* ATTN: ALL STUDENTS! *
As many of you already know, I will be headed to Brazil this Friday. As a result, I've modified the schedule for Friday May 2nd to Tuesday May 13th. The following classes have been removed from the schedule until we return to the normal schedule on Wednesday May 14:
-Tues and Friday 12pm Classes
-Wednesday's 7:30am Class
All other classes (Kids, Evening, Weekend etc.) remain as usual, so Train Hard!! Mr. Brian will be running the Children's classes, and Chuck will be teaching the Adult Fundamentals. If you haven't had the chance to work with Chuck, this is a great opportunity. He trains primarily in the morning and noons, is an advanced purple belt and has a wealth of experience and knowledge. I’ll be back before you know it with some new techniques and tricks to add to our curriculum!

BJJU Tournament Results
Paramount BJJ brought 11 students to compete at the BJJ United In-House tournament this weekend- our biggest competition turn-out to date! Each and every student performed up to or above expectations, I couldn't possibly be more proud. Check out the results below and stay tuned for more pics!
Competitors get instructions before the Tournament
Brian Sieb - 2nd place, Blue belt Featherweight (won submission of the day with a superfast wristlock!)
Ryan O'Connell - 3rd place, White belt Featherweight (just started training this year!)
Matt Bauer - 3rd place, White belt Lightweight (lost his first match, and battled thru the consolation bracket with 3 straight submissions!)
Steve McKenna - 2nd place, White belt Middleweight (Steve decided to do the tournament yesterday! Still he won a total of 4 matches including a katagatame choke and triangle choke.)
Steve Miller - 2nd place, White belt Open weight, 3rd place Middleweight (Steve had a total of 6 matches and was very impressive. In the semi-finals of the Open he swept a much bigger opponent before finishing him with a cross choke from the mount.)
Eric Young had some wars in Blue Belt, losing an exciting 7-6 battle in his weight class and winning 6-2 before losing in the Open weight.
"Chef" lost a super close 2-0 match in Blue belt Middleweight, but showed strong passing and composure.
Evan Henderson lost a controversial 0-0 decision in a fantastic match in the White belt Lightweight.
Joe Marciano faced teammates in his weight class, so he jumped into the Open and lost a close 7-3 match to a big and very strong opponent, it was a war!
Mike Todd finished his first opponent with a guillotine choke before losing on points in the White belt Open weight division.
Chad Bender had a tough draw, losing to the Open Class champion in his weight class then taking on the same giant that Joe fought. Both matches were impressive, Chad showed that he's been drilling his techniques and its only a matter of time before they're unstoppable.
Paramount BJJ Competition Team at BJJU
Every single competitor from Paramount showed technique, potential, and most importantly heart- Not once did I anyone consider quitting, and almost everyone jumped into the Open just to get more practice. As I said I am very very proud of each student, I can't wait for the next tournament!
