Mad Tiger Team at Pan Ams!

Posted by admin on April 6, 2012 in News | 0 comments

This past weekend, head instructor Eric “Mad Tiger” Goo, Rafie Gonzalez and Jeremy Nitta made the trip to the Pan American Games in LA. With over 3200 competitors it was the biggest jiu jitsu event ever held!! All three had very tough draws and fought down to the wire. Their hard work, dedication, and sacrifice really showed and they looked phenomenal on the mat. Congrats to all three, we are proud of every one who competed and like to thank all those who help them along the way…

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
