Every year, the Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu Association gets together for a weekend of socializing and jiu jitsu. This year, the event was held in Oklahoma City and was hosted by Rafael Lovato Jr. Members of the RJJA came from all over the world to attend this event and it was well worth it.

To date, November 20th was the largest testing group with 21 students being tested! Everyone worked very hard of the past 2 months leading up to the test! As part of this test, I promoted 4 new blue belt. It was a long and arduous test, everyone passed with flying colors, and everyone had a briliant performance! I couldn't be prouder of this test group. We were also joined with my long time friend and training partner, Ruffhouse Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Jay Inciong and his family Jinky, Isabelle, and Jacob. Thank you for joining us and partaking in this very joyous occasion!
