Super congrats to all the Arnold BJJ competitors who competed this last weekend at the prestigious Pan Ams. Look at all these metals. Dakota continuing her domination winning 2021 Purple Belt Light Feather Adult Champion with a close 25 – 0 win in the finals.
Andrea Fiorino standing on 1s with 2 first-place medals.
Kirk is over here like Kill Bill training an elite group of female assassins.
Congrats to all.
Congrats to all the kids that leveled up.
#1 in the Big Easy. Congrats Michelle Schramm on winning the New Orleans Open! TRIPPLE GOLD!
While Carona was making most the nation gloomy and blue Dakota took that lemon of a year and squeezed it till it turned purple for her. “How?” … you might ask. Well … let’s just say Dr Fauci would not be happy with her social distancing practices this year, but in her defense … she WAS discouraging breathing.
Not only did Dakota NOT take the year off, she springboarded up the Jiu-Jitsu hierarchy to the coveted purple belt level.
Like the corona virus Dakota had people gaging, choking and quitting throughout the American nationals, AND the Pan Ams ( gi and no gi ) till Kirk felt so sorry for her competition that he promoted Dakota to purple to give that division a break.
Gloriously, Kirk awarded Dakota a purple belt right on the podium. Well deserved … well fought. SUPER CONGRATS to Dakota for her sprint to the top. The completion clapped in relief as well, knowing their blue belts would now make them immune to the Dakota pandemic sweeping the jiu-jitsu competition scene.
Well done.
It’s been over a YEAR since this site has updated anything. You might be tempted to think Arnold BJJ took the year off because of the pandemic … but NOPE … just their lazy web guy. Arnold BJJ has thrived and continued. The gym has gone through at least 3 design overhauls and still continued to compete and win. Here is looking forward too a far better … far more digitally updated … 2021.
It’s becoming the Dakota Classic. Dakota wins again this weekend wearing more gold than Mr T.
AT LAST … After years of dedication. After countless matches. After all the tournaments and MMA fights. After all the blood sweat and tears … ALL the ups and downs Jiu Jitsu brings every day. Sir Huff climbed to the very summit of the Jiu Jitsu mountain. The height that few who start ever get near. Stripe Rung after Stripe Rung. Belt plateau after Belt plateau. A journey that takes longer than a PHD.
And fitting to the final rung, Sir Huff finished it with a decisive standing choke. Returning from RESPECT with the Shadow Band.
A thousand Cheers and Congratulations due. Kirk Huff is now a Team Vaghi, SCMMA certified BLACK BELT.
Chi town was nothin but wind beneath Coach Huff’s wings this last weekend, landing him on top of number mountain. Congrats to coach Huff for his win this last weekend in no gi … stickin to his opponents like glue. There a cool video of it online. Maybe someone will make it “public” and we’ll put it up here. Coach Huff’s competition has been on POINT lately. He’s probably rollin right now.
