Students from McMinnville Jiu Jitsu Academy went toe-to-toe with other martial arts competitors Saturday during the North American Grappling Association tournament in Franklin.After the dust settled at the all-day event, two of the six students from McMinnville captured first-place awards, while the others brought home a “slew of medals,” according to instructor Robin Clark.Kalan Lusk and Aaron Roach were the two students who won first in their divisions. The trophy for first place was a samurai sword.“I teach self-defense and I’m not really focused on tournament or sport jiu jitsu,” said Clark, who owns and operates McMinnville Jiu-Jitsu Academy on Spring Street. “Even though the kids never trained that way and fought kids who do nothing but train for tournaments, they did really well.
