Let's pack the mats tomorrow morning!

Coach Jesh was breaking down the headquarters passing position and showing everyone how to use pressure, positioning, and proper technique to open up passing opportunities! 🔥

The little details make a BIG difference in Jiu-Jitsu. Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep sharpening those skills!

Great work on the mats, everyone! 🐙

When your opponent gets a little too confident with that over-grip… 😏

Professor Tony demonstrates Ude Gaeshi—a slick judo takedown that works beautifully when your opponent reaches over and controls your collar grip.

The key? Commitment. This is not the time for half measures. Get your position, trust the technique, and absolutely SEND IT. 🚀🥋

Sometimes their strong grip is exactly what you need to put them on the floor.

This one’s tough to post. 🐙

Our brother Matt is heading out for a military assignment that’ll keep him away for over a year. Matt, you’re going to be missed. The mats won’t be the same without you.

We hope this next year is a rewarding one, and we can’t wait to roll with you again when you’re back. You’ve got family here, and while you’re gone, if you or your loved ones ever need anything, Kraken has your back. Just say the word.

Train hard, stay safe, and come home soon. 🤙

Caleb was PUMPED when we told him he was getting a purple. He was a little let down when he found out it was a belt and not a crayon. 🖍

All jokes aside — congratulations, Caleb. Years of showing up, getting better, and putting in the work. Well earned. Proud of you, brother. 🥋
