PRESS RELEASE – The Guam grappling community celebrated a historic moment this weekend with the first-ever Grapplers Quest Guam held at the UOG Calvo Field House. The event was free to athletes. Participants enjoyed an energetic event featuring captivating matches, E-games championship rounds, kid-friendly jumper stations, and delectable local cuisine from food trucks and Ignite Juice Bar’s acai bowls.
Spanning a Guam-largest 5,824 sq. ft of mat space and dedicated warm-up mats, the event welcomed grappling enthusiasts of all ages. MMA Superstar Brandon “the Truth” Vera added to the excitement, engaging in 20 exhibition matches with skilled athletes featured in solo brackets.
