Congratulations again to all those competed bringing home a total of forty medals!

On Saturday, the Third Law squad sent 5 blue belts, 6 white belts and 4 teens… and then on Sunday, 16 kids and teens took to the mats representing Third Law’s Jiu Jitsu Kids.

Big congratulations to the adult and teen competitors who did their first competition: Rachel Ranschau, CJ McCray, Elijah Watts, Lourdes Serrano, Luciano Sotomayor, Tyson Beebe and Joey Gephart.

Total medal count for the tournament, including the kids on Sunday, was 53.

Teens Results

Team Third Law CJ McCray competes for first time.

Rachel Ranshau planned to only compete in the gi, but when the referee mixed up her cards and put her in two brackets for no gi as well she took it in stride. A novice, Rachel fought two beginners. She got silver in one division and gold in the second, taping one of her opponents with a kimura from the closed guard. In the gi, Rachel won silver in one division and gold in the second, hitting an ommaplata sweep in her second gi match.

Elijah Watts won his gi match 7-0 in the white belt novice division for gold, and in no gi he brought home two silvers.

CJ McCray’s first match in no gi novice went into double overtime and he ended with silver that division. In the gi, he won two matches for gold in the novice division, both on points, hitting an over-the-top sweep from guard in one of his matches.

Nick Adams got two silvers and a bronze.

Coach Joe Formica, representing Team Third Law BJJ in Naples, FL, won three matches for gold at blue belt.

Joey Gephart of Team Third Law BJJ taps an opponent with a kimura for bronze in his no gi division

As Team Third Law competitors compete, Master Roberto was making sure to help and coach his students on the side lines.

Adults Results

For the blue belts, Coach Joe Formica won gold in his blue belt division, taping his first opponent by wrist lock, finishing his second by bow and arrow choke and winning his third match on points with some nice ommplata sweeps.

Coach Eric Morales won silver in his blue belt division, winning his first match 16-0 and his second match quickly, passing, mounting and taping his opponent by ezekiel choke. After hitting a sweep from closed guard he lost his finals match in the last 30 seconds by points, which will forever be known by Team Third Law as “pulling a Morales,” according to Master Roberto. Joey Ruggiero was bumped up to the purple belt division, where he lost a tough match.

Katy Torralbas won one match, taping her opponent by kimura from the closed guard, for gold in her blue belt division. Crystal Bradley got silver in her blue belt division.

First time competitors and partners in crime Joey G and Tyson fought hard, with Joey G taping an opponent by kimura from closed guard for bronze in his No Gi Novice division, as well as a silver in another division. Tyson took home two silvers in No Gi novice.

Luciano Sotomayor, doing his first tournament after just two months training, didn’t medal but got in good matches Gi and No Gi.

Lourdes Serrano hit a nice bump sweep to mount in her first-ever tournament match against a No Gi beginner competitor, but her opponent escaped and she ended with Silver in that division. Then she took on a blue belt in the Gi, coming up short, but ending with good experience and a silver medal.

Morning class stalwarts Joe Randall and Jeff Lucas fought both Gi and No Gi, but unfortunately this competition team reporter was fighting at the same time, and so does not have many details about their fights. Randall tapped one of his opponents with a triangle in one of his matches.

What Students Say...

My son loves Third Law! Coach Joe is amazing with the kids. Not only do they learn how to defend themselves, they also learn how to be respectful to... others. These Coaches are the real deal!read more

This year was the first time my kiddos attended Team Third Laws Summer camp and we were not dissapointed. The kids had a blast on all the field trips... and loved participating in the martial arts classes they did 3 times a week. A big plus was the kids were not on their tablets all summer and were continously active! The staff was amazing and we look forward to camp next year. If i had to give one critique it would be to extend camp a few more weeks:)read more

Started the program about two years ago, and before that i had no fighting experience. I was always interested in learning but, found myself always... fearing I would go in, and it be full of ego. However, I was pleasantly surprised upon entering how friendly everyone is and calm even with someone so new to the concept as I. That extends to the staff as well as the other students. They thrust you into sparring at the end of each class (not forced but highly encouraged) even if it is your first class. I wasn't expecting that, but it is what I'm there for, so I went with it. The experience was amazing. The people I sparred with, was all in good fun and very informative in terms of technique and skill. They didn't make it easy though. Wouldn't want them too either. It's a fight it is not supposed to be. But if you ever needed a break from punching each other in the face it was perfectly normal, and you just talk about life for a minute and go back to it. Such an incredible feeling to be on such good terms with people after trying to beat one another up. Jokes, compliments on good hits and combos. No ego in sight. Never in the year and some change did I have a bad experience there and wow what improvement I received to my health and confidence. It translated to all aspects of my life. A real game changer. I had to take a break for a time and canceled my subscription due to life, but when i found time one night around christmas I wanted to see my old sparring partners. I was welcomed with open arms and gloves. They took me in so that I could work with them again and man was I out of shape from taking that break. It really showed me how much it did for me. It was so bad I couldn't confidently spar at the end of the night, so I had to sit it out. I offered to pay for the one class, but they told me the one night was ok. Great people. Great Gym. Special shoutout to Master Roberto. At the time I went he was running the Kickboxing section which is what I mostly did. He was patient, firm, knowledgeable, and fun. My growth over that first year was phenomenal. Thank you, Master Roberto, if you see this. Also, shoutout to Coach Joe. My first ever class was with him in the Boxing class on a Saturday. He whopped me with only jabs I'm pretty sure! Shoutout to Coach Joey as well for filling Master Robertos shoes exceptionally. Always fostering such a positive environment.I am going to be starting again tonight. Wish me luck. Hope to see you there! don't be afraid. They will take good care of you!Sorry it took me so long to write this Master Roberto. Hope to see you soon!read more

My daughter has gone to Team Third Law for 3 years. This past year we did the after school program. We’ve recommended this gym to everyone! The staff... is amazing; quick to respond, trustworthy with kids, encouraging, respectful, stern yet kind. Coach Joe has left such a positive impact on my daughter. He really made all the difference both at the after school program and at practice. My daughter learned a lot both mentally and physically here. It was just what we needed and I’m thankful for everything this facility has taught her.read more

I started training here as a beginner in the adults class about seven months ago, and knew right off it was a worthwhile investment of time and... money. My teachers are outstanding, providing a friendly and intellectually stimulating (and occasionally full-crazy) atmosphere. The classes are physically and mentally demanding, but I love it. If you enjoy the challenge of a rigorous workout, or a late-night theological debate, or fighting for your life, Third Law is for you. Give it a shot.read more

My entire family has a membership to this gym. From 4 years old to 30 years old. The facility is top tier, the coaching staff are always friendly and... professional, the community and curriculum they’ve built inside those 4 walls is complete and competitive. From your first day to your last you will always receive the highest level of instruction and advice. This gym is single-handedly creating intelligent, responsible and capable athletes. The lessons you learn will affect you positively both inside and outside of the gym. I cannot say enough great things about this gym and how much it will be missed when I move.

I was visiting Naples on a business trip. I considered a few other schools to visit, but I didn't receive a welcoming vibe from the other schools. I... called Team Third Law Academy and was invited to attend the class for that evening. I had a long day of meetings, and was running late so I called and let them know I wouldn't make it, I didn't want to disrupt their class, but they insisted that I was still welcome and that I come. Once I arrived, I was greeted at the door by coach Formica who immediately invited me onto the mat, and introduced me to an awesome training partner. The coach was thorough, my partner was considerate, I had a great time. After class, I had an opportunity to roll with coach Formica and Professor Roberto Torralbas. They were both tough skilled BJJ practitioners. Everyone at the school was welcoming. They told me continually, that they were my home away from home.If you live in the Naples are make this your home! Visit this school before you commit to any other school in your region. Professor Torralbas and his wife are graduates of Cornell University, and have an after school program geared providing a value added academically enriching opportunity for youth.Make sure you visit them before you decide on a BJJ school in the Naples area. You will love it!!!read more

The facility is extremely well kept and it’s honestly such a joy to see my kids burn off some energy and most importantly have the time of their life with so many of their friends that they have made because of the teams.

My husband and I signed up our very energetic but shy 6 year old sons. We needed aftercare for them but with constructive guidance and discipline... while learning a sport. We were pleasantly surprised when we went in for orientation to note that they do pickup from school and help with homework. The added perk is that they are available and open to you on early release days and days when schools are closed. As very busy working parents this Academy is a life saver. My younger son was extremely shy and would not initially participate in activities. Coach Joe was very encouraging and patient with him and now he loves his Martial Arts. Not only are our children safe but they are very happy and disciplined while learning lessons that will aid them not only with academics but with life in general. My very introverted sons are now more extroverted chatterboxes. I highly recommend Third Law Academy, Master Roberto, Coach Katy, Coach Joe and Ms. Mila are a Godsend for those of us without family support.Gillian and Miguelread more

Joining Team Third Law was the best decision I have made since moving to Naples. It is exactly what I was looking for in a martial arts school.

I refer friends to the kids program for their children. I would refer Team Third Law to anyone who's looking to compete, to someone just looking to learn some self defense skills. It has an element for everyone, without the intimidation factor that you find at other facilities. This is a warm, but hardworking environment .read more

Prof. Roberto treated me like his own student even though I was a guest and showed some really cool techniques. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town!read more

I've been to a few martial arts gyms back in Idaho and ego has always dominated. Here at third law, I sensed very little ego and the camaraderie was... refreshing. A true war clan, I"m becoming a student today. On that note, they make it very very easy to join and pay monthly.read more

Third Law is an amazing BJJ school that not only allows for students of all ages to learn a martial art and receive physical education, but have also... combined the wonders of a martial arts dojo with an after school turtoring center. With large clean facilities, and great mentors and teachers, I would recommend Third Law to anyone beginner or advanced as the BJJ school of Naples, Florida.read more

When you first walk in to Third Law Academy the atmosphere is amazing. The staff is very humble and go out of their way to insure you understand... everything that is taught.

I visited the gym when I was in town for work. I had an absolute blast! The instructor showed some great techniques and his method of instruction... was well received by the class. From the second we walked through the door, we were greeted and accepted as if we had been training there for years. I’m definitely hoping more trips to FL are in my future! I highly recommend this club!!!read more

I was in town for a few days and was able to drop in for a night. The school was large and well lit, with a lot of mat space. The instructor was... extremely welcoming as was the team, and I felt included in everything. I was having some trouble with the finer details of some of the technique, as my home gym uses a much different guard-passing system, and a brown belt helping with the class took the time come over and point out where I was going wrong. At the end of class I got to roll with a blue belt (same as me) and he was extremely tough with an awesome bottom half guard, which I could not pass to save my life. The instructors invited me back the next day, but I could not due to time constraints. Overall, I was very impressed, and had a great time training at third law.read more

Great staff and coaching. It's a very friendly, non-intimidating environment. When you join, you can choose between all jiu-jitsu, all muay thai, or... both. I'd highly recommend them, love it there!read more

Third Law is a great place to train in Naples. I had the pleasure of visiting while on vacation. Coach Kathy started with the grand tour of this... sprawling facility with three separate mat areas. Roberto Torralbas teaches a very detailed beginners class followed by rolling and advanced (which could have gone to 1am and most often does). I had a blast rolling with both Coaches Joey and Joe. They pushed the pace to make sure I stayed on track for my upcoming Fight to Win match. I'll be back soon.read more

So jealous of guys and gals that get to call this place home. I stopped in with my girlfriend while traveling to train BJJ and they couldn't possibly... have been more hospitable. The facility itself is very clean with tons of mat space but the most impressive part was the level of instruction from both Roberto and Joe. I have trained at a lot of different gyms while on the road and this is one I will make an effort to return to. Rolling with Roberto and Joe made me feel like a white belt again, in the best possible way. There is no better training this side of Florida, and so close to the beach too!read more

Boyfriend and I are travelling around the country, training BJJ whenever possible. This place is one of the best gyms we've been to. Incredibly warm... and welcoming, very professional attitude and culture, and a top notch blackbelt instructor who trains hard and is actively competing. Excellent teaching style - kind and a great sense of humor. No big egos here.read more

Was visiting the area from Minnesota and wanted to get some training in. I called and Katie invited me to stop in. No charge, just come by. I walked... in and literally every single person greeted me with a handshake or a pound. Joe the instructor was super friendly and was kind enough to grapple with me at the end of class. Really great experience and I hope to swing through next time I'm in the area. Great place.read more

I will never forget the day that Mario and I found out about team third law and we had our first orientation. I thought we were just going to watch a... video and just fill some papers . boy was I wrong ! From the very first day we were introduced to the mats and some starter techniques and of course I was freaking out. We always went to the gym and worked out before but this sport just seemed scary but we gave it a try . Let me tell you these are the friendliest down to earth people I have ever met and they made us feel just at home . If you have never done any sports before don't worry they will have patience with you because I know coach Katy and Master Roberto have had more than enough patience with me and you will never feel pressured or embarrassed . I can honestly say team third law blessed us and opened the door to many opportunities and great friends.read more

Came in on a 6 week vacation looking for a workout. Had done just enough BJJ in the past to hurt myself. I met Coach Joe after looking at 3rd Law... website. He was friendly and kind at sign up. I'm an old man but in good shape. I was pleased to find there were other fogies in there. The workouts are great, Joe being my main Coach. The other students to a person are pleasant. After the hour long flow drills there is a half hr of grappling. I last about 10 minutes now compared to 1 minute 5 weeks ago. I've learned that BJJ is a marathon not a sprint. I plan to continue at 3rd Law as I transition from a Yankee part timer to a FLA resident. Master Roberto has a great program with excellent facilities and instructors including Joe, Joey and Katy. Old or young, male or female, rookie or expert, you can't go wrong with Team 3rd Law.read more
