Big Congrats to all the kids that competed last week. Arnold BJJ competes and wins so much it’s hard to keep up. Look at all those medals. Myles got like 4 himself. Coach Huff and Coach Zimmerman must be VERY PROUD.
Way to represent!
I won every IBJJF match I had as a white belt since I joined Arnold- with 0 points scored against me.
Won Pan Ams, was the number one ranked Master 2 female white belt. Got my Blue Belt, became Masters 2 Super Heavy World Champ.
I also had my first Super Fight with Fight2Win and won.
Currently, I’m ranked #1 in no gi and #4 in gi nationwide for Fuji tournaments (masters women)
I’m 40 years old, live in South County, and I’m a teacher. Last year I opened my own micro-school during the pandemic so that kids who needed in-person education had options while all of our local districts had decided to only offer virtual learning. We had a successful year and are hoping to continue to meet the needs of kids who don’t fit in the box public schools try to put them in.
I started at Arnold BJJ last summer, my previous gym was in St Louis County and was closed due to Covid regulations. I just needed to get back on the mats; jiujitsu helps me manage my anxiety and depression. Jefferson County had fewer restrictions, so I reached out to see if I could drop in on some classes till my gym opened. I ended up staying at Arnold because one night we were talking about tournaments; I said “I like competing, it’s fun, but I’ll never be a World Champion or anything” – Everyone in the room stopped and looked at me and was like “why not?” Kirk and Dakota both told me I could absolutely do that if it’s what I wanted.
Kirk doesn’t tell you things that aren’t true, but he will completely support you in achieving whatever you want as long as you are willing to put in the work it takes to get there.
I also love the number of women we have training. One night we had 7 women in class! Most gyms are lucky to have 2 or 3.
We have an amazing women’s team full of strong competitors and great role models.
In my opinion, there isn’t a better place to train in the whole world than Arnold BJJ.
Just saying congrats doesn’t do justice to receiving a Vaghi/SCMMA Jiu-jitsu blackbelt but … we’re on the internet so … we can’t do alot more. So MEGA MEGA congrats to Alan Smith for reaching a summit few reach. You deserve a room full of spectators, a procession, maybe a staircase with a sword at the top of it, but again we are on the internet so … how about some fireworks? … again MEGA SUPER CONGRATS!!!
Super congrats to Julius Anglickas for winning the LFA Championship belt Friday night. I’m sure this is just one of many he will win. Just looking at him makes you want to give him a big belt. Like when he walks into the doctors office they just write down… “MMA Champion” in the occupation without even asking. But hard work and dedication is also needed which Julius has in stride. And in the fires of Mount SCMMA he was forged for battle. And it has all led up his glorious first pro Championship Title. … bet that feels good.
SUPER CONGRATS!!!

Big B storming 2019 like a swat agent, puttin the collar on that big W. Starting the year off RIGHT!. Super congrats to Brandon for winning Saturday night with style. Check out them pics below. Yeeeeah!
Is this not the baddest MMA pic of the year. A pic so bad Sho’nuff would be jealous. Randy looks like he’s taking that dude’s lunch money. Or that dude said something about a family member. Bad ass! Look how Bryan’s pointing at him in the next pic … “It was him officer!” ( I know he’s being a good sport … just joking ) SUPER congrats to Randy for his hard fought victory over Bryan Barkan. Big show of heart and drive. Look at how deep that Kimora is. I’m tapping looking at it, but not Randy. Way to GO!!!
