ATT NAGA Miami Team Champs!!!

ttt- congrats ATT

great job guys! hope to see all of you soon!

Marcos - I understand why people are complaining. But let me get this
straight, FFA is in a process of opening a new location, right? So when
you put them to compete are you gonna split the schools? No. They
will compete as FFA. Which is more than fair. Renzo has more than 10
schools up north and he wins every NAGA as just one team. Lloyd Irvin
does the same, and I could keep going on and on. Whats the big deal?
So when they do, no problem, but when ATT does, "damn, this is not
fair, they have so many schools!". I could give you tons of examples for
that, but this conversation will go nowhere.

BTW I was not trying to redeem the lost of last NAGA, I had no excuses.
No complains at all. But do the same this time. Not only you, but
everybody else too.

Also, this time nothing change about the score system. We entered as
ONE single individual team: ATT. Nothing changed "for some reason".

And yeah, we scored way more than Popovitch; and you are right,
nobody cares that much for NAGA when we have fighters in all major
MMA events.

Congrats to FFA too, to all your competitors and you and David.

Unfortunately for me, I am not close to FFA, Popovitch or any ATT school. I was planning to move to Doral and was going to start with FFA, but the real estate situation in South Florida has put a damper on my plans. I gotta say that all three schools are great. I have had the opportunity to meet the crew at FFA and they are great guys. I also had the chance to train a little with Renato Tavares before he left to Orlando and he was a great instructor.

I know guys that train or have trained in all three schools and they are all very happy.

Bottom line is that you can't go wrong with any of these schools. They are all providing quality instruction.

Where you live and what your family responsibilities are,have alot to do with where you can train. I could care less about competing and want to learn how to be a better fighter on the street. More importantly, I want my 10 year old twin boys to learn from one of these great schools.

Just my 2 cents....

Congrats to all at NAGA!!!

Peace,
Larry

Larry,

I wouldnt be too worried about going to a big name school, honestly. There are certainly some good things about smaller schools too. I know my son gets a lot of one on one instruction with his instructor due to there being not a lot of kids in the class. Our school only had 2 Jrs competing but they both took home 1st place honors(both in intermediate). Infact, my brothers kids go to one of the schools you mentioned and in comparing the Jrs programs he wishes his kids was more like the one my son goes to ie less fluff and kiddie stuff then again that might be why we don't have a lot of kids.:)

TTT FOR NAGA MIAMI CHAMPIONS ATT!!

Post the official points. ATT- TEAM CHAMPS !

there are 2 Awards at NAGA

Team Award- You won combining your 14 different locations.

Individual School award- Awarded to the Best School in the tournament

Team champions- ATT

Individual champions- Team Popovitch

Maybe you should get your facts straight before posting anything in the future.

We won the Individual Award and the word whooping was uncalled for, after all the individual school award is the only Award that schools like Team Popovitch, FFA can actually win. We only have 1 location.

Congratulations To ATT
