This past weekend the CTA team headed to Santa Cruz for the first ever IBJJF Santa Cruz Pro! Unlike open events, pro events offer cash prizes for the top adult, masters and absolute winners so the best in the world typically come to compete.
After a long day competing and a complete team effort by athletes from Roots Kickboxing, Milton Bastos BJJ, and CTA headquarters,the team took home first place. Notable performances include Paulo Martins closing out with Max Ruderman in weight and taking home gold in the absolute, and Kaniela Kahuanui taking home double gold in weight and absolute.
