🏆 Gold at Danish Open, Europeans and Brasileiros
Another Great Danish Open
Last weekend Arte Suave held one of Scandinavia’s biggest jiu-jitsu tournaments, Danish Open, which ran over two days with over 1.000 registrations and cash prizes for winning in the adult open weight classes.
Arte Suave had 63 competitors in total with a record high amount of kids and juveniles competing: 26.
Our competitors did great and earned Arte Suave the team trophy in both gi and no-gi for the adult and masters category. A big congratulations to everyone who put themselves out there to test themselves, and for your results!
And thank you to everyone who spend their weekend working as staff and referees, and coaching their teammates – it is greatly appreciated!
