Mike Thomas, top ranked IBJJF competitor fighting out of Paramount BJJ in Downingtown PA, traveled to California this past weekend for the IBJJF’s San Francisco Open. After four matches he stood atop the podium with yet another Gold medal to his collection. He’s now won the Boston Open, New York Open, Rome Open, European Open, and San Francisco Open. All of this in preparation for the real goal: 2014 World Champion.
