 |  |  |
Sandhills Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a Team-ROC affiliate under the instruction of Roy Marsh. Roy is a 2-stripe Purple Belt, having received his Blue Belt from Royce Gracie and his Purple Belt from Rodrigo Gracie. Roy is the only instructor of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the Sandhills area. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the style that forever redefined the martial arts world and showed what worked and didn't work in real fighting situations. It's focus is on groundfighting (where the vast majority of fights end up) and on submissions (which are not as affected by strength or size differences as striking). Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is great if you are a beginner or already have a martial arts background and want a new challenge. At Sandhills Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, we are focused on improving our skills and health in a "no ego" friendly environment. |

Congratulations to all Team-ROC members who competed in the September 2007 Budweiser World Cup Grappling
Championships. Team-ROC decimated the competition with members from Raleigh, Fayetteville, Chapel Hill, Southern Pines
and Greensboro taking medals. From Southern Pines, Jamie Clark and Larry Hughes took Silver and Bronze as Blue Belts in
their respective weight classes and Shayne "O.C." Carlson took Silver in the Youth division with Roy Marsh taking Gold in the
Purple Belt Senior division. Special notice goes to Evan Carville and Shane Cook who fought tremendous matches. I want to
recognize that all the Sandhills crew fought for submissions rather than point wins.

Also, RedBull won Gold at the 2007 Pendergrass No-gi tournament and Lee fought very well there as well. Redbull also took Bronze in the NAGA competition.
