Sam Achieves His Dream of Gold at the Nogi World Championships

On Day 3 of the 2022 Nogi World Championships, a dream came true for Sam as he achieved the pinnacle of success, becoming the 2022 Nogi World Champion. Last year, Sam came heartbreakingly close, earning second place. But instead of letting that result define him, he used it as fuel to work harder, refine his craft, and push himself to new heights.

Returning to Oakland with a fire in his heart and a clear vision of his goal, Sam overcame countless challenges, stayed consistent, and dedicated himself to his dream of gold. Today, all that hard work and perseverance paid off as he stood atop the podium, proving that anything is possible with determination and grit.

This moment is even more special as Sam also earned his Purple Belt, a testament to his growth and the level of skill he brings to the mats.
