PRESS RELEASE – Grapplers Quest, the foremost grappling, submission, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) tournament, is set for a triumphant return with a relaunch event on Guam this weekend, January 27th & 28th at the UOG Calvo Field House.

Founded by Brian Cimins, Grapplers Quest has been instrumental in the growth of grappling sports. MMA icon Brandon Vera, reflecting on his journey, states, “Grapplers Quest is a tournament that helped me grow up in the sport.”
