GRACIE Mag #146 - A historic Pan in California

Anyone who understands the emotion of facing line after line, to ultimately feel the butterflies in the stomach, the adrenaline and screams common at amusement parks, will understand the predominant feeling at the Jiu-Jitsu Pan 2009, which GRACIEMAG offers up for readers in exclusive coverage.

o other news vehicle counted on so many reporters (there were seven just doing photography) at the Toros team gymnasium, in California State University Dominguez Hills, about an hour from the Walt Disney theme park. And the Jiu-Jitsu spectacle witnessed on the 27th, 28th and 29th of March would have left even the most hardened roller-coaster addict tense, with athletes going through highs and lows, shouts, non-stop action, kids scattered every which way, grandparents in the stands, souvenir sales and plenty of joy all around.
