Saturday, October 9, 2010, was the date of the biggest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and No-Gi Grappling tournament the Northwest has ever seen: 2010 Oregon Open. Final reports state there were 590 competitors and 75 teams in attendance. Competitors traveled from as far north as Vancouver, BC, and as far east as Kalispell, Montana, to compete in the all-day event at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, Oregon. Highlights included “Fastest Tap” awards going to the eight quickest submissions of the day (the majority coming in under 15 seconds); the Men’s Brown Belt Absolute Division (including Impact’s own Matt Leech and Andrew Wong); and the elite grapplers showcased in the Men’s Advanced Absolute Division at the end of the day.

Impact Jiu Jitsu showed up in full force, with 85 total competitors wearing the blue (Gi and No-Gi combined). Team Impact brought home 14 first place wins, eight second place, and 25 third place medals. The event was a spectacle of talent and a testament to the size and scope of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Northwest. Thank you to all the competitors who came out, gave it their all, and represented Impact Jiu Jitsu… many of whom spent the rest of the day helping out at the event and coaching their teammates.

We would also like to thank all the sponsors for supporting subleague.com’s events. Oregon Open’s presenting sponsors, CageCulture.com and the Oregon National Guard, play a huge part in promoting the sport with their continuous support of this event and the Spring Submission Wrestling League.
