Black Tie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu dominated the NEWBREED LANSING SPRING CHAMPIONSHIP on May 2, 2025, claiming 13 gold medals across 37 divisions. The Lansing-based academy finished with 27 total medals (13G-10S-4B), nearly 60% more than second-place Black Lion Jiu Jitsu's 17 medals. Grey belt Olivia Liskovec earned Tournament MVP honors while competing for Black Tie, joining fellow top performers Jaxin Dyer (Good Vibez/TRUJITSU UNIFIED, rating 3690) and Julian Morales (Metro Jiu-Jitsu/LEAD BJJ, rating 3400) among the highest-rated gold medalists.
The 55% submission rate exceeded the New Breed organizational average by 7 points, with 66 of 119 decided matches ending by submission versus 41 by decision. The youth female MIDDLEWEIGHT (106-116 LBS.) gi division emerged as the deepest bracket with 3 placements across the 37 total divisions contested. This elevated finish rate suggests competitors at Lansing brought aggressive, technical approaches aligned with submission-heavy competition norms.
Black Tie's 27-medal haul dwarfed third-place Good Vibez/TRUJITSU UNIFIED's 10 medals, establishing clear regional dominance in the Lansing market. Black Lion Jiu Jitsu's 17 medals (4G-7S-6B) positioned them as the closest challenger, though their medal distribution skewed toward silver and bronze finishes. Lyons BJJ (4 golds) and Metro Jiu-Jitsu/LEAD BJJ (2 golds) rounded out the top five, with 14 academies total competing across the 119 matches.
