Pablo Silva BJJ led the way at Waco Kids 2025 with 9 gold medals, narrowly ahead of Twin Wolves MMA (8) and Rodrigo Pinheiro (7) in a 68-gold Texas event. BJJ Revolution Team added 6 golds while Caique Jiu-Jitsu and Soul Fighters Texas each collected 4 to round out a competitive top tier.
The Waco stop rewards Texas-based programs that build deep youth rosters, and Pablo Silva BJJ continued their dominance of the Central Texas IBJJF circuit. LEAD BJJ produced just 3 golds but stacked an impressive 13 silvers and 4 bronzes — the most total medals of any team despite finishing sixth in gold count.
The 68-gold event reflected the growth of competitive youth jiu-jitsu in smaller Texas markets, with strong academy representation from the Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio corridors.
