All Army Combatives Tournament Champion MACP

In 2005, the United States Army would host its first ever Combatives tournament. This Army wide MACP event would draw in competitors from all installations and units (including Reserves and National Guard) to determine who the best fighters were in seven different weight classes.

This two day tournament, at Ft. Benning Georgia, would feature preliminary rounds that utilized Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition rules. As soldiers advanced into the Semi-Finals they would fight using Pancrase or Japanese Shooto rules, all while in combat uniform. The finals matches would determine a champion via Pro MMA rules.

Our head instructor here at Pennsylvania Combat Sports, BJJ Black Belt Casey Leonard, was serving with the West Virginia National Guard as a member of 19th SFG in 2005.

The opportunity to compete in this inaugural event was something he couldn't pass up.

To sum up the event, Professor Casey commented

"I can easily say that winning the 155lb division, of the first ever All Army Combatives Tournament, was my proudest achievement in martial arts competition and one of the Top 3 in my military career.
In 2005, my 16 man bracket had what the Army determined as their best, most capable fighters, all representing units and installations from around the world.
The competition would take 2 days to complete, with the MMA finals being on Sunday at the gymnasium right beside Airborne school.
Nothing like this had ever taken place in the history of the world's most powerful Army, so the motivation and desire to win was exceptionally high.
In my MMA match I was able to secure the armlock after being taken down by an experienced former Iowa wrestler with a few MMA fights to his credit. The entire fight lasted :90 seconds.

To go into all the details of what it took to win that Gold medal, is something I'll save for another time...but it was truly a struggle.
To this day I thank God for the opportunity provided and for the favor He granted me in victory!"

Casey Leonard Is The US Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation National Champion

September 10^th, 2013

Los Angeles, California

 Recently the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation hosted its annual American Nationals at California State University. This two day martial arts tournament is the IBJJF’s only US based National event, which is also run under the banner of the United States Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.

Casey Leonard, the resident Brown Belt BJJ instructor at Pennsylvania Combat Sports, made the trip for this years American Nationals. Competing as a Brown Belt in the IBJJF's middleweight division, he would be facing some very seasoned competitors in his bracket.

When the dust cleared at the end of the day, it would be Coach Casey winning the Gold in his weight division and the Bronze for his Absolute (open weight class) division. Westmoreland County would have its first IBJJF National Champion!

 

Casey Leonard Wins IBJJF American Nationals

"It feels awesome bringing a National Title back to Greensburg...as a team we've all worked hard towards getting on the podium in IBJJF tournaments this year. The win was just as important to our students and competitors, as it was to me. Its really a shared success given the nature of our school (PACS) and our mentality towards goal setting as a team."

 

With only a few months left in 2013, Casey is gearing up for a few more highlight events on the IBJJF calendar. To get on the podium for those will require more dedicated BJJ training here at Greensburg based Pa Combat Sports along with the expert guidance of Professor Vicente Junior.

There would be no time to sit and enjoy the American Nationals win from Los Angeles this past Saturday, as BJJ training commenced once again on Monday back in Greensburg...it was business as usual with little fan fare.

"We can celebrate at our end of the year awards banquet I suppose...there's still work to be done in the meantime."

Vicente Junior adds 2012 No-Gi Pan Am Champion to his accomplishments

This past Saturday, New York City once again played host to the prestigious IBJJF No-Gi Pan Ams. Some of the highest level competitors in the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu all converge in Upper Manhattan, each year, for the opportunity to earn Gold in what has become one of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federations most anticipated events. 

Professor Vicente Junior is no stranger to top level, world class competition. This event would be slightly different though. Battling through some injuries while undertaking a 20+ pound weight cut, he wasn't about to let these "little speed bumps" get in the way of earning his place at the top of the Pan Am winners podium.

Talking with Vicente today, he had these words to say, "i just wanted to thank all of my team for pushing me hard and giving me such hard times (on the mat) at the academy, you guys are always keeping me ready for battle."

As PACS Program Director, and resident Brown Belt Instructor, Casey Leonard made it clear, "Professor is just a beast...I feel bad for anyone who faces that guy in competition."

Pennsylvania Combat Sports in Greensburg, Pa is proud to have a great competitor and instructor in Professor Vicente Junior. Congratulations once again on the Pan Am Win VJ!
