Good luck to all of our Gracie Barra competitors!

The IBJJF Dallas Open was held last weekend, and with only one academy in Dallas, and the majority of its competitors coming from Houston and Austin, Gracie Barra was able to take 2nd in a heavily populated Nova Uniao region, proving once again that the legacy is alive and well in Texas. Competitors from GB Westchase performed well, bringing home 9 medals. Congratulations to everyone who competed, and to all the professors for their hard work in getting the team ready!
