Hundreds of competitors gathered at St. Mary’s University to compete in gi and no-gi divisions.
In the gi black belt belt division, Lucas Barbosa and Sijara Eubanks were the standouts with double gold campaigns.
Barbosa won the medium-heavy after final against Victor Silvério and then the open class after beating Manuel Filho in the final.
