AOJ dominated the Los Angeles Summer Kids 2025 with 22 gold medals across 40 total placements, more than doubling the second-place finisher Alliance's 12 golds. The academy's top individual performers included Ace Mendes (grey belt, rating 8224) and Penelope Victoria Rothermel (yellow belt, rating 6064), both earning gold. Charlotte "tank" Kleintank of Atos Jiu-Jitsu posted the highest individual rating at 8372 to claim her gold medal, while CheckMat's Elijah Ryder Gutierrez (yellow belt, rating 6633) rounded out the top performers.
The tournament operated across 108 divisions with 49 academies represented, though the dataset reveals zero decided matches recorded—a data anomaly that prevents submission rate analysis against the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation's 0% season average. The JUNIOR 2 GREY male LIGHT-FEATHER (73.60LB) gi division emerged as the deepest bracket with 4 placements, indicating competitive depth in the youth grey belt lightweight category.
CheckMat finished third in medals with 9 golds but accumulated 25 total placements, outpacing fourth-place Atos Jiu-Jitsu's 15 total medals. Gracie Barra placed fifth with 8 golds and 25 total placements, matching CheckMat's depth despite fewer gold finishes. Gracie Humaita's 6 golds from limited medal placements (8 total) suggests a smaller but focused team presence, while Lansang Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu produced two top-10 rated gold medalists—Jacob Mhar Bagaygay (rating 6194) and Alexander Tjen (rating 5912)—despite not cracking the top-10 team standings.
