The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Judo club went to the Indiana Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy tournament on November 16, 2009. "Our team had its best showing of nine competitors, many of which placed in their devision," said club president Travis Poulton. Individuals who placed were Matt Love who recieved gold in the light heavy weight blue belt division. Kevin Buntin who achieved gold in the unlimited blue belt division and the unlimited no gi advanced gi division. Travis Poulton who recieved silver in the intermediate no gi divison. Russell Whatley who recieved a silver medal in the white belt middle weight division. Then there was Shawn Saddler, Erik Bluhm, Matt Heppler, Alex Isbill, and Mitchell Michael who competed well but fell short of the medal rounds. All participants competed to their full potential and it was the first time competing for many of the WKU club members. Overall they gave a great effort and left with many awards that day.
