Local Athlete Triumphs in International Events

We congratulate Iskania Pérez of Cabarete on her recent wins at her first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) competitions abroad in the United States. Her years of training, hard work and perseverance have paid off, resulting in a first place win in two divisions at the Newbreed Ultimate Challenge Gulf Coast Classic in Sarasota, FL. Iskania also championed at the Atlanta Spring International Open, placing 3rd in her division. Sea Horse Ranch is proud to be among the sponsors of her trip. 

Training with Tomas Papo Sone for the past five years at the Jiu-Jitsu club de La Costa in the Callejon de la Loma of Cabarete, she is a purple belt holder.

While many people encounter BJJ through surf training, Iskania encountered surfing through her BJJ academy, training alongside brown belt Kengei Fung who is founder of the popular surf school of El Chino in Cabarete. She was provided free access to his school's surfboards to learn and practice the sport, which led to Iskania representing the Dominican Republic with the national surf team in the Pan-American Surfing Games in December 2017. Iskania's future goals include continuing to compete and travel, and she is grateful for all of the support from the community.
