Sacramento Jiu-Jitsu Tournament: Warrior's Quest


Angelo Wins Gold!!

November 12, 2011

        Kevin, Jordan, and Angelo geared up for some competition at the Warrior's Quest Championships this weekend at Rio Linda High School. The tournament had Gi and NoGi for both Juvenile and Adult divisions. All competitors did an incredible job preparing for the tournament with intensive training in class, going over competition strategy, and spending extra time drilling to sharpen their technical skills.

    In the adult NoGi and Gi divisions, both Kevin and Jordan had bouts with an exciting display of technique and heart. Kevin has made an incredible amount of improvement  over the year. He has made it a point to consistently train and compete in as many tournaments as he felt possible. Since Kevin started working out and training a year ago he has lost 50 lbs! We are very excited to see how much more he will learn and progress in the coming years. 

        Jordan battled through the tournament with several close scoring matches. Although he is new to EDHBJJ,  we are sure his eagerness to learn and improve will take him right to the top!

           In the Juvenile Gi division, Angelo swept the tournament by finishing his opponent with a triangle submission in the Finals. This was his first Gold medal in tournament competition. Congratulations Angelo!! Angelo is also a 4.0 student at school, successfully balancing his academics with his extra curricular activities. Please give a BIG congratulations to all of the competitors from this weekend!!
