The Optimus Brazilian Ju Jitsu Academy near Dana Point had another dominant performance at one of the biggest martial art tournaments in the world-The Pan American Games.
Armando Gaeta smashed his first two opponents with the first match ending 28-0 and the second match ending with a beautiful rolling bow and arrow choke.
Our student Bryan Grebbin crushed the competition for a second year in a row winning both his division and the open division. Bryan is 52 years 'young'. He is currently undefeated, and nobody has ever scored a point on him in competition-a true inspiration.
