JOHN FARRAR Jr. - "LJ" dominated his Brown Belt opponent (2 ranks above his own) two straight matches to bring home his fourth Gold Medal from this event in three years.

DAMON SOTOMAYOR - "Daim" worked his division. The little big man was on a roll with three straight Ippon wins on his way to the Gold.

EMILIO SOTOMAYOR - "Yamash" displayed poise and control as he took the gold medal at the "Arnold" for the second year in a row, this time with two quick Ippon wins.

ITALIA COLABATISTTO - "Tal" ran through her tough, higher ranked opponents with Ippons on her way to the Gold/Silver Medal match against what recently seems to be her hardest opponent, her older brother.

ALEXANDRIA MARTINEZ - "Alex" this year again, worked very hard and brought home the Silver Medal in her division.

D'JAY KELLY - "DJ" anxious to "step it up" entered two divisions and fought very strong. One of DJ's divisions had six fighters higher than Nidan or above (Nidan = 2nd degree black belt). He fought very well letting everyone know "rank doesn't mean anything".

�Hard work will beat natural talent when natural talent fails to work hard�

�Invincibility lies in the defense; the possibility of victory in the attack.�
