When I and Prof.Carlos Lemos Jr started the first Gracie Barra school over here couple of years ago,it was all a distant dream,right now seeing these kids becaming the best in the country is a dream becoming true.concluded Prof.Lemola.

Severi Nenonen won the gold medal in blue belts division, under 64 kg’s, and
Teemu Eloranta won the white belt division, under 82,3 kg’s.

Because of his success in the Nationals, Severi Nenonen will be representing Gracie Barra and Finland in the next European championships.

Both of the fighters showed great attitude and technical excellence in
their fights. The whole Gracie Barra family congaratulates both of the
