Saturday February 19th, Coach Dave Zennario competed in High Rollerz 12 in Las Vegas, NV! A night of firsts; Dave's 1st time competing in Vegas and 1st time competing for High Rollerz.
High Rollerz 12 was a a 16 man Gi Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Absolute Tournament with a very interesting ruleset aimed at the matches being submission focused to make for an exciting event. At Rooster Weight, Coach Dave was the smallest guy in the bracket.
While away this weekend and in preparation for the event, Dave was also able to connect with Coach Pete and get in some morning warm up rolls at Ronin Jiu Jitsu.
While he did not win his match, he put on a great performance with an equally as talented opponent- which you can catch below!
