Gracie Barra O'Fallon dominated the 2025 AGF Missouri State Championships, capturing 28 gold medals across 72 total podium finishes to claim the team title by a decisive margin over second-place Gracie Barra Washington (33 medals). Jacob K Slate (yellow belt, rating 8190) from Alive Jiu Jitsu earned multiple gold medals as a top individual performer, alongside Kaci Elizabeth Yearwood (yellow belt, rating 5873) from Cobra BJJ Chelsea, who also secured three golds. Angelina Torres took home the MVP award at the 117-division event held May 16 in Saint Louis.
The tournament's submission rate of 48% fell 8 points below the American Grappling Federation's 56% season average, with 220 of 460 matches ending by submission versus 234 by decision or points. The youth white male FEATHER I (UP TO 65 LBS) gi division emerged as the deepest bracket with 9 placements, indicating strong youth participation in Missouri's smallest weight class. This submission deficit suggests Missouri competitors favored point-based strategies or faced stronger defensive wrestling than the national average.
Gracie Barra programs won decisively, with O'Fallon and Washington combining for 105 medals across the top two spots. Illinois BJJ Academy (27 medals) and Gracie Barra St Peters Missouri (23 medals) rounded out the top four, demonstrating heavy Gracie Barra concentration in Missouri's elite tier. Rodrigo Vaghi Headquarters (Team Vaghi) placed 6th with 14 medals, establishing itself as the strongest non-Gracie Barra academy while Leslie Itzayana Fraire (orange belt, rating 4581) from P3 Martial Arts/Lovato Jiu Jitsu secured multiple golds as an undercard standout.
