Pablo Silva BJJ Medals 87% of Its Roster at Dallas XIV Gi
Dallas XIV Gi draws 862 competitors and 1,039 matches with a 46% submission rate. Pablo Silva BJJ, CJJF Prosper, and Northern Tribe battle for academy supremacy in Frisco.
JJWL Dallas XIV Gi packed 862 competitors into the Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas on March 1. Across 1,039 matches, three academies separated themselves from the rest — and one of them put up a medal rate that demands attention.
Pablo Silva BJJ sent 45 fighters. 39 of them came home with hardware. That is an 87% medal rate, the kind of number that stops being about individual talent and starts being about program depth. Every division, every age group, every bracket — Pablo Silva had someone who medaled.
But this was not a one-team event. CJJF Prosper matched them in total medals with 38 from a larger 66-fighter roster. Northern Tribe put up 30 medals from 39 fighters. Dallas XIV Gi was an academy war, and the standings tell a story about which programs are building the deepest rosters in Texas youth jiu-jitsu.
Top Performers
The gold medalists who brought the highest Jits ratings into their brackets — fighters who were expected to win and did.
Micah Alexander Craioveanu (9,497 Jits, Pablo Silva BJJ) took gold in Jr Teen. At nearly 9,500 Jits, he entered as the highest-rated competitor at the event and backed it up. Joaquin Bustamante (8,930 Jits, Pablo Silva BJJ) added another gold in Teen, giving Pablo Silva two of the top three rated champions.
Kari Taylor (8,012 Jits, All American MMA) won Pre Teen gold. Avery Madison Kent (7,982 Jits, Flow Grappling Academy) took Youth gold. Luke Sias (7,908 Jits, SIA Plano) won Pre Teen gold through a 3-win bracket — one of five competitors who needed three or more wins to take the top step.
The deepest brackets belonged to Luke Sias, Ian Wolverton, Lana Perez, Adison Faith Kim, and Nathan Ong — each navigating at least three rounds to earn their gold.
The most notable result on the loss column: Layla Nour Eljazouli (8,183 Jits, Northern Tribe) came in at 55-3 career and lost to Malia Hong Robinson (6,073 Jits, Rockstar South Frisco). A 2,110 Jits gap and a reminder that the bracket does not care about records.

Pablo Silva BJJ's 87% medal rate leads by a wide margin. But the real number is 29 golds from 45 fighters — a 64% gold rate. That means nearly two out of every three Pablo Silva competitors won their bracket outright. CJJF Prosper brought the largest roster at 66 fighters, opting for volume over concentration. Their 9 golds to 18 silvers suggest deep participation across divisions, with many of their fighters reaching finals.
Northern Tribe's 17 golds from 39 fighters (44% gold rate) puts them in a strong second position for gold efficiency. GRIT Factory is the sleeper — 12 golds from just 22 fighters, zero bronzes. Their roster either wins or misses the podium entirely.
