D won first place at the IBJJF Orange County Fall Open yesterday 🥇🎊

We are very proud of him, not just for getting the win but because we know how much effort and preparation D has put into this accomplishment.

D is an exceptionally consistent and dedicated student. He is here for noon class every day like clockwork, and we all can clearly see the hard work he puts into his training.

He takes responsibility for his own development both on and off the mats — taking notes, reflecting on his experiences, studying at home, and being willing to work on his weaknesses as well as his strengths.

On the day of the competition, D was able to stay composed under pressure and perform to his abilities, displaying the skills and mental fortitude that he has worked so hard to achieve.

Be sure to congratulate him on a job well done 🙌

We all know Zang for his stoic demeanor (and his killer D’arce). Though he is a man of few words, his actions speak loud and clear. Over the years we have gotten to know Zang for his patience, persistence, and dedication — both to his own self-development, and in his steadfast support of those around him.

This past weekend, we were happy to be present in support and celebration of Zang and his wife Katie at their wedding. We saw a glimpse of the sillier side of Zang, and heard him speak more words during his vows than in the past 5 years combined 😂 The ceremony was sweet and heartfelt, and we were grateful to be a part of their special day.

Congratulations Zang and Katie! Cheers to the adventures ahead 🎊🥂🥰
