Lyndhurst Martial Arts school shines at Grapplers Quest

Savarese BJJ Academy, a Lyndhurst Martial Arts school, shined at Grapplers Quest this weekend. The Grapplers Quest is the biggest jiu-jitsu and submission grappling tournament in the United States. The small Lyndhurst NJ school is starting to get quite a reputation as one of the best up and coming Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in the country. People from all over the country are stopping in to train when they are in NJ and giving head instructor and owner Chris Savarese rave reviews as an instructor.

One of America’s best visits

This weekend, Rafael Lovato Jr, 1 of only 2 Americans to ever win the World BJJ Championship, sent his student Justin Rader to NJ by Savarese and had Savarese corner Rader in his quest to win the $1000 prize for the mens 140-149lb pro division! Rader came out on top, defeating Marcus “Louro”Galvao in the finals. Congrats to Rader and the rest of the following Savarese BJJ students who won the 6/12/10 Grapplers Quest.

Brianne Galante-womens middleweight whitebelt

Rob Machado-mens light whitebelt

Jason Castellanos-Childrens Advanced lightweight

Jeff Montagna-Childrens Intermediate 90-99lbs

AWESOME job everyone!

RGDA in Grapplers Quest’s Top 10 Teams of the Decade

RGDA Breaks TOP 10 in Grapplers Quest’s Teams of the Decade!!! Congratulations to the Royler Gracie/David Adiv Team (RGDA) and all the Teams that have made to Grapplers Quests events throughout these years. We truly respect and appreciate each of the teams that have pushed our few competitors to train harder and to constantly improve. With more schools coming up and our current school growing, I honestly believe with our instruction and better attention to detail in putting our team name on the sign-in sheets, we will do even better in the decade to come. Our team is still quite small, the fact that we made it into the top 10 is remarkable and a testament to the hard work of Royler Gracie, David Adiv, Rosendo Diaz and Chris Savarese for all their hard work in making our team great.

Thank You GQ!

A big thank you to the Grapplers Quest organization for providing us and the grappling community opportunities to compete. Look forward to the next 10 years!
