Competition Recap
We took a few of our Little Lions to Syracuse, NY on 3/15 where they competed in a Grappling Industries tournament! Our youth instructors traveled to Syracuse to coach three of our young students, Romeo, Leo, and Curtis, who all performed fiercely! Students ranging in weight, age, and experience left it all on the mats, including our newest of the group, Romeo, who competed up 30 lbs and up a skill level after training with us for barely two months! Despite his adversities, Romeo managed to place fourth in both Gi and No-Gi, securing wins from points. Leo and Curtis have been with our team for much longer and have tested themselves in new ways. Leo finally entered the intermediate bracket in Gi and No-Gi and secured two bronze medals for his wins by points and submissions (Arm-In Guillotine and Rear Naked Choke). Curtis swept his bracket and took home a gold medal after competing in No-Gi. He collected a series of submission wins from one Rear Naked Choke and two Americanas along with a win by points in the first-place match.
Most importantly, our students had a great time supporting each other and doing what they love! We are proud of the way they refused to quit, showed sportsmanship, and cheered their teammates on!
Jiu-Jitsu 101 Open Enrollment
On Monday we launched our Jiu-Jitsu 101 Program– designed as an introductory Jiu-Jitsu class for beginners looking to learn the fundamentals of the sport, get in shape, learn self-defense, or even advanced students wanting to sharpen their basics! We had a great first class and are looking forward to the addition to our schedule.
Classes are every Monday and Friday from 5pm-6pm with our knowledgeable grappling instructors. If you are a BJJ novice who has heard of the sport but is nervous to jump in, this is the class for you. Our instructors specifically designed classes to be comprehensive while still offering a challenging environment suitable for all levels. Jiu-Jitsu is the best method of self-defense, a fun way to get in shape, and a great way to join a community of people focused on constant improvement. Here, our coaches can give you the attention you need without getting lost in the crowd.
Mastering the basics is what differentiates a champion from the rest.
Grow your confidence, get in shape, change your life.
