Last Sunday, our Jiu-Jitsu team competed at the Grappling X tournament at Westlake High School. Even though we had only ten kids and three adults competing, we made a huge impact and won some incredible awards.
In the Youth No-Gi competition we took first place. In the Youth Gi competition we earned second place. These wins show how hard our team has been training and how much we've learned throughout the year.
Our young athletes brought home
- Nicolas — 3rd place
- Angelo and Colten — 2nd place
- Kasen — gold and silver
- Jorden, Parker, and Tristen — double gold
- Blake and Dylan — gold
- Lennox — 3rd place
Our adult competitors

This victory isn't just about the medals. It's about our entire Gracie Barra Simi Valley family. Every student who trains with us and pushes their teammates in practice helped make this success possible. Our coaches — Aiden, Joel, and Taylor — were instrumental in guiding and supporting our students.
