Jeremiah rocks at Houston BJJ tournament!
Our very own Jeremiah, JMX, submitted 90% of his oponents in his 7 fights ( GI and NOGI) and was the big name of GB Texas last Saturday, July 26th.
Another great performance came from Nick Felder. He got the second place on the NOGI division winning 4 fights. WIth a really smart and paced game, he was able to output points to the oponents and dominate them in the ground.
Remember that the school is 5 months old and Nick has 5 months of training only.
congrats to all!
