Flashback to October 2000, Amilcar "Mica" Cipilli was the first person waiting in the parking lot of Durango High School with 6 students ready to help setup the event. I'd never met him before that day other than brief phone conversations, but looking back, Mica was head instructor of one of two schools back then and he knew how important donating his time and energy and love for the sport to help Grapplers Quest possible.

The Unspoken Voice of Autism

Every person in this world has a voice, importance, and purpose in this world. For a fighter, his voice is the weeks of training, his importance is the goal he sets for himself, and his purpose could be as small as getting through a fight or as big as winning a tournament. But, what of those who’s voice is heard in a different tune?
