Team Training: Jan. 10!!!!
Lloyd Irvin will host the 2009 Team Training on Saturday, January 10th at his Camp Springs, MD academy from 12pm to 3pm. If you've never been to one of the Team Training events I can assure you it's something you don't want to miss.

BJJ United Tourn Results
Another great tournament put on by Jared and everyone at BJJ United, and another successful tournament showing for Paramount. We brought nine students this time and just like the past few tournaments we had great results. Here's the breakdown:
Ryan O'Connell lost his first match in White belt Featherweight by 2x2, 2x1 advantages. He stuck around and entered the Open weight division and won his first match before losing another close one on points.
Ryan Zuver beat 3 very tough opponents to win the White belt Lightweight, then beat his first 2 opponents in the Open before losing a strange match in the Semi-finals. Ryan escaped a very tight armlock mid-match, but some of the spectators thought Ryan had tapped. Ryan went on to win by points, but declared his opponent the winner since he too felt that he had tapped the leg during the escape.
Zach Farhenholtz won the White belt Middleweight, winning his first two matches without any trouble before squeeking out the win in an all-out war in the finals. In the Open, Zach beat 3 more tough opponents to bring home two 1st place finishes. Zach ends up 6-0 on the day!
Brian Sieb beat his first opponent in the Blue belt Featherweight 11x0, then finished his opponent in the Finals with a clock choke for 1st place. In the Open, Brian used his infamous wristlock to win the first match before losing his second on points.
Kevin MacMullen bounced back from a first round loss in Blue belt Middleweight to tap all 3 opponents in the Blue belt -173lb Open weight and take home 1st place in his Blue belt debut. Kevin took first place after being down on points and rallying to submit his opponent with less than 30 seconds left.
Bruce Thomas was also competing as a Blue belt for the first time, and brought home two more 1st place finishes for Paramount by winning the Light Heavyweight and +173 Open weight. The final in his weight class was another match of the day candidate, with Bruce coming back from a 5 point deficit to score 13 unanswered points for the win.
Jim Mattson lost his first match in his weight class on points, escaping several tough spots and battling till the end. He entered the Open division and despite losing gained invaluable experience. This was Jim's first tournament after training just a couple of months.
The Stats:
Paramount students had 29 total matches, 20 wins.
We won 3 out of the 5 Open divisions.
Finishes:
Ryan Z: 1st place White belt LW, 3rd place Open
Zach: 1st place White belt MW, 1st place Open
Brian: 1st place Blue belt FW, 3rd place -173lb Open
Kevin: 1st place Blue belt -173lb Open
Bruce: 1st place Blue belt LtHW, 1st place +173 Open
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!
