    There are a couple events throughout the year that brings some of the best BJJ practitioners together to compete. One of these events is the Pan-American Championships of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which took place March 28-30 of 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Team Lloyd Irvin took its battle squad as usual.

    Mike Atkin added two more international medals to his collection after winning his weight class and taking home the silver in the Absolute Division.

    Nyjah Easton also won her first international Gold medal to put with her World Silver and Bronze. Professor Leo Dalla won the Masters black belt Super Pesado + Open.

    Congratulations as well to Fred Ramie who trains with us over at Crazy 88 BJJ but represents Boston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Despite having the option of fighting Masters, Fred jumped into the Adult Pesado division, and won a Bronze medal!

    Congrats to Leo Dalla on 2 Golds at PanAms!

    Congratulations to all of them on these huge accomplishments and we wish them luck in their training for the 2008 World Championships.
