They all had great matches as well, and these were the results:
Trinity – 2nd and 3rd place in 2 kid divisions for the Gi. She also had the second fastest submission in the kids division with a kimura.
Thiago – 2nd in the masters Gi division. He also scored the top points in the entire masters division including all belt colors getting 5th place out of many.

Congratulations to all of these students on their strong performances!
The following Monday was Halloween and we celebrated during kids’ class with costumes, bouncy houses, zombie freeze tag, mummy races, and of course Jiu Jitsu and candy!
