3 students went to participate in the South Bay Open of 2010' over the weeekend hosted by Caique Jiu-Jitsu in Carson California. Jeorge Villalobos, Chloe Cronin & Tom Cronin all brought home medals for the team. Jeorge went 3-0 on his way to his first championship gold medal and commented "I can't believe it! …I finally won!" Chloe Cronin was inserted into the adult division and despite competing against older more experienced practitioners, Chloe submitted her first opponent via armbar and won a silver medal and was all smiles for going 1-1 in her first major event. Father Tom Cronin went 3-0 with a first round win of 21-0 and then followed up with two submissions to pull in a Gold medal for the school.
Temecula Instructor Joao Assis has been putting on a clinic in NOGI Jiu-Jitsu lately. On May 28th at the UFC Expo in Las Vegas, Joao went undefeated and claimed 3 division titles against tough competition such as Bill Cooper, Josh Barnett and Jeff Monson. In his final match with Monson, Joao ended the fight by submitting the snowman from the back via choke. This victory earned Joao a spot in the Tachi Palace "Worlds Best Grappler" tournament in Lemoore Ca. In the 32 man event Joao faced stacked competition and submitted his first three opponents. He then won against Bruno Bastos in the semi final and faced ADCC & World champion Xande Ribeiro in a powerhouse final match that saw Joao working a brutal leglock on the highly ranked veteran.
