We had a great time Saturday at the Jiu-Jitsu Worl

We had a great time Saturday at the Jiu-Jitsu World League (@jjworldleague) with our team. We saw a lot of improvement from our kids, and it showed in every match. Wins and losses alike brought valuable lessons that will help us continue to grow. 📈

A solid display of skill, determination, and heart. Competing takes real courage. Congratulations to everyone who earned a medal, and well done to all the kids for their progress and commitment.

We had 10 students competing and brought home 11 medals: 4 🥇, 4 🥈, and 3 🥉. We couldn’t have done this alone—thank you to all the parents and coaches for your constant support. ❤️

Last Saturday, our student and coach Michael Giancaterino (@carzan17) stepped into a super fight at Talk Bout Tournament 11 (@_talkbout) and came out victorious with a rear-naked choke! 🔥

We couldn’t be more proud of him. His work ethic speaks for itself, and it’s amazing to see how much he has grown in Jiu-Jitsu. All his dedication and hard work are paying off.

🥇 Congratulations, Michael! Well deserved! 👏🏽🚀🫡🥷

Thank you to @_jackmarr and the entire Talk Bout organization for the opportunity for Michael “Tarzan” to showcase his Jiu-Jitsu skills.

IBJJF 2026 Pan American Champion 🥇 After a yea

IBJJF 2026 Pan American Champion 🥇

After a year, it feels amazing to be back where I belong. Last year I finished second at Pan Ams, this time I returned stronger, more focused, and determined to take gold.

I always step on the mat to win—by submission, points, or decision. Unfortunately, the finals didn’t go as planned. My opponent, Kyle Sleeman, a great athlete and an even better person, was injured and couldn’t continue. I wish him a fast and full recovery 🙏🏽 It was an honor to share the mats with you again.

This was a tough division—31 competitors, the largest bracket in the Masters category. Sharing the mats with high-level athletes from around the world was truly an honor.

I’m grateful for the experience, the challenges, and everything this tournament demanded of me. I wasn’t able to stand on the podium with my finals opponent due to his injury, but I have nothing but respect for him and everyone in the division.

Thank you everyone for all the love and support!

I said this might be my last run… but honestly, I’m done yet. I’ll be back, ready to defend this title. 🔥

🇧🇷 Campeão Pan-Americano IBJJF 2026 🥇

Depois de um ano, é incrível estar de volta ao lugar onde eu pertenço. No ano passado fiquei em segundo no Pan Americano — desta vez voltei mais forte, mais focado e determinado a conquistar o ouro.

Sempre entro no tatame para vencer — seja por finalização, pontos ou decisão. Infelizmente, a final não terminou como eu planejei. Meu adversário, Kyle Sleeman, um grande atleta e uma pessoa incrível, se lesionou e não pôde continuar. Desejo a ele uma recuperação rápida e completa 🙏🏽 Foi uma honra dividir o tatame com você novamente.

Foi uma divisão dura — 31 atletas, a maior chave da categoria Master. E uma grande honra competir com atletas de alto nível vindos de todas as partes do mundo.

Sou grato pela experiência, pelos desafios e por tudo que esse campeonato exigiu de mim. Não pude dividir o pódio com meu adversário da final por conta da lesão, mas tenho total respeito por ele e por todos da divisão.

Cheguei a pensar que esse seja meu último Pan, mas ainda não é a hora. Eu voltarei — pronto para defender esse título. 🔥

Yesterday I had the opportunity to teach a seminar

Yesterday I had the opportunity to teach a seminar at Ricardo Rezendes’ academy, BJJ Gainesville (@bjjgainesville ) in Florida.

Being on the mats, exchanging experiences, and sharing a bit of what Jiu-Jitsu has taught me is truly priceless.

Ricardo, thank you for the opportunity, brother! It was so good to see you again.

Grateful to everyone who was there. Until next time! 🫡🙏🏽

🇧🇷 Ontem tive a oportunidade de ministrar um seminário na academia do Ricardo Rezendes, a BJJ Gainesville, na Flórida.

Estar no tatame, trocando experiências e compartilhando um pouco do que o Jiu-Jitsu me ensinou é algo realmente sem preço.

Ricardo, obrigado pela oportunidade, irmão! Foi muito bom te rever.

Gratidão a todos que estiveram presentes. Até a próxima!

We really didn’t want to cancel classes today, especially after just reopening the academy, but it’s very rough outside. 😕 The roads don’t seem safe, and we’re not sure what the plaza parking lot looks like with all the snow.

We’ll see you tomorrow! Stay warm and safe! 🙏🏽
