Nearly two years ago, the “Team Hybrid” name was unknown on the grappling circuit. This weekend that all changed. Our BJJ and Submission Grappling team took the NAGA (North American Grapplers Association) tournament by storm at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton VA. Team Hybrid coaches Matt Schwaner and Scott Horne competed alongside our student competitors against the fiercest competiton in Hampton Roads. Our students, both kids and adults, as well as staff shined brightly under the expert coaching of Ribeiro BJJ Black Belt Scott Oates, with the assistance of Ribeiro BJJ Brown Belt and instructor Steve Nelson.
In the end, Team Hybrid/ Ribeiro BJJ won 8 Gold, 8 Silver, and 1 Bronze Medals, proving that the HTC is a forced to be reckoned with in ALL aspects of MMA. Congratulations to our grappling warriors for doing us proud.
