NEW YORK CITY World Clan recap /// Shot by: Stephen Gomez

The City that doesn’t sleep! New York City is a city that you must visit. The culture, food, art, architecture and Fashion is what makes this city special. 

There were over 80 people from different teams that came to partake in what they would call a new beginning for New York Cities Jiu Jitsu. Many traveled for Nogi Pans and made themselves available for the event. World Clans goal is to bring unity and good vibes that will help Jiu Jitsu become larger than it already is. So much great energy in the room with people being unsure of what to expect and after a few words from Bear that solidified what everyone was getting into definitely started the breaking of the ice. As soon as the techniques were taught, everyone started getting comfortable and as soon as the open mat rolling sessions started everyone just became in tuned with the good vibes & good rolls. There were (10) Black belts presents: Fabio Clemente, Babs Olusanmokun, Dominyka Obelenyte, Murat Akinci, Nobi Kashiwagi, Jared Weiner, William Wolk, Nick Calvanese and Bear Quitugua all of whom made that day a special one for everyone. In the end, it was one BJJ community coming together to share their techniques and good vibes with no politics.
