Grappling X is a San Diego tournament that brings the local academies together for some good competition to check the level of each others Jiu Jitsu. This event had almost 700 competitors!! The Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu competition team had around 55 competitors alone, including a strong kids team of about 25 kid competitors. The team did not disappoint, winning numerous division weight titles, the overall team title, and every single absolute title from white to brown belt!!! The team showed that they are maturing, and absorbing the technique taught by Saulo Ribeiro, and his black belts. This was the first tournament that new RJJA affiliate Outliers Jiu Jitsu of Santee, Ca. joined forces with University of Jiu Jitsu, and Jake Mapes BJJ to make up the Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu effort. One big family of martial artists! Some of the individual achievements were Aaron Eberhart winning his weight and the absolute divisions at white belt. Nisar Loynab winning his weight and absolute divisions at blue belt. Michael Liera Jr. winning his weight and absolute divisions at purple belt. Finally, Darragh O’Connail only had an absolute division at brown, he won that . Darragh did get his double gold later in the evening, winning the NoGi portion of the event. Overall, the team was well prepared, and it showed in the results. Congratulations to all who competed!
