We made it to Vegas for Master Worlds!

Being "old people" competitors, we fly in 2 days early to acclimate. We started the morning off right with some espresso and a 3 mile walk.

Next up is a sauna and ice bath session to finish up recovery from travel and then a light mobility session.

Steak dinner, another 8 hours of sleep, and we'll be ready to roll tomorrow!

Check out the Cornerstone Master competitors on FloGrappling, Thomas Schmitzer Rachel Llanas Jacob Poulicakos and Jim Peltier , as we storm the convention center and put on display all that we've been working towards over the last several months.

First scheduled match for each of us is on the 2nd slide. Updates to come over the next few days!

Competitive sports offer an obvious outlet for challenges and reaching the flow state. Csíkszentmihályi comments: “The roots of the word ‘compete’ are the Latin con petire, which meant ‘to seek together.’ What each person seeks is to actualize her potential, and this task is made easier when others force us to do our best.”

It was an eventful weekend for the Cornerstone Comp Team. We had 7 competitors attend the IBJJF Chicago Summer Open and compete across 10 brackets.

Alex McNall in his first IBJJF comp took 🥉 in the Adult Blue Ultra Heavy. He then won his qualifier in the Open Class but lost in the quarterfinals.

Jacob Poulicakos took 🥉🥉 in both the Master 1 Brown Belt Heavy Weight and Open Class.

Andrew Trace went 1-1 to take 🥈 in the Master 2 Brown Belt Heavy Weight.

Joe Pelnar also had his IBJJF debut going down to Master 3 White Belt Medium Heavy and won both his matches to take 🥇.

Rachel Llanas won her Master 3 Brown Belt Light Weight match by submission to take 🥇.

Thomas Schmitzer went 1-1 to take 🥈 in the Master 4 Brown Belt Medium Heavy bracket.

Jim Peltier was the third to make his IBJJF debut and took double 🥇🥇 in the Master 5 Blue Belt Super Heavy Weight and Open Class. He finished all his opponents by submission with 3 in less than a minute.

As always, thanks Justin Lemke for the coaching and support. 🙏

No one likes the losses but they are fuel for the 🔥 as we get ready for the next.

Thomas Schmitzer Rachel Llanas and Jacob Poulicakos have 3 more weeks of prep before Master Worlds in Vegas! LET'S GO!!!!!!

Another competition filled weekend. We had 5 kids and 5 adults compete on Saturday and the Grappling Industries in Milwaukee.

The kids continue to make huge strides in improving their competition game with each one improving their win record. Declan, one of our grey and white belts, jumped up 2 weight classes and walked a way with bronze in no gi while Storrs took gold in his no gi bracket. Win or lose, they all make me so proud with the respect and sportsmanship they show their opponents and themselves.

Jim Peltier dominated the day winning all 5 matches for gold in his gi, no gi and absolute bracket. Joe took gold in no gi and silver in gi with 5 matches total. Chris took bronze in his large no gi adult bracket. Andrew Trace took gold in his no gi bracket with less than 50 seconds of total mat time. Lastly, Casey rounded out the team performance going 1-3 in his adult no gi bracket. He showed his skills at guard retention and utilizing an overlook closed guard but just couldn't execute his gameplan enough for the wins.

We missed a lot of the team in our picture after the long day but loved seeing the support and camaraderie throughout the day with adults cheering on the kids and the kids supporting the adults they aspire to be like.
