Nurlan showing off his silver medal!
EC San Diego student, Nurlan Sermagambetov, participated in last week’s 2014 American National Jiu-Jitsu No-GI Championship in Los Angeles. As an athlete under the Brazilian training academy, ATOS JIU-JITSU, Nurlan participated in the blue belt, super heavy category. His training and hard work paid off, as Nurlan came in 2nd place for his competition category! 
Nurlan coming in 2nd place!
Nurlan leaves EC today, as he graduates from his Semi-Intensive English course at the Pre-Intermediate level. Although Nurlan was only a student with us for one month, we are so proud of all he has accomplished within his short time in America! Not only has he improved his English, he will also be returning home as a Jiu-Jitsu champion!
Keep up the hard work, Nurlan!
