2009 BRUTE / SJWA

War at the South Jersey Shore Folk Style National Championships

In the Inaugural War at the SJ Shore, we had the distinct pleasure of welcoming a team from Slovakia. They we're back for more in 2009! The Slovaks were part of the 1557 wrestlers who joined us this year.

Several members of the Slovakian Junior National Freestyle Team attended our tournament, wrestling Folkstyle vs. their much more familiar specialties of Freestyle and Greco-Roman. Would you be willing to travel to Slovakia and enter a Freestyle tournament? Talk about backbone...

Once again, fans were able to follow the Results ONLINE, REAL TIME!! We Webcast the results of the War to the world again this year, real-time allowing friends, fans and family to see results as they happened on Friday and Saturday. Interested parties just followed this link to the Sikora Soft Systems REAL TIME Bout Board...
