The IBJJF New York Spring Open is the toughest tournament on the East Coast, and this weekend we had two great performances from Dave Landgarten and Greg Hagner.
Dave was coming off a knee surgery and had lost both of his matches at purple belt last year. This time he was on point, putting in his best competition performance to date. He won two very tough matches for Gold.
Greg won Gold in his weight class and entered the Absolute division (all weights combined). He won his first match 7-0, then had one of the best matches of the day in the semi-final. Down 3-0, Greg came back to score 10 unanswered points to win 10-3. In the final Greg was winning comfortably but suffered a serious injury to his hand. Hopefully it’s not too bad and he can get back to training soon.
