White Belts need love, too! The Grind Classic is hosting a White Belt NoGi Quintet-styled tournament for a cash prize!

Early Bird Jiu-Jitsu currently has 3 Team Members Registered & we are looking for the TOP White Belts in THE VALLEY! DM Mariano Aldama (@yanothebeast) on Instagram if you believe you have what it takes to be on the team! Early Bird Jiu-Jitsu is perfect for this tournament given we have no affiliation with any gym but instead are a club of The Best Grapplers in the Central Valley who have a hunger for knowledge & an undeniable spirit! We are each uniquely talented & have become a vital role to each others success!
