Marc Stevens Winning his Superfight

James Friar winning 1st place Blue Belt

Congrats to all Tai Kai and Jiu Jitsu Nation students that competed at the 2010 NAGA Mohegan Sun Grappling Championships

1) Marc Stevens won his superfight 8-0 totally dominating his opponent

3) James Friar for taking 1st place Blue Belt and 2nd place NO Gi Advanced losing in the finals to Renzo Gracie Black Belt and TUF veteran Dan Simmler

Congrats to Alec Kearns. Alec is 17 years old, Blue Belt, and an assistant kids instructor at Tai Kai Jiu Jitsu. This past weekend he went up to Canada to be one of the youngest refs to referee a Grapplers Quest. Not only did he ref the whole day but found time to compete. He took 1st Advanced Teens GI and 3rd Advanced Teens NO GI. Congrats ALEC. We appreciate all you do for the school at the school and how you represent yourself in the Jiu JItsu Community. So if you see Alec in class don’t don’t forget to shake his hand.

It was an awesome Phil Migliarese seminar with a lot of material covered and a great question and answer session. The belt ceremony was great. People were really pushed to earn their belts.

Congrats

Thank you to Phil Migliarese for coming up to help out with the promotions. Thank you to all the students and their families that made this happen

Congrats Michael Mucitell on winning his Pro Debut at Cage of Horrors. From what I understand Mike cut him up with a big right hand and was totally dominating the fight. In between the rounds the ref stopped the fight due to a cut. Congrats. Mike took this on short notice and performed awesome. Thanks to the guys that went up with him Darin Carol, Chris Roach, and Jordan Damon. Everyone at Tai Kai is proud of you Mike and had total confidence in you.

This week four more students were promoted to Blue Belt. Robert Matrone, Don Patti, Jeremy Logan Walker, and SIFU Kevin Seaman. All overdue and well deserved. Congrats guys.

Congrats to Alec Kearns for taking first in the teen division Blue Belt GI and taking 2nd in the NO GI in last week’s Grapplers Quest. Good Job Alec.
