The 11th installment of Long Island Pride, held last weekend in Queens, New York, saw Kimura Jiu-Jitsu (adult) and Gracie Barra Long Island (kids) crowned team champions, with Kioto runner-up in both divisions. But 352 individual athletes in the colored belts, from 56 different schools, shone as well, with kudos going to Rafael Fernandes, winning the absolute purple belt division by beating Nick Liaskos. In the black belt superfight, Daniel Tavares (SAS) defeated Kevin Sheridan (Alliance).
