San Pedro Martial Arts Academy brings more medals home this past Saturday. Check it out…

This Past Saturday our Kids Team went to battle for the last time in 2016 at the Dream BJJ Tournament.We want to Thank all the kids on our Program for training hard and never whining to get everyone ready for the competition. 

Jarry Sessions (yellow belt) took 1st place, defeating the same opponent twice in a very tough best of three bouts, Ethan Cook (white belt) took 2nd place in his debut scoring an awesome cross collar choke in his first match and Marina Iacono (grey belt) took 3rd place.

We are very proud for all the hard work and commitment of this young Samurai with dealing with preparations and adversities of training. Thank you all the parents as well for trusting your children in our Program.
