For the second year in a row, the IBJJF Vegas Summer International Open first place trophy went back to Arizona. The one-day tournament on Aug. 9 was a big day for the Nova Uniao team.
Led by GMA member Gustavo Dantas of GDJJ, team Nova Uniao took 34 competitors to Vegas and captured a total of 37 medals! That’s 17 gold, 11 silver and 9 bronze medals
“Winning is the result of being technically, physically and mentally prepared,” says the BJJ Mental Coach. “I am the leader of the team, but I’m not the only one responsible for the win, this was a team effort. This result would not be possible without the help of all coaches and assistant coaches of GD Jiu-Jitsu Association,” stated Dantas.
