Paulo and Miyao are using Brea Jiu-Jitsu as their so cal headquarters for the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam LA. Here is a picture from this mornings 7AM training.

Check out Javier competing at masters worlds!

With 1 win, Matt took 3rd place in the masters 5 (50-54!) world championships.

After Steveo took default gold in his masters 6 weight division (55+!) and with 1 win took silver in the absolute.

Though Joe didn’t place in the masters 4 (45-50) category this time, he trained very well for the tournament and is sure to rack up the medals in due time.

Steveo, Matt and Joe are an inspiration to everybody at Brea Jiu-Jitsu!

With 4 matches, Bryan Clavecilla just took a bronze at the IBJJF Masters World Championships in the brown belt masters 2 middle heavy division!

Check out our awesome new schedule which added a TON of new kids classes. We also opened up a beginning band program that is available to both our members and non members!

Bryan takes first place at this last weekends Jiu-Jitsu World League tournament. Way to go!

Due to the pan ams, there will be no classes on Thursday so we can be out supporting Omar, John and Steveo. We will be having an open mat for adults at 7PM, but get to UCI to support them if you can!

In his yellow belt debut, Nolan Stuart took 1st pace at the most prestigious kids tournament in the world – the IBJJF Pan Kids. In his division were many athletes from top teams including competitors who had traveled from Brazil! In addition to being part of our kid’s Jiu Jitsu classes, kids competition team and adults classes, Nolan is part of our after school program. He gets a daily study session, music classes and science class.  He plays mellophone and recently earned student of the month honors at Brea Junior High!

The least important thing Nolan has received at Brea Jiu-Jitsu is instruction on specific techniques.  Vastly more important than technical instruction is a careful cultivation of a mentality which the pursuit of excellence is the norm and an atmosphere which fosters a love for the art.  Nolan was one of our first students and he is reaping the reward of all of his hard work and dedication.

Most of our kids choose not to compete, but we have the infrastructure and environment where the kids can excel if they so desire!

Zach, Lauren, Jenna (closeout) Sarah and Sam all took first at todays NABJJ All Americas tournament today! Great job to the Brea Jiu-Jitsu Kids Competition team!
