Team LINXX Jiu-Jitsu Tournament Success!
November 12, 2010

The Team LINXX Jiu-Jitsu competition teams successfully represented LINXX Academy at two separate events the weekend of November 12, 2011. Our Junior LINXX Jiu-Jitsu competitors battled it out at the Junior Grappling Association (JGA) North American Championship Tournament held in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and the adult competitors squared off at the U.S. Grappling Submission Only Tournament held in Ashland, Virginia.

Representing our Junior LINXX Jiu-Jitsu competition team was Deandre and Gavin Corbe. Deandre and Gavin competed in various divisions to include Gi, No-Gi, and advanced levels. Deandre (106 lbs) won 8 gold medals as well as 1 bronze medal in an exhibition match against a 160 lbs opponent. Gavin won 2 gold medals, 4 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals. The two brothers were the only competitors from LINXX Academy, but they earned enough points to take home a first place team trophy! In addition, Deandre was awarded a plaque for earning first place in season points. Kai Lockhart was also recognized for earning second place in season points for his age group. Great job Deandre, Gavin, and Kai!

The adult Jiu-Jitsu competition team also had some impressive results. Khristopher Gonzalez, Kris Moe, Patrick Tinidad, and Lisa Phillips competed in various divisions, to include Gi and No-Gi, at the intermediate and advanced levels. In this particular competition, no points were scored and there were no time limits. The only way you could win was by making your opponent tap-out! Khristopher Gonzalez brought home a gold medal in the advanced No-Gi division and a silver medal in the Gi division; Kris Moe won a silver medal in the advanced No-Gi division; Patrick Trinidad won a gold medal in the Purple Belt Gi division; and Lisa Phillips won a gold medal in the intermediate No-Gi division, a silver medal in the Gi division, and a silver medal in the absolute Gi division. Great job Team LINXX!
