This past weekend our friend Cleber Luciano and his wife Lili hosted for the 20th consecutive year the Copa Pacífica of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Huntington Beach at Ocean View High School.
We want to congratulate all students, the ones that fought and represented our School flag and the rest of them for training hard and helping prepare their teammates.
On Saturday the 22nd, Jarry S. (14) took 1st place after defeating by 2 wins, in a best out of 3, against a green belt. Jarry had total domination on both matches and came out with the gold to bring back to San Pedro. On the podium Jarry stood by himself after his opponent refused to go get his 2nd place medal. Carlos L. (12) had a tough match and ended up with 2nd place.
On Sunday the 23rd was the adults white and blue belts turn to get their battles on. The first one on deck was Tobin Woodley on the Masters White belt Light weight division. Tobin took 1st place, had 3 matches and totally rolled them all up. First match cross collar choke from mount position, second match a beautiful 15 seconds arm bar from closed guard and final match won by lots of points and no points scored against.
Jose Martinez was the next one on deck, Maters White belt Middle weight division, and scored 2nd place by defeating the first opponent by guillotine choke and loosing the final on the sudden death. Erin Donnelly also took 2nd place in the Women Masters White belt Super Feather weight division.
Our Army Major Hal Shannon Howerton, Blue Belt heavy weight, scored 1st place after defeating both of his opponents and finishing the final match by Submission (Americana). Gary Mikaelian scored 3rd place via guillotine choke on the 3rd place bout for the Master II blue belt light weight division.
We also would like to thank Biagia Nguyen and Bryan Castillo for coming out and competing. The results were not how we expected but they fought their butt off and kept their head up.
Thank you all once again and stay tuned!
Congratulations to Dylan Bruno on his Blue Belt promotion. Dylan had been watching his boys, Odin and Damian, for several months from the sidelines at the kids classes and finally decided to join us in our Adult Program. Dylan was a great addition to the family and we are very happy to see the Bruno’s on their journey to black belt.

Hello San Pedro!,
As we all know we are Celebrating our 10 year Anniversary in business! That’s right 10 years spreading Jiu-Jitsu here in town. That being said, Sensei Pedro decided to share a technique that he has been doing since he started Jiu – Jitsu back in 1995.
The Hook Sweep is one of Sensei’s favorite techniques and in the video below you’ll get to see how he does it. We hope you enjoy it…
Zach throws Brian and Display crisp technique!
Enjoy it……

This past Saturday, December 8th, the Pedro Soriano Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy held our year end belt ceremony for our students. Many faces, new and old, came by to be apart of this event and it was a huge success. A lot of our students were rewarded for their hard work and dedication to jiu-jitsu either by earning a stripe or being promoted to a new belt. Congratulations to Olivia Douglas, Steven Gomez, Joseph Lopez, Cotie Edwards, John Martinez, and Michael Delaney for all being promoted to the next belt. For those of our students who did not receive acknowledgment of some kind or another, please do not be discouraged, but instead let that be the motivator to get you there the next time. We would like to thank everyone that is apart of our school and let you know that we appreciate you more than you know.
