Dominion Mixed Martial Arts Academy had several students attend the tournament and the results were impressive.

Dominion Mixed Martial Arts Academy also had its first special needs student compete at the Jiboia Open. Yellow belt, David Berube, fought in both gi and no gi divisions and impressed all the attendees since this was the 1st time that a special needs student had actually competed in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament.  According to Mr. Rodriguez, “David is an example of the perfect student. He never misses class and when the opportunity presented itself, David asked if he could compete and he did extremely well. He submitted his first opponent with a cross collar choke and although he lost the next two matches he never stopped fighting. When he eventually transitioned to No Gi he was extremely tired but still gave it 100%. We are honored to have David train at our academy.”
