Like an old school Ronin, Michelle traveled down to Florida by herself to kick em where the sun don’t shine. And although it was in Orlando, this wasn’t any Micky Mouse tournament. This was the Pans. A tournament ALL the big players cast themselves into the fire to show what kind of metal they’re their made of. And turns out Michelle is cast iron. She won the whole thing. Her incredible transformation and journey can be seen in one of the images below. Super congrats to her for going for her dreams and achieving.
A fine tearful, grateful, goodby to the birthplace and home of Arnold BJJ. This Tuesday is the LAST day we shall assemble to chokeology. This place has been baptized in our sweat, effort … probably some blood. And we are grateful for all the time we spent here … shaking our neighbors above … and poaching their WI FI. ( tears of nostalgia ). BUT … we can always come visit you … oh basement of our youth … because Ed will still be boxing here. So we will come visit when we can.
Grateful for 6 good years.
What a Valentine’s Day Gift. They say the purple belt is the absolute HARDEST to get in BJJ. Its the moment you leave the casual BJJ practitioner and join the elite few who actually make it to PURPLE BELT. Its a TRULY monumental occasion and in true Kirk Huff fashion he snuck up and surprised Gage with the MASSIVE level up. SUPER SUPER CONGATS to Gage for having the grit and consistency that it takes to get there. Maybe it DOES make sense to present it on Valentine’s Day considering how much heart you have to have to get there.
AGAIN … SUPER CONGATS GAGE!
Super congrats to Myles and Cassidy the Kid on their wins this weekend. Cassidy won a BIG belt at New Breed, and Myles submitted all his opponents. These two are amasing quite the portfolio EARLY. 🙂 BIG CONGRATS!
Big Congrats to Michelle Schramm for for her rogue victory in the Dallas AGF. Winning GOLD in her division and even reaching up one weightclass above and snatching their silver. WAY TO GO MICHELLE!
BIG congrats to ALL who competed this weekend. EVERYONE won gold! Way to represent guys!
HIGHEST CONGRATULATIONS to NEAL LEWIS for achieving what very few who start along the BJJ path achieve. He has officially made it to the TOP
Dreams DO come blue and this white Christmas traded UP! SUPER SUPER congrats to the newest Arnold BJJ Blue Belts. Santa Kirk had you 4 on the DESERVE list. For you 4 its been a long time coming and you all worked HARD for it, showed up at the right spot AND in a fantastic show of physical and mental metal, endured the grueling final test of a Vaghi Blue; solidifying your place amongst the honored Vaghi Blue Sentinels.
So wear your blue PROUDLY. YOU 4 EARNED IT!!!
Also congrats to all the others on team Vaghi that leveled up. Did you see that room. Teaming FULL of exhausted choke piranhas ALL leveling up!
ALSO … check out the number of BLUES on our member page. Jumping up from first floor white to second floor true blue. -> ARNOLD BJJ MEMBERS
Big Congrats to all who competed at No GI Worlds. Bryan Mellberg came home with the lion share of precious metals ( BIG CONGRATS TO HIM ), winning hard fought matches via his snap trap armbar. But No GI Worlds is NO JOKE so congrats to all who put it on the line and competed this weekend.
Monumental Congrats to Sara Schulte for making it to the Blue Summit. All that hard work has finally paid off and you deserve it. Big congrats to you as you hang up the tattered worn white-belt for deep navy blue.
