"My" Pan Am 2010 Divisions


If I were competing at this year's Pan Am, then these would be the divisions I'd be looking at. Leve, with a max weight of 167.5 with the gi is by far the most likely. But given the lack of competitors at Pena, I can't help but wonder what it would take to get to 154 com kimono (roughly 149 without).

Actually, the ideal would be to compete at Senior 1 Leve (36-40 yrs) this year, where there are four competitors and none from Gracie Barra (unlike Senior 2).

Interestingly, the brown belt divisions at Senior 1 and Senior 2 are relatively small. Senior 1 Pena and Senior 2 Leve both have one competitor so far. Senior 1 Leve has 2 and Senior 2 Pena has none.
