Jits.gg Review
Elite Team International ranks #4 nationally with 175 fighters and a 58.8% submission rate — placing them in the 70th percentile for finishing ability. Their 8,127.9 power score reflects consistent performance across multiple belt levels, with grey belts driving their elite status through a 64.1% gold rate and 67.9% submission rate. The combination of scale and technical finishing separates them from programs that rely on either volume or efficiency alone.
The data reveals a development pipeline that peaks at grey belt. While white belts perform at expected beginner levels (49.5% gold rate), grey belts dominate with 277 total wins and 188 by submission — demonstrating systematic technical progression. Five fighters compete at elite or prodigy tier, including Tyden Loveren Xiong (99th percentile) and Ezekiel M Rico with an 86.4% finishing rate. This belt-to-belt improvement pattern indicates coaching that transforms beginners into elite competitors.
California families seeking proven competition results should consider Elite Team International over smaller boutique programs. Their 1.17 golds per fighter may seem modest, but supporting 175 active competitors while maintaining nearly 60% submission rates requires exceptional coaching depth. If your child shows promise at white or grey belt, this program has the infrastructure and track record to develop them into podium finishers at higher levels.
