I am proud of everyone who competed at the recent Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships. The team competed well and prepared properly for a tournament of this magnitude. I thank James, Fiona, Benjie, and Matt for their contribution to our training. They have all shown great leadership in the past few months.
The journey was a worth while one. Not everyone brought home a medal, but all of you have transformed your games knocking on the door of the next level.
We need to continue what we have started. Worlds are a few months away. I appreciate your determination. Thank you all. - Dave Camarillo
