Congrats to all who competed in the Neon Capitals fierce competitions. We had competitors in all manners of BJJ events struggling and attaining the metals of hard work and honor. Michelle Schramm with the hard-fought and well-deserved bronze. Andrea Fiorino bringing the grit and determination, achieving the Bronze as well. And Dakota Zimmerman pressure testing her skills in a higher weight division STILL achieving the Bronze.
And topping it off, the rising star, Mackenzie Pratt, dominated her division to not only get the Gold but advancing rank in victory from grey belt to Rising Sun Yellow.
Great job to all!
Super Congrats to Colin Parker for WINNING his first boxing match. Taking a break from choking people and unhinging limbs Colin decided to give the sweet sweet science a go and go he did. Big congrats to him for stepping in there and bang bang bang …. getting the job done. Way to go!
SUPER CONGRATS to Dakota and Michelle for competing AND attaining the prestigious … coveted … World Metals. Dakota snatching a Silver and Michelle snatching a Bronze. The Worlds tournament is what BJJ practitioners judge champions by and these two are certainly that. Big congrats to you both.
And special congrats to Captain Kirk for winning the Wako Open. He now holds the championship straightjacket, toppling long time title holder and David Koresh student to attain both the title and church membership. Congrats to him.
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!
Tornado touched down in Kansas City this weekend, picking up enough gold squares to build a yellow brick road back to Arnold Missouri. Congrats to all the competitors who competed with their fearless leader, Captain Kirk, who brought back much plunder from their organized raid. Their fearless heroin ,Dakota Zimmerman, secured the #1 ranked Ibjjf spot in the world purple belt light feather weight division, continuing her climb. What an awesome weekend for the team.
Oooooohhh generation of VIPERS. 🙂 …. Collecting those gold coins like a Super Mario. Dakota and Randall led the team to heavy metal glory this weekend. Look at all those medals. Thanks to Dorian Brownlee for those cool shots. Great job everyone!
#1 in the Big Easy. Congrats Michelle Schramm on winning the New Orleans Open! TRIPPLE GOLD!
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.
What feels better than all your hard work surging through your arms, out your gloves and into your drowning opponent … over and over to victory? NOTHING … NOTHING feels better than that. And THAT is what Amethyst felt this weekend as she strove and fought TRIUMPHANTLY to victory. SUPER congrats Amethyst Depeter for a win well deserved.
