Full Prime Herndon Shines at Copa Virginia: A Milestone for Jiu-Jitsu in Herndon

This past weekend, our team competed at the Copa Virginia in Annandale—our very first official tournament as a team. It was an incredible experience. Full Prime Herndon performed beyond our expectations, securing fourth place overall as a school, competing against larger teams with multiple affiliates (we are an independent academy, it is just us).


We started our journey offering the best Jiu-Jitsu in Herndon less than two months ago. Some of our students in the Kids Jiu-Jitsu program had already been training under Professor Fabiano Papel’s guidance, but previously, it was adapted to the methodology of the school where he was an athlete.


Now, operating with a 100% exclusive methodology created and developed by Full Prime Jiu-Jitsu School, seeing how much our students have evolved in such a short time—both in our kids' program and our adult BJJ classes in Herndon—fills us with pride. Ranking in the top 4 of one of the region's main championships is a huge milestone.


We are confident that we will become the ultimate reference for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Herndon, VA in less than a year, and we will certainly be aiming for the top spots in upcoming championships.
