Arentz Awarded Purple Belt
Impact Jiu Jitsu Coach Joshua Arentz was awarded his purple belt on February 3, 2010. Josh is a man who trains very hard and constantly works toward his goals. He has an open minded approach to training, which seems to be one of the keys to his fast take on Jiu Jitsu.  Josh recently graduated from Impact Jiu Jitsu's Coaching University and has taken on revitalizing and revamping Impact's Youth Program. Beaverton's kids classes have already seen substantial growth in numbers and attendance - with more than 50 Cubs in all. We'd like to thank Josh, as well as youth coaches Eric Loar and Jeremy Carver, for all they do for Impact's kids.

Our friend George Sotiropoulos defeated Joe Stevenson in UFC 110 in Australia on February 20, 2010. It was a great fight with George winning by unanimous decision.

We were proud to see the Impact Jiu Jitsu logo on George's fight banner, and during the post-fight interview, he thanked the guys at Impact Jiu Jitsu. George has been training Jiu Jitsu with coaches Michael Chapman, Armand Debruge, Keisuke Andrew, and Eric Jetton.

Tran Brings Home NAGA Medal
Anthony Tran traveled to Texas for the NAGA Dollamur Grappling Championships on February 20. He placed 2nd in his no-gi division, losing in the finals to a black belt. Anthony won the first match of his  gi division with a kneebar. Anthony battled out of multiple foot lock attempts in his second match, but ran out of gas. He got caught in an Ezekiel choke in the very end of the match. That opponent would go on to place first in the division. Congratulations, Anthony. Awesome job. |
