The city of Los Gatos, California, is a lucky one for those who fight. Thus in 1994, when a limited national soccer team from Brazil, but disciplined and hard-nosed (and with soccer star Romario) stayed there during the World Cup in the USA. Undefeated after seven dramatic battles, Brazil was crowned champion.
In 2010, Los Gatos carries on proving its reputation as a hotbed of aces, with the upcoming American Cup, on May 1 and 2 at Los Gatos High School.
Organized by the creators of the U.S. Open, the masters from Claudio França’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, the 3rd American Cup will be more attractive for being near: the gym is just minutes from San Jose Airport.
On 1 May, the Jiu-Jitsu tournament kicks off with children born between 1995 and 2006 and for the purple belts of all ages and weights. On Sunday, the 2nd, the youth, adult & senior and masters of the other belt groups take the field.
