Our team celebrated our tremendous victories yesterday. We took a picture holding our 2nd place team and elite 8 banners from the Jiu-jitsu World League. A feat no one else in the county has been able to come close to! These awards show that our hard work and methods are working. To achieve this with such a small competitive team is completely amazing. Congrats to all who participated and all who helped those get ready and prepare. The preparation was the hard part and it paid off.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! 2nd place Academy and 2nd place Elite 8 Team awards at the Jiu-Jitsu World League today!! It was a day for the Primal Striking and BJJ history books. At the Jiu-Jitsu World League today Primal was on fire!! We took home multiple gold medals, silvers and bronzes. And ended up with two team trophies!!! Out of 206 Academies we took 2nd place!!!! And then we took 2nd as a team in the Elite 8 out of 123 Academies as well!!! Meaning we had 8 of the highest scoring people in the entire tournament!! An absolutely amazing achievement for our small homegrown school. We couldn't be more proud of our students and competitors.

We also humbly accepted the 3rd place overall organization trophy for our Professor Fabio Novaes who's lineage we carry on. Congratulations to him and all his students who have schools under his organization that helped contribute to this awesome achievement.

These team trophies are proof that what we're doing is working here at Primal, our kids and adults absolutely showed out today, producing multiple hard fought 1st place finishes.

The team would not be the same without all our amazing coaches and assistant coaches.

"I want to say I'm humbled and proud beyond belief of our team, just a few short years ago we were training in a small room at the back of a gym. Now we're the premier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Striking school in Hernando County!! In my 20+ years of training this is one of the biggest achievements we've been part of. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen!!! OSS!!!!!! -Coach Justin"
