Pablo Pantaleon and Jiu Jitsu coach Michio Grubbs

He had one match, score was 2-2 with 2-2 advantage = tie.  The loss came from referees decision that could have gone either way because both fighters were super aggressive, back and forth the whole match.

Single elimination but Pablo will be back, stronger than ever!

Why I train at Excel Jiu Jitsu -Joe Pugh

Joe has been with the team for a long time and represents the nice guys that like to get in and mix it up and get that combat athletics  training.  Joe is 50 years young and continues to train hard every week.  Here is a short article by him...

Joe Pugh, EXCEL Jiu Jitsu Oceanside

 I was first introduced to Jiu Jitsu by my son, he would set up mats in the garage and have some friends over. I couldn't resist the urge to roll with them, I am heavier than my son so how bad could this go? His Jiu Jitsu was so effective and efficient that I was saying hey that hurts within the first couple minutes! He laughed and said "I know". I joined a gym that offered Jiu Jitsu the next day. My intent was to get better, build cardio, strength and be able to roll with both my son's. So off I went training at a different gym than where my son trained. I did that for awhile but I couldn't get to the level of training that I was happy with. I wanted to be as good as my son. So I talked to him about his gym and joining him with his training. His response was "I dunno it's kinda rough there" he was right. I was pushed further than I thought I could go. I would go into training thinking, ok don't embarrass your son today, try to survive. Every session was exhausting, exciting, extremely educational. Every person I've met has been extremely polite, humble and caring. I am older than most of the guys I train with, actually I may be the oldest guy at the gym right now. I have these young guys and girls training me, coaching me and pushing me to be better. It's actually fun to see a group of young men and women setting and exceeding their goals.

Joe training hard, at EXCEL Jiu Jitsu Oceanside

So my first reason to train Jiu Jitsu was so I wouldn't get beat by my son. I still get beat.... I didn't factor into the equation he was going to get better too, now both my sons train... Yea that's not any better for me either but I'm lasting longer during our rolling sessions now at least Along they way Jiu Jitsu has introduced me to some of the best people I've met

Joe Pugh, gets the win, EXCEL Jiu Jitsu

Now I train at Excel Jiu Jitsu for many reasons, I love watching both my boys be amazing men even though I will pay for their progress it's what I love to do most, I enjoy Jiu Jitsu, it's a great workout, its healthy, it's a it's a workout for your mind, body and soul, my best friends and family train at Excel. Training at Excel under these coaches is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
