The Gracie Barra academies in the Houston area came together on Saturday, August 31 for the kids to earn experience in competition. The internal Gracie Barra tournament gathered kids from their schools all around the area to meet at GMA member Ulpiano Malachias’ Gracie Barra Westchase location. GB Katy, GB Champions and Draculino’s Gracie Barra Texas all came with their kids to participate alongside the Westchase group.
There were a total of 115 kids in attendance ranging from age three to thirteen.
