As always, Team Maxercise proudly represented our international affiliate, Gracie Humaita. As always, our team mates did an awesome job.
First, our women fought great! We pride ourselves on having one of the best women's teams in the Nation. Our blue belt representatives, Tonya Minninger and Samantha Faulhaber closed out their division, cinching the Gold and Silver medals. Our newest Brown Belt, Jennifer Petrina, fought her first Brown/Black belt division and won the first match against a tough black belt, bringing home the Bronze!
Zak Maxwell, what can you say? Zak went into his division Saturday, winning his first three matches very convincingly, losing his fourth match only by the smallest of points, securing the Bronze! After picking his head up, he got back out on the mat Saturday to compete in the open division. For those not familiar, the open division is open weight, Zak weighs 150 pounds. There were 200+ competitors in the division, Zak went 7-1 for the day, losing a close, close match securing the silver. Although Zak didn't technically take home the gold, everyone in attendance knew Zak was the winner that day! We could not be more proud of his accomplishments. He definitely shocked the world with his performance!!
All the rest of our guys, Andre, Tim, Brian and Justin all fought fantastic and most of them won matches. We are very proud of your representation of our school and of the world class Jiu Jitsu taught here.
Congratulations to our brothers and sisters from Saulo Ribeiro and Gracie Humaita on their accomplishments this year as well. Xande Ribeiro won his division as well as the open. This is twice for him! Leticia Ribeiro also took home a bronze. Lovato brought home the silver! We are proud to stand along side you guys!
Thank you to all the competitors and to our Head Coach, Regis Lebre for all his hard work and dedication. A special congratulations to Regis for being one of the first recognized BJJ Black Belts here in the United States by the CBJJ!
