Many Weapons at the 2010 South Bay Open

Many Weapons at South Bay Open

Just checked out a very cool site with very impressive photos.  Cooperfoto.com captured some awesome images of the Broadnax Brothers in action at the 2010 South Bay Open and many other stunning images of high profile national BJJ events and competitors.  If you participated in Worlds, Pans or the South Bay Open in the past few years there is a chance your picture could be there as well.  It is definitely worth investigating.  The Broadnax twins are 16 year old recently promoted purple belts that are not only very talented, but fun to watch…  May be not to compete against.  Below are a few photos of them, links to many weapons gear and a highlight video of them doing what they do best.  For more pictures like these check out cooperfoto.com.  For the coolest gear check out manyweapons.com.

TWO MANY WEAPONS | CHRISTIAN AND CHRISTOPHER BROADNAX

TWO MANY WEAPONS | CHRISTIAN AND CHRISTOPHER BROADNAX

I’m not sure what is more amazing the fact that the 16 year old Broadnax twins (Christian and Christopher) completely dismantled their division and faced off in the final at the 1st Southwest Brazilian Jiu – Jitsu Classic in October or that they predicted it would happen.  Either way the talent possessed by this dynamic duo is undeniable.

In order to stay on top of their game they regularly compete in adult divisions.  In addition to BJJ supremacy they have MMA aspirations.  Based on what I have witnessed thus far they are destined for greatness.  They have the guard, the top game, the take downs and the submissions…  Christian and Christopher Broadnax are twins with two MANY WEAPONS!!!

Check out the video and see for yourself!!!
