My guy @liamkearns_g13 always and forever proud of you. Singed up for Charlotte Fall Open, left solo dolo in his division. Traveled down not expecting to roll at all, hasn’t been able to train prior to, woke up Sunday morning and I asked him “if they can find you a match do you want to compete?” He said “bet, of course I do” Liam literally rolled out of bed more or less went up in age and weight for a match with none of his typical pre comp training, warm up, nothing and still performed great. That’s a Fighter. That’s the sport of Brazilian jiu jitsu. @tbrito13 always told the kids “we don’t get ready, we stay ready” that’s what this kid and his teammates embody. Shout out to our gym @tristatekickboxing our family who is always there in our corners and our texts @rachael_lynn11 @jones7photography @ktramel_mma @alldayjonray @liamkaras_bjj @jordyn_bjj_27 @lilliana23377 @madrid_family_bjj_g13 @bella_bjj_.g13 @alex_bjj_g13 @tristan_bjj_g13

And to Liam’s opponent for accepting a match as well for exhibition, whenever you’re shout out to you & yours 🥋

And of course Dad @profit0409 “coach” for going all in with all of our kids. A1 day1
And our headquarters @g13bjjusa & @rgodoi13 Master Godoi for welcoming us alongside the rest of the gang down in NC. Weekends like this your kids remember forever. Rolls that can’t be taken away with or without a medal.

🏆 JIU-JITSU CON 2026 CHAMPION! 🏆

HUGE congratulations to Liam Karas for taking GOLD 🥇 in the Teen 3 Yellow Belt Heavyweight Division!

Months of work. Countless rounds. One goal.

And when his hand was raised, Liam made sure someone very important was right there with him in that moment. ❤️

He held up the “T” for Professor Thiago. 🫶

Different country. Same team. Same family.
Everything you taught these kids is still showing every time they step on those mats.

This one was for T. @tbrito13 🇧🇷❤️

Congratulations, @liamkaras_mma — JIU-JITSU CON CHAMPION! 🥇🔥
