The 2009 Pan American championships of Brazilian jiujitsu rocked the grounds of Cal State at Dominguez Hills in Los Angeles over the weekend. Once again the Alliance Jiujitsu competitors that participated showed their immense quality at all levels of the competition.

Professor Babs Olusanmokun was the blackbelt masters lightweight Pan Am champion. He defeated 3 opponents to take the title, choking his first opponent from the Machado team from the back and beating Marcos Barros of Gracie Barra by takedowns in the finals.

Brownbelt Willie Rodrigues won the Senior 3 division with his own brand of invisible jiujitsu. He completely overwhelmed his only opponent to take the gold!

Chris Vinsentin came back home with the bronze medal in a stacked lightweight bluebelt division. Chris won 5 straight matches, with at least 2 by chokes from the back, before losing to the eventual champ in a tight and heated semifinal match by a sweep. Chris was a real warrior!!

Honorable mentions to John "Showman" Cho, Jake Pinson, and Adonis Vasquez for coming out to battle.

Once again Alliance NY has produced 3 — yes 3 — Pan American Champions in 2009!!!

Adonis Vasquez, a 16-year old Alliance white belt, took first place in four divisions at this year's Grappler's Quest! Not only did he win the teen BJJ and No-Gi events at his own weight, but he won the Adult Novice and Adult White Belt divisions at five pounds over his own weight! Keep a look out for this kid: he's training hard, and this is just the beginning of a long career as a top Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor.
