May 2024 | Episode #2

May was a month of progress. With the dry wall completed and the walls painted, we could finally begin laying the mats. 3,000 sq ft of mat space (and wall pads!) was no easy task and we were blessed to have so many willing and able bodies who volunteered their efforts.

Omaha had a great turnout for Grappling Industries. Grappling Industries is not an easy tournament as each division is run as a round robin, requiring all competitors to face one another in determining a winner. Though small in number, LŌKAHI athletes finished the day with an impressive tally. All wins came by way of submission within the regulation time period. Congratulations to our competitors!

James Richardson - Double Gold

Sam O’Laughlin - Silver

Delfino Rodriguez - Double Silver
