Science of Jiu Jitsu Academy dominated the 2025 US National No Gi Championships, capturing 10 golds, 12 silvers, and 7 bronzes across 29 total medals at the American Grappling Federation event in Westwego, LA on April 18. Hunter MMA finished second with 25 medals (10G, 8S, 7B), while JM Modern Jiu Jitsu 1776 took third with 16 medals. Jackson Parker Desalvo (green belt, rating 10052) from JM Modern Jiu Jitsu 1776 led individual performers, with Andrew Pechacek (blue belt, rating 6392) earning three gold medals across his divisions.
The tournament's 64% submission rate exceeded the American Grappling Federation season average of 55% by 9 percentage points, with 168 of 261 decided matches ending by submission. The youth white male FEATHER I (UP TO 65 LBS) nogi division emerged as the deepest bracket with 11 placements across 65 total divisions. Forty-eight academies competed across 265 matches, with 89 golds awarded and Wyatt Williams earning Tournament MVP honors.
Science of Jiu Jitsu Academy's 29-medal haul more than doubled third-place JM Modern Jiu Jitsu 1776's 16 medals, establishing clear separation at the top. Triton Fight Center (9 medals) and the two Team Jucao squads under Gracie United (4 medals each) represented the next tier of competitive depth. Slow Roll BJJ punched above their weight class with 3 golds from minimal entries, demonstrating efficient medal conversion in a 48-academy field.
