I am so proud of the entire Gracie Barra Evolution competition team for their incredible performances at NAGA Tampa this weekend. In particular, my daughter, Savannah Cook, did a fantastic job winning first place in Gi and No Gi. My concern wasn’t whether or not she would win first, but that she had fun to set the stage for the future. She had fun, gave her second sword to her competitor and is ready to take on the Beginner Division next time. I couldn’t ask for any more!………Professor Ryan
Congratulations to Gracie Barra Evolution January 2012 Student’s of the Month, Ryan Kline and Joshua Leeds.

Professor Ryan is home from knee surgery. Only 55% of his miniscus was removed with everything else looking good. “I’m going to rest up today and tomorrow, but will be at GB Evolution on Wednesday to train the team. Thanks for everyone’s help!”

Congratulations to Mike Mosgaard for achieving his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt Wednesday night at Gracie Barra Evolution. Mike has been training with Professor Ryan for well over a decade.
