Brown Belt Jimmy Harbison is another grappler to watch in 2010. Jimmy already has a medal from the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championships (2009 Purple Belt Meio Pesado – 3rd place) and a whole rack of local tournament victories. I had the opportunity to watch Jimmy compete at the local OTM tournament when I brought grapplers from my Columbia BJJ school to compete and he is talented! Coincidentally, he is sponsored by Hybrid gis, the company that also sponsors Crazy 88′s Jon Delbrugge.
A friend of JT Torres and Jay Hayes, Harbison, started in with them and then trained with American Top Team when he relocated to Florida. Now back up north, Harbison has rejoined with his old teammates under the Team Lloyd Irvin banner. His first outing will be this weekend at the IBJJF European Open in Lisbon Portugal.
At only 19 years old, Jimmy Harbison has a bright competitive future ahead of him. He is one Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor to watch for many years to come.
