Pirata Jiu Jitsu

Quick shouts to the boys who travelled down to Texas for the IBJJF Waco Open today! 3 competitors 6 GOLDS!!

Jeremy in his return from surgery makes a statement taking double gold! Rust?! What rust?? This dude didn’t take a day off. And I mean not a day, he hobbled in the day after surgery to be there to watch class. His disciple and determination is next to none. With this attitude and drive we cannot wait to see him back in the majors this upcoming year! Congrats, Jeremy!

Jason with his second double gold to start out purple belt! After dominating the KC open he returns with another strong performance in Waco! Not bad for a guy who never thought he would compete. It’s been a blessing to see who you become in the process! Pans championship… loading! Let’s go!

Round it out is Andy who won white belt pans this year, taking his first IBJJF at blue by storm! Way to break in that blue belt proper, only a small sample of what you’re going to do at this belt! DOGS!!!

What a weekend, boys! Enjoy it, back to work this week! PROUD!!

A special shoutout and congratulations to an incredible young man, Xander aka Coach Pirata’s “Mini Me” on receiving his well earned and deserved blue belt last night. Xander is a model student on and off the mats. Not only does he work hard for himself, but he lifts up every single person in the room with him. A true shining light in our gym, always a positive attitude and ready to get after it every single day. We couldn’t be more proud of the of this “kid” and the example he has set and continues to set for the ones coming up behind him. Congratulations, Xander! Time to run with the big dogs!!

Take a stroll down memory lane. Swipe right to see young Xanders come up!
