Sensei Dawn Barnes brought this organization to the west coast along with Sensei Bruce Rush who is our onstaff child psychologist and he also teaches the classes in our SM dojo. We offer free classes to 11 kids dealing with cancer. The tournament helped to raise money to support this wonderful cause.

Sensei Dawn gave her blessing and allowed us to host the event. Paul Saucido did a great job organizing the event and even won his fight! Check out www.bjjvscancer.com.
