Once very secretive about their lives, a new generation of American Gypsies are much more keen about sharing their lives publicly. On the upcoming season premiere, for example, a young Gypsy boy attempts to make Romanichal history by becoming the first Gypsy jiu-jitsu champion.

Here’s what to expect on the upcoming season from TLC:

The season also features a double wedding with two Gypsy sisters getting ready to wed their non-Gypsy fiancés, despite their mother’s objections about marrying outside the bloodline; An Irish traveller pursuing his dream of becoming America’s first Gypsy rapper; a young Gypsy couple who has found love online – and plan to meet for the very first time on their wedding day, and a young Romney teen who turns her back on tradition to follow her dreams of becoming the first Gypsy supermodel. And one of the biggest family rivalries – between the Stanleys and the Smalls – comes head to head when two Gypsy teenagers defy all odds for an attempt at a life together.
