In 2010, Grapplers Quest added age categories for Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to include Under 6 years, 7-9 years, 10-12 years and Teens separately into two groups, as well 13-15 years and 16-17 years, plus any divisions that have two or more girls will branch out and become a Bonus division to allow female athletes extra matches as well.
"The UFC Fan Expo in Houston back in 2011 was a MONSTER - we are expecting Saturday's show to easily break records in Texas State for attendance in competitors and spectators and with $18,000 in Cash and Prizes and 100% of women competing for free sponsored by Gaspari - it's going to be the Godzilla of Grappling Tournaments and we're ready," commented Grapplers Quest owner Brian Cimins.
