What am incredible weekend for our kids!!
We competed in what turned out to be the largest kids , brazilian juijitsu event in the midwest to date.
With approximately150 teams and close to 500 kids competing!
That being said Premier Jiu-Jitsu Academy placed 3rd Overall as Best Academy!
At our first team competition of the year, we took thirty kids to compete and are bringing home 24 medals! We were top 5 in most metals awarded, top 3 for most Gold Medals won... securing us the 3rd Best Gym.
The exciting part for us is that of the 30 competitors we took 25 was their first time competing and 23 of them were white belts , with six months training or less, a few less than a month!
Thank you to all the professors and Coaches, Tony, Diogo Rodrigo de Oliveira , Rob Cal , Fatimah Sayyad, Jim Peterson, , Mark Herskovitz , TJ for getting these kids ready to go out there to battle. Also want to thank Gabi Passini and Danielle for all your help keeping up with the schedule and where the kids needed to be at all times. Amazing teamwork!
Thank you to all parents for having faith and trust in us, for believing in us but more importantly, believing in your kids. Thank you for finding the time to consistently bring your kids to class.It's a team effort.
Lastly, I want to thank all the kids at the academy for getting your teammates ready. And, most important the students that competed. You went out there fought your hearts out. Never gave up fought till the end and with all your hard work, commitment and dedication as a Team we managed to accomplish something so great! Keep grinding, keep showing up and let's do this again!
We can't tell you how proud we are of all 30 of you!
