The Southaven event drew 23 academies competing in 192 matches on June 13, 2025. Grey belt Azaliya Grace Jones and yellow belt Caden Bradley Gibbs led individual medal counts for the champion academy, while Jacob Whitaker earned Tournament MVP honors.
The 54% submission rate exceeded New Breed's 48% season average by 6 percentage points, with 103 of 192 matches ending by submission. The youth white FEATHERWEIGHT (46-55 LBS.) gi division served as the deepest bracket with 6 placements. Submissions accounted for the decisive majority of finishes, indicating aggressive grappling across all age and skill levels.
Border Martial Arts Academy NOVA UNIÃO matched Memphis's 30-medal haul but distributed medals more evenly: 12 golds, 12 silvers, and 6 bronzes. Midtown Krav Maga placed third with 12 total medals (3G-6S-3B), while Jackson Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy LUIZ PALHARES converted its limited entries into a perfect 3-0 gold record. Memphis's medal advantage came from greater division entries and higher gold conversion, securing the team title despite NOVA UNIÃO's balanced medal distribution.
