US Grappling held their fifth Junior Championships on Saturday, July 10th, 2010.  This is a different kind of jiu jitsu tournament- an event for just children and teens, with double elimination for all divisions, complete with an inflatable moon bounce for the kids! 

Lloyd Irvin’s children took home top honors, standing out in an impressive field of over 30 teams, including Saulo Ribiero, Yamasaki Academy, BJJ Revolution Team, De la Riva, American Top Team, and more than a dozen others who traveled to Virginia from as far away as Florida, Ohio, and Philadelphia.

See the Tournament Results Below

Notable jiu jitsu champion (and 2010 black belt Pan Jiu Jitsu finalist, Robert Drysdale black belt) Abmar Barbosa stopped by to show support of the event.  Here, he is pictured with US Grappling tournament director Andrew Smith.
