Jiu Jitsu Tournament

We had a new experience today at an area Jiu Jitsu tournament.  Two of the boys that grapple with Ryland and Reed were participating, so we went to show support.  

They did amazing, and we all watched very intensely as they won gold.  We all love Sampson Jiu Jitsu and look forward to Ryland and Reed completing one day.

Gold Dragon Team are Champions!

Ryland finished up the season with a first place finish.  The Gold Dragons fought hard to beat the bully team and an undefeated team.  This has been a great experience for Ryland and for our family.  We have been blown away by the coaches.  They always focused on fun and the love of the game.  Ryland grew so much on the field, but so much more off the field.  He made lots of new friends and learned to be proud of not running in his Old Union pack.

Black Dragon Team finish 3rd!

Reed finished up the season with a playoff tournament.  His team was played hard and almost beat the top ranked team.  They have improved so much over the past few months.  Reed started this season with tears at practice, and he is now proud and excited to play ball.  He has really grown in focus and determination.
