Two New JCBJJ/MMA LAB Brown Belts

Today, at the MMA LAB, two very deserving young men were promoted to Brown Belt.  Tyler Rolland and Luis Ordonez have been long time members at the LAB, and are part of the fabric of our team.

Both guys have  been a great help to us through the years, training with our Elite Team,  traveling with fighters, and teaching classes.  They are always ready to help do whatever needs to be done to help the team, and they are, pure and simple, monsters on the mat.

Thank you to both Tyler and Luis, our family would not be what it is without your love for the sport, and your dedication to the team….Congratulations!

Jordan Johnson Wins Gold at No-Gi Worlds

Jordan Johnson went to Long Beach, CA last weekend to compete in the No-Gi World Championships and came home with the Gold medal!  Jordan, an undefeated MMA fighter and Lab Elite member,  is an excellent grappler, and  was very impressive as he steam rolled through his bracket.  Jordan has become part of what makes our team at the Lab tick, and we are so happy that he had such a fantastic performance.  Way to go Jordan, excited for the future!
