Congratulations to Austin, Brandon and Emmanuel for their awesome performances at the ADCC regional trials. All of the kids brought home medals in their division and some in divisions above what they normally compete in. I couldn't be prouder of the progress all of the kids are making in the class and this tournament exemplified that. The full tournament results will be up soon and I will post them ASAP.

Austin Dreifus takes second in freestyle wrestling tournament

Austin Dreifus, one of Gracie Barra Bellevue's first students, takes second place at a freestyle wrestling tournament in Bellingham last weekend. This was Austin's first freestyle tournament and he secured his second place victory after several hard matches and a grueling finals match, where he lost by only 2 points. Congratulations Austin!
