Straight Blast Gym of Montana sent its first ever team to the Northwest Submission Challenge in Boise, Idaho. With just 11 competitors, the team won 14 medals – six gold, five silver and three bronze.
“The best complement we can get is one we heard over and over – other teams are bummed when they see the SBG Gorillas show up to a tournament. Our competitors train hard because they love the sport, they love the team, and they love the experience,” said Travis Davison, owner and head coach of Straight Blast Gym of Montana.
“Standing on the podium is just icing on the cake.”
