Don't sweat the national title. You don't want to be known as the 160 lb. big fish in the small pond. Gabi Garcia won the gold at ADCC, but she did it by being twice as big and twice as strong as any of the other competitors. She may think she accomplished something, but most other people think she is a goon.
I think your silver and bronze in the older divisions speaks louder than a gold at the 12-13 yr old division.
