Advertising Spotlight: TITLE MMA sponsors 2011 Gracie US Nationals, kids tourneys

From Jan. 29-30, more than 700 competitors will descend on the Los Angeles Convention Center to compete for the gold in the fourth annual Gracie US Nationals and third annual Gracie Kids Worlds jiu-jitsu and grappling tournaments, sponsored by TITLE MMA.

Organized by Gracie Tournaments president Rose Gracie, the Gracie US Nationals and Gracie Kids Worlds are among the premier tournaments held annually in the nation. This year's events honor Renzo Gracie, one of the legendary family's most accomplished fighters and respected teachers, and features both gi and no-gi competitions in a variety of divisions and weight classes.

TITLE MMA, a Lenexa, Kansas-based online mixed-martial-arts retailer, will be providing awards for first- and second-place competitors in each division, as well as championship belts for absolute-division winners and T-shirts for all referees, staff and pre-registering competitors. This is the second year the company has participated.

"We are very excited and honored to be working alongside Rose and the LA Fitness Expo team to make this year's event bigger and better than last year's," TITLE MMA Director of Marketing Beau Langdon stated.

TITLE MMA also will exhibit some of its bestselling products, as well as new youth fight shorts and rash guards, at its event booth.

"I am very careful with whom I associate my name and business," Rose Gracie stated. "The TITLE MMA brand reflects our values of putting the customer first and providing a great experience. I am very honored that they have put forth so much time and effort to help me get all these people from all walks of life in one room celebrating my grandfather's jiu jitsu."

The Gracie US Nationals and Gracie Kids Worlds are held in conjunction with the Bodybuilding.com LA Fitness Expo, which boasts more than 25,000 attendees and 300 exhibitors. Competitors can still register for the tournaments at www.gracietournaments.com. More information on the LA Fitness Expo can be found at www.thefitexpo.com.
