Savarese BJJ’s great tournament showing

Savarese BJJ’s great tournament showing was on display saturday at a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament in NJ. It was a great day for the Savarese BJJ competition team today at the NJBJJF (https://www.njbjjf.com/).

Tuning Up for World Championship next weekend

Leo Alves, Sean Yadimarco, Caitlin McManus and Ariana Lynn wanted to tune up for the Worlds in 2 weeks and came up pretty well. Leo continues his submission streak w 2 more subs. He has won 9 of his last 10 matches by submisson. He closed his division w Sean, who had his best tournament of 2017 so far imo. Caitlin also won her division. Ari dominated her first match, losing in the finals by a refs decision.( btw, we haven’t won a refs decision at the NJBJJF in 2 yrs).

Rest Of The Comp team

Congrats to William Pike, from our Training 4 Life team who showed some mental toughness that I always like to see. Will had a tough day at the Big Apple Open 2 weeks ago and came back strong today to earn a silver medal in his division, winning his 1st match by over 20 pts. Our little beast Kayla Zep bumped up and took silver in her division. Anthony Del Guercio had a good match too unfortunately suffering a knee injury that we hope isn’t serious. Also congrats to Babatunde Ojo who finished strong but came up short. Also congrats to our kids, w 10 kids competing, 8 took gold or silver.
