Beleza scores third at the Worlds

I received an email from Joe Duffey, who, along with Frank Nguyen, run the Academy of Combative Arts in York City. Joe told me that ACA's resident black belt (2nd degree in BJJ) Daniel Beleza, got third in the recent International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation's World Championships, held June 4-7 at California State University in Long Beach.

Here are the results from the IBJJF Web site:
weight class: LIGHT FEATHER

FIRST guilherme mendes Atos

THIRD carlos vieira Check Mat Bjj

THIRD Daniel Beleza Academy of Combative Arts.

Earlier this year, Daniel scored back-to-back first place victories at the Pan-Ams and the New York International Open.

Congratulations, Daniel, from all of us here at MMA Explosion!
