AOJ claimed 12 gold medals to lead the no-gi divisions at the Kids International Las Vegas, ahead of Atos Jiu-Jitsu (8) and CheckMat (6) in the December event. Gracie Barra added 5 golds while Carlson Gracie Las Vegas and Carlson Gracie Team split 4 each, giving the Carlson Gracie network a combined 8 golds on their home turf.
The 89-gold event drew the expected Las Vegas powerhouses, with Paragon BJJ Academy, TAC Team BJJ, Baza, Zenith BJJ, Alliance, and Marcio Andre Jiu-Jitsu all contributing 3 golds apiece. The no-gi format tightened the gap between the top programs compared to the gi event, with more academies cracking the medal table.
Las Vegas's year-end IBJJF kids event continues to attract the West Coast elite, with AOJ and Atos using it as a capstone to the competition calendar before the holiday break.
