On January 30th, Hong Kong hosted the UAEJJ’s National Pro Competition. I was lucky enough to work at the event and see some spectacular matches.
Some champions and influential fighters also showed up including Carlson Gracie Jr. and Clark Gracie. Nice to see them supporting the world wide community.
As part of the organizational staff we didn’t see too many serious injuries except for a blown knee. This occurred after a competitor jumped guard onto the opponents knee. This caused his knee to twist sideways and in. Immediately, he let out a scream and the match was stopped. His knee was quite red and began to swell. After the paramedics cleared him for any serious emergencies, a basic physical assessment was completed and it was determined to be most likely knee ligament and cartilage damage (ACL, meniscus, mcl based on mechanism and ortho testing). I wish him a healthy recovery.
Below is some quick snaps I got while running around.
