Continued Success for LINXX Youth Jiu-Jitsu Team
November 6 and 13, 2010

Small rollers keep bringing in big packages to LINXX Academy of Martial Arts. Team LINXX continues to make their impact tournament after tournament, and everyone couldn’t be more proud. Another big month in November resulted in a total of 23 gold medals, 18 silver medals, 8 bronze medals, and 3 trophies between our grapplers.

The Junior Grappling Association hosted its inaugural Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission wrestling tournament in Woodbridge, Virginia on November 6, 2010. The day was testament to the dedication characteristic of Team LINXX and their families. Chaperones Cristina Corbe and David Lockhart headed north with young grapplers Gavin Corbe, Deandre Corbe, Kai Lockhart, and Malik Sheppard. The boys took to the mats and rolled out with 2 team trophies, 9 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 1 bronze medal in over 10 divisions. In light of the impact the team placed on the event, the Junior Grappling Association featured LINXX Academy and its team on the event website.

The following weekend, Team LINXX was right back on the mats. On November 13, 2010, The Good Fight returned to Virginia Beach to host the 2010 championship tournament. 21 registered Team LINXX fighters, 3 of which were grappling at their first tournament, rolled out with 14 gold medals, 16 silver medals, and 7 bronze medals. The dominant rollers rallied a total of 416 crowned points; surpassing the next school on the list by over 150 points! An excited group of young LINXX teammates topped the day’s successes off with a victory train around the mats, affirming the camaraderie the Academy is well-known for.

LINXX Academy congratulates everyone on a job very well done! The school continues to grow and the gold medals keep rolling in for our Jiu-Jitsu competitors. Another triumphant month for Team LINXX makes for more to be thankful about.
