AOJ collected 36 gold medals to dominate Los Angeles Winter Kids 2025, doubling second-place Alliance (18) on one of the largest IBJJF youth stages in Southern California. Gracie Barra (12), Carlson Gracie Team (11), and Atos Jiu-Jitsu (9) rounded out the top five, while Gracie Humaita (7) and TRUJITSU/Bakersfield (5) led the second tier.
The 153-gold event drew from across the entire SoCal corridor, with CheckMat (4), Lansang Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (4), One Jiu-Jitsu USA (4), Zenith BJJ (3), BVJJ (3), Honor Roll BJJ (3), and Unique Logic Jiu-Jitsu HQ (3) all contributing multiple champions. AOJ's 36-gold dominance was thorough — they added 15 silvers and 10 bronzes for 61 total podium finishes.
Los Angeles in March is prime jiu-jitsu season, and the Winter Kids event serves as the first major competitive checkpoint of the IBJJF California calendar year.
