Kozma BJJ dominated the New Breed Philadelphia Spring Championship on March 14, capturing 27 golds across 60 total medals to finish 25 points ahead of second-place Renzo Gracie PA Academy's 22-medal haul. Cole DeMarco (grey belt, 3747 rating) led individual performers from Endgame BJJ, which finished third with 11 medals despite fielding fewer competitors than the top two programs. Alidzhan Mursalov earned Tournament MVP honors in a 57-division event that drew 16 academies across 170 matches.
The submission rate fell to 44% of decided matches—4 points below New Breed's 48% seasonal average—indicating a shift toward points-based victories at this regional event. The youth white FEATHERWEIGHT (46-55 LBS.) gi division drew 6 placements, marking the deepest bracket of the competition. Of 63 gold medals awarded, submissions accounted for 74 of 170 total match outcomes, showing decisive technical dominance in roughly 44% of contests.
Kozma BJJ's 27-gold performance more than tripled second-place Renzo Gracie PA Academy's output, establishing clear regional superiority in the Philadelphia market. Endgame BJJ's three grey belts in the top-10 individual ratings—Cole DeMarco (3747), Jase Przybyszewski (3364), and Nash DeMarco (3066)—demonstrated concentrated strength despite the academy's third-place team finish with 11 medals. Lions Heart MMA and RNACF BJJ combined for 22 medals outside the top two, indicating competitive depth below the championship tier.
