Congratulations to the Kids of LIMAA! I must say that those privates that Noah has been taking with Master Donnie, sure did pay off!
Absolutely impressing!!!
I´m coming over from Sweden at end of May to visit the Academy for a weeks training… Then you´ll get the chance to “Kick my B…!” when it comes to “grappling”…
I´m a 50 year ‘young karate guy’ that will ‘test-train’ BJJ for the VERY first time…
Always remember that only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly!
This applies to me (trying out BJJ …) just as much as any of you now – in the start of your “sports careers”…
I´m looking forward to meet you all soon!

That is awesome kids!!! You make all your adult teamates very proud.
Congratulations to all the competitors!!! It takes a lot of courage to go out and do this. My family and I are so proud of all of you!!!!
Ti-Jean, you had a great day out there. I hope we didn’t embarass you too much with all that screaming, but we can’t help it!!! You’re great and we can’t tell you enough about how much we love you!!!!
It’s great to see these kid’s hard work pay off. I can’t wait until my kid is old enough to attend LIMAA. You all are wonderful!!!
That’s awesome. these kids are the future of the sport. I’m proud to be training at a school that also trained so many impressive youths.
