Fourteen participants from the Winkler area recently arrived home from a mixed martial arts tournament in Regina with some hardware.

The tournament was a "kids-only" Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission grappling tournament.

 This group of young students was coached by Marcos Gaubert from Level MMA gym in Winkler. Marcos joined Golden West On-Air Host Jayme Giesbrecht to share more details on the tournament:

  

 So, what is MMA?

 How did the students from our area do? 

 

 MMA is not about encouraging violence, or causing harm to anyone, said Gaubert.

 

 Marcos himself competed in Brazilian Juijitsu in his youth!

 

 How has participating in these classes benefitted the students?

 

 And finally, Marcos wanted to share a special thanks to all involved
