ANOTHER BIG WEEKEND

This was yet another big weekend for the Vicente Junior De la Riva Team. This weekend VJ along with several other blackbelts from the 3G family had a Seminar with over 80 people in attendance. This was followed up the next day with De la Riva Team promotions of the following:

Sean McEntee, Mindy, Jake Goff, Adam Ziemnicki, Adam McClure, Brian Clouser, Mike Maker, Jay all got blue belts and Instructors Lance and Kail were promoted to brown. 

Congrats and Thanks to all who came to help and show their support! 

VJ BJJ Belt Promotions!

Last night was a very special night for a lot of people in the De la Riva Family. Promotions were held at the De la Riva Maryland Academy / BJJ Conquest and the academy was not only full of students, but friends and family as well. After warmups and a detailed technique on passing guard and countering, it was time for promotions. The challenge was for the entire academy to spar with all four promotion candidates for two minutes each, non-stop until the end, but the pain and exhaustion was well worth it for all four students: Allen and Toby to Purple belt and Ed and Paul to blue belt. And to go along with that, Vicente added several well deserved stripes to the students and added stripes to both owners of the Maryland Academy / BJJ Conquest Lance and Kail. A special thanks goes out to everyone who was able to participate and show support including friends, family, and other students from  Vicente Junior Academies. Also congrats to everyone who received stripes and belts. More pictures will be up later today!

Vicente Junior opens new Dover Delaware Academy

 We would not only like to welcome Team Viper of Dover Delaware to the Vicente Junior De la Riva family, but we would also like to congratulate them for their hard work and many belt promotions yesterday. After a hard two hours of cardio and technique VJ handed out stripes and welcomed a brand new orange belt, Jordan Tribbett. Check out the album!
