Next Move Jiu Jitsu dominated the 2025 AGF Albuquerque Open, capturing 18 golds across 33 total medals to lead all 44 academies. Grey belt Connor Soucy (rating: 4980) earned four gold medals and anchored Next Move's performance. Santiago Villalobos of Misfit Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy claimed tournament MVP honors while adding two golds to his academy's 12-medal haul, placing them second overall.
The event produced a 56% submission rate across 254 decided matches, exceeding the American Grappling Federation's 55% season average by one percentage point. The youth grey male FEATHER I (UP TO 65 LBS) nogi division served as the deepest bracket with 8 placements. Submissions accounted for 141 finishes compared to 112 point-based decisions, indicating a technical submission-heavy competition.
Next Move's 33-medal margin over second-place Misfit (19 medals) underscores a significant performance gap at the top. Silverback BJJ / Ares BJJ finished third with 16 medals but distributed their success across 5 golds, 9 silvers, and 2 bronzes—a medal composition reflecting deeper bracket placements than Next Move's gold-heavy distribution. Flow State Jiu-Jitsu (Falcon) and Elevated Martial Arts each posted 6 total medals from 4 and 3 golds respectively, demonstrating efficiency in smaller team sizes across the 84 total divisions.
