On Saturday Septem
ber 27th 2014 in Pennsylvania students from Top Flight MMA Academy represented the school at one of the biggest grappling tournaments The North American Grappling Association(NAGA). NAGA always brings out the some of best grapplers in the area, and Saturday wasn’t any different.
The day started off with the students from the Master club and The Teen Competition team and ended with the Adult BJJ program, the students that competed were Jordan Stewart(Teen), Jaidyn Harris(Master Club), Faith O’Donnell(Teen), Bobby O’Donnell(Master Club), Ronny Jones(Teen), Zane Rineer(Master Club), Dyan Pierre(Master Club), Josh McGuire(Master Club) and Brian Blanchard(Adult BJJ).
Everyone went out there and put on a great performance, they all showed physical and mental toughness on the mat. The students put in a lot of hard work and dedication here at the Gym everyday and it was on full display. Every student here at Top Flight has constantly been improving and expanding there knowledge in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ), I am proud to see the growth and I am excited to see what the future holds for the Top Flight students in the upcoming tournaments.
