about our Hafa Adai spirit and do what they do best showcasing their skills in front of our island and the entire world. Budo Videos streaming the whole event live online.
It is amazing to see Guam martial arts grow in the past years of BJJ being on island. Like Keenan Cornelius mentioned at the press conference, “Guam is the melting pot of JiuJitsu in this region.” Guam has three local boys (Bryant, Terrence & Jake) competing in the black belt division. We are excited to have 3 of our very own Guam BJJ black belts competing at the world class level.
It is nice to see the growth of martial arts and BJJ on Guam with the Marianas Open throwing this monumental event that brings in world class talent to the islands. May we learn, grow and foster the positives of martial arts for a better Guam. Saina Maase Marianas Open!
We are looking forward to the 2016 Marianas Open going down at the FD Phoenix Center in Mangilao Guam. Aside from the world class BJJ black belt line up, fans will able to enjoy martial arts competition at its finest the whole day with the Marianas Open kids, women and other belt adult divisions.
