The Kids Pan American Competition!
8 of February was the kick off date for the Kids Pan American competition. Our youngest and brightest set out on a journey to California to test their mettle and see what would the fruits of their training would bear. After a grueling weekend, fighting series after series, they would come home with a whopping 1 silver medal and 3 gold medals! Karima Hanafi (St. Cloud) would bring home the silver. Manu Santos (St. Cloud/ Lake Nona), Emari Brown (St. Cloud) and Anna Palma (Orlando HQ) would rake in the gold. By pushing themselves and each other, they’ve managed to prove that they are contenders in the world of BJJ while bringing prestige and honor to White House MMA’s FRBJJ family.
“The most frustrating thing about this sport [BJJ] is, the better you get, so do your opponents. Keep up, and you prove you deserve to be there.”

Ladies and gentlemen introducing your new champ!
Guts, grit and capability, three components that will make a champion. And in order to find out if one is worthy to be a champion, then they must be tested. This would be the case for Aramiah Jarquin in his first amateur bout in Brooksville, Fl on the weekend of Feb 8th. Winning by unanimous decision he brings home a championship belt showing why White House MMA’s Orlando Boxing Academy is the place to be when it comes to practicing boxing. Congratulations Aramiah!
We have a new Fundamentals course for adults; Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6PM!
