July 31, 2005 Womens Open Mat #3
From MMA.TV:
So the open mat was AWESome...we had a total of 9 girls which is great, and I hope to work with ppl's schedules so that the next one in the fall will bring out more women.
All the women had a great time and it was awesome to meet other girls in the sport.
Thanks to all the ladies for participating and also thanks to Josh/Toronto BJJ for letting us use the space once again.
Look out for Women's Open Matt #4 in the fall!
