On May 24th, the Easton Training Center team won the Fight To Win Colorado State Championship for the fourth year in a row! We had a great turnout, and are especially excited about some of our up-and-coming competitors from Boulder. This tournament was John Schultz Jr.’s first competition, and he took first his gi division. Kathryn Milner also competed for her first time, and she took gold in both gi and no-gi for her division.
Congrats to all the competitors who put it on the line! It takes courage, and it’s amazing to see the amazing people we have in our lives because of this sport.

Instructor Highlight
Patricio Rodriguez
Purple Belt, Boulder
Coach Patricio Rodriguez has been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for six years, and regularly teaches Intermediate and Fundamentals classes at ETC Boulder. Coach Patricio strives for directness in his instruction–he is quick to tell students when and how they can improve. His teaching style also emphasizes being as technical as possible, giving his students a step-by-step breakdown of each move, enabling them to succeed with technique rather than force. His Jiu Jitsu game is focused around the half guard, a position where many people get pinned and passed. Coach Patricio’s half guard is aggressive, making him especially adept at executing sweeps. Interested in improving your half guard sweeps? Looking to get more technical? Visit Coach Patricio’s bio, or contact the front desk at ETC Boulder to set up a small group or private lesson with him.
