Aaron and Jared represent Synergy at UGF

Posted on February 13, 2013 ·

L to R: Nate, Aaron, Jared, and Thomas

After many weeks of extra competition team training, two of our own suited up and entered the United Grappling Federation tournament held at Cosumnes River College this past weekend. Aaron Pombo took gold with a suffocating 7-2 win that nearly saw him finish his opponent with a gi choke from the back as time expired. In addition, Jared Mosier won his first match but suffered a tough defeat at the hands of his second opponent. It was a great match that saw great back and forth action. Stay tuned because this is only the beginning!

Our competition team will be suiting up for Jiu Jitsu By The Bay-10 that will be held in Alameda on March 2nd. If you have any aspirations of competing, come join us as we push each other to get better and better.

After two plus years of dedication and hard work, Mike Garza was bestowed upon him the rank of Blue Belt. At our most recent seminar, Crosley and Jeff promoted Mike in front of many of his training partners and friends. Mike has stayed the course despite a few injuries that kept him off the mat for a few weeks here and there. Congratulations Mike! All of us at Synergy are very proud of your accomplishment. We all wish you continued good health and success on your journey.

“Teaching the United States Army Jiu-Jitsu techniques was amazing!” -Jeff Correia

This past weekend, Jeff Correia, our owner and head instructor was invited to teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at our local BT Collins Army Reserve Center. There were over thirty participants, most of them being drill sergeants. Jeff was charged with sharpening their ground skills. These men and women were serious about getting better because they kept Jeff there for nearly 4 hours! I don’t think he had a choice. Way to go Jeff!

5th Annual Crosley Gracie Internal Tournament

Posted on October 22, 2012 ·

CGTCollageThis past Saturday eleven of our kids made the two plus hour drive to Crosley’s academy to show their skills. And it was a sight to see! Each of our kids had at least one victory and got to experience what it’s like to get their arm raised. We were very proud of their courage, skill, and determination. It’s not easy to compete and we certainly don’t push competing, but to test yourself in unfamiliar surroundings is a way to forge confidence. There is never any losing at these tournaments; you either win or you learn. Our kids won and they learned!
