These are the Legion AJJ competitors who fought through the rounds to reach the podium at 2021 No Gi Worlds.
PAIGE BORRAS
Paige had an outstandingly dominant performance at 2021 NoGi Worlds. Placing gold in her division (purple belt heavy), and absolute division. Throughout the competition, Paige had a total of 7 matches. Six of which she finished with submissions. All the while not having a single point scored on her. An impressive feat to say the least. However not surprising at all to her training partners and coaches at Legion.
Paige is a dedicated student at Legion, training multiple times a day. As well as teaching Legion’s kids program, training and guiding our future world champions.
Now ranked #1 in the world as a nogi purple belt grappler, Paige has big goals set for the future, setting her sights on ADCC trials. She has not slowed down in the slightest, returning to Legion HQ in San Diego to continue her preparation. The future is bright for Paige as a competitor and coach, If you would like to learn from Paige CLICK HERE

BREYLOR GROUT
Breylor Grout aka JR, after winning NoGi Pans & American Nationals, made a run at NoGi Worlds where he won bronze in a talent-packed brown belt division. JR has an exciting submission-based grappling game, and is always exciting to watch.
JR has been primarily focusing on his NoGi game, also setting his sights on ADCC trials in the near future.
JR’s well-rounded grappling style & modern leg lock game makes him a dangerous opponent, and he is looking forward to showcasing more of his jiujitsu on the worlds biggest stages.
