IBJJF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS EDHBJJ RESULTS

     The 2012 IBJJF World Championships were held in Long Beach, CA from May 31~ June 3. This was the most prestigious and exciting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament of the year! From El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Jordan and Eliot entered the tournament after months of disciplined training and weeks of intensive preparations.

     Jordan went into competition on Thursday, and battled his way to the Semi-finals, and finished with a BRONZE medal in the Ultra-Heavy white belt division. In his bouts to the medal podium, he overcame some tough competition and pulled through some close matches and made an amazing display of dominance in others. We are very excited for his accomplishment at the World's most prestigious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament, and are looking forward to seeing more of him on the mat!
     Eliot went into competition on Saturday, and battled his way to the Semi-finals, finishing with a BRONZE medal in the Super-Heavy brown belt division. Shutting out his opponents until he reached the semi-finals, Eliot overcame much adversity in anticipation of the event. Please make sure to congratulate both competitors the next time you see them!

     In addition to congratulating Jordan and Eliot we would also like to congratulate all of the Sacramento Jiu-Jitsu competitors who participated in this event. Being the biggest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu event of 2012, it was great to have representation from Jiu-Jitsu schools in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Rocklin, and Sacramento! 

     Proving that this is the premiere event of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the top ranked competitors upset each other in an amazing display of athleticism and martial art spirit! We hope to bring more competitors to the following World Championships next year!
