A Scoreboard Malfunctioned So The Competitors Had A Dance Battle Instead!

OK, we can now officially say we've seen it all. usually, dancing on the mat is saved for post-jiu-jitsu match celebrations, but this is the first time we've seen it happen DURING a contest.

OK, we can now officially say we've seen it all. usually, dancing on the mat is saved for post-jiu-jitsu match celebrations, but this is the first time we've seen it happen DURING a contest. 

Go to 3.40 of the video to see what happens when Joseph Dockery and Dale Morris were left alone on the mat during a match at the IBJJF Pan No-Gi in New York while the referee goes to fix the scoreboard! 

Of course, there is a strong tradition of dancing and jiu-jitsuā€¦  Just ask Leandro Lo or any of the many Brazilian black belts who love to boogie!
