We will be hosting a nogi grappling tournament this February in Virginia Beach!  Here's the link to the Facebook Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/459536207415541/  Below is some information on the tournament, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lockflow wants your techniques, press releases, product reviews, interviews and training drill & tips. It's now easier than ever before to share your content with the 1000's of people that visit Lockflow everyday.

Please watch the video below and let me know if you have any questions.

Sometimes in grappling tournaments you see some crazy, cool moves and think to yourself, "Man, I wish I had that recorded". In this case we are in luck, as the guys at connection Rio did just that at an event called Copa Cyclone Rio. Enjoy the roll and look for the super slick kneebar at the end!

Gotta give props to our friends at DSTRTRsg for the find!
