DCJJ students, AJ and Joaquin, were very successful at the last Copa Nova tournament in March in Chantilly, VA. AJ won silver in his teens Gi division, while Joaquin won double-gold at his weight division in Gi and No-Gi in the over 30 category. Three medals – two competitors, not a bad day at all and great way to defend our home turf! Congratulations to both!
