Houzn Jiu Jitsu dominated the 2025 AGF South Carolina Championships, capturing 11 golds, 2 silvers, and 1 bronze across 40 divisions on May 23 in Columbia. Jitsu Academy SC finished second with 8 total medals (4G-2S-2B), while Wander Braga BJJ took third with 10 medals despite claiming only 3 golds. Yellow belt Rosie Carrillo of American Jiu Jitsu and grey belt Sophia Rose Clossey of Greubels MMA led individual performers by rating, each earning multiple gold placements. William Gabriel Del R. Santiago earned Tournament MVP honors in competition that drew 23 academies across 115 total matches.
The event's 46% submission rate fell 10 points below the AGF organizational average of 56%, indicating a points-heavy tournament where 60 of 114 decided matches went to decision. The youth grey male FEATHER I (UP TO 65 LBS) gi division proved the deepest bracket with 6 competitors, reflecting strong youth participation in the lightest weight class. Submissions still accounted for just over half the finishes, with 52 matches ending on the mat versus the scoreboard.
Wander Braga BJJ's efficiency stood out: the academy earned 10 total medals from 3 golds, suggesting deep placements across multiple divisions. Outsiders Combat Club and Combat Base combined for 2 golds with Millie Garcia and Nixie Garcia both earning gold medals at grey belt. Houzn Jiu Jitsu's 14-medal haul—more than double the second-place finisher—cemented the academy's regional dominance across the 40-division format.
