PROSPECT, CT — On July 12, the mats were electric at Technique BJJ as Rolling Stonerz BJJ 11 delivered another community-rooted grappling event that blended high-level jiu-jitsu with purpose, passion, and connection. With an intimate crowd of roughly 50 to 100 spectators, the event brought together law enforcement, local athletes, and fans for a powerful night of submissions and solidarity.
Cops vs Stonerz: A Community Clash
One of the evening’s highlights was the return of the fan-favorite theme: Cops vs Stonerz. Matches featuring law enforcement officers going toe-to-toe with jiu-jitsu athletes from the cannabis community gave spectators not just action, but heart. The message was clear: build bridges, not barriers. It was a night to celebrate both grit and growth on the mat.
Ten Matches. Mostly Submissions. No Filler.
With 10 intense matchups on the card, the event moved with pace and professionalism. Most bouts ended via submission, showcasing the technical depth and finish-first mentality of the competitors. Frequent Rolling Stonerz standouts Nate Franklin, Ivan Alzona, and Anthony Pazienza made strong returns, drawing cheers from longtime supporters.
In a special twist, even JMurrayAthletics founder and CEO took to the mats, adding a personal stake and leadership by example.
