🏆 IBJJF Pan Jiu Jitsu Championships Recap 🏆
This past weekend at one of the toughest and most prestigious tournaments in the world, our team stepped up in a big way. I couldn’t be more proud of this group.
🥇 Amanda went out and won GOLD in her first tournament as a Brown Belt (M1 Light Featherweight). She had a bye first round, won her next match 3-0, and then submitted her opponent in the finals. Once again, Amanda didn’t give up a single point all day, about as dominant as it gets.
🥈 Hector had an incredible run to Silver in the M2 Brown Belt Middleweight division. He finished his first match with an RNC, then pulled off a wild comeback kneebar with 8 seconds left in his quarterfinal match. He followed that with another RNC in the semis. In the finals, he lost by a single advantage in a 2-2 match against a very tough opponent.
🥉 Justin took Bronze in the Purple Belt M3 Heavyweight division. Tough quarterfinal win and came up short in the semis against the eventual silver medalist.
🥉 Ken also earned Bronze in the Blue Belt M5 Ultra Heavyweight division. Won his quarterfinal by ref decision and lost in the semis to the eventual champion. Big respect to Ken for stepping up and competing at this level just weeks after getting his Blue Belt.
Super proud of everyone who stepped on the mat.
