 PED in Jiu-Jitsu: Modafinil (Part 1 of 4)

Brea Jiu-Jitsu took a competition team of kids and adults to the Five Grappling tournament this past weekend. The competitors walked away with 1 gold, 4 silvers and 1 bronze! Paul and Richard closed out their division and the winner was decided by an intense game of rock, paper, scissors. Many of the kids were able to take pictures with their favorite BJJ stars like Keenan Cornelius, Clark Gracie and Andre Galvao. Great job to everybody!

We are currently working on an after school promo video. Check out some of the raw footage we have so far!

We had 2 competitors enter the NABJJF tournament this weekend and both brought home the gold.  Rick trained  mornings at Brea Jiu-Jitsu and evenings at RGOC to get the job done. Nice job guys!

Benny was able to secure the submission victory in under 2 minutues of his UFC debut on Wednesday. Check out the full fight!

Benny got word while sharing the mats with us last night that his opponent has pulled out of the fight due to a ruptured appendix. The fight will be moved down to 155 and Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman has verbally agreed to the match. Click the link below for more details. Less than 2 weeks to go!
