Sacramento based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Marcos “Yemaso” Torregrosa traveled to Brazil in order to face the formidable challenge of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation’s tournament dubbed “Brazilian Nationals.” This tournament, considered by martial art authorities, is arguable the most difficult tournament to win; Brazilian Nationals hosts many top athletes who never have the support to make it over to compete in other major tournaments which have moved to the United States such as the World Championships and Pan American championships.

This past Saturday, May 2nd, Marcos become the black belt lightweight champion after defeating five opponents on his way to the gold medal. This is a huge feat as Marcos is the only black belt in Sacramento who was able to complete this task. Marcos submitted two of his five opponents, congratulations Marcos!
