Student Highlight - Elijah Arroyo

This past weekend was a busy one for Elijah Arroyo. He competed at the Dallas Jiu-Jitsu World League on Saturday and at the American Grappling Federation in Dallas on Sunday. Out of both tournaments, he had 12 matches total for the weekend. He won 10 of those matches and brought home 3 gold and 2 bronze medals. Elijah has been doing great at the youth blue belt competitions and plans to compete at the Waco IBJJF tournament in December as well as IBJJF Pans (one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world) in March of 2026. Is there a purple belt coming in the next year for this young man who's only been a blue belt for 1 year...? Probably!
