🌎 MASTER WORLDS GOLD! 

What a performance from Mark Lindow Mark Lindow at Master Worlds! He stepped onto the mats in the Blue Belt Master 6 Division and came home with the GOLD! 🔥🥇

All the hours of training, hard rounds, discipline, and dedication came together when it mattered most. I’m incredibly proud of the work he has put in and the way he represented himself and our academy on one of the biggest stages in Jiu-Jitsu.

I also want to recognize our other two teammates who competed at Worlds. Josh, Joshua Tate, & Cam, Cam Masnayon While they didn’t come home with medals this time, they showed courage, preparation, and heart by stepping onto one of the biggest stages in Jiu-Jitsu and representing our academy. I’m proud of both of them and grateful they shared this experience with us.

But getting to be there to coach Mark, Josh & Cam throughout their Master Worlds matches meant even more to me. Watching each of them step out there, compete, and put everything they’ve worked for on the line was something I was genuinely honored to be a part of.

And then, to have the privilege of promoting him to Purple Belt surrounded by his teammates made this moment even more meaningful! 💜

I’m proud to be your coach, Mark, but even more than that, I’m proud to call you my friend. You’ve put in the work, you’ve continued to grow, and you’ve earned every bit of this moment.

Congratulations, Mark! Purple Belt looks good on you. 💜🔥

ADCC Nashville 🥋❤️

We brought a small crew—two of our students, David and Mary—to the ADCC Nashville Open, and they took to the mats to test their Jiu-Jitsu, put their training to work, and see where they could push themselves.

We could not be more proud of them.

Mary brought home the gold 🥇, but both of these kids walked away with something that matters so much more to us as an academy—the experience of stepping on the mats, putting their training to the test, pushing through nerves and challenges, and giving it everything they had.

David didn’t bring home a medal this time, but he showed up, competed hard, and gained experience that will make him better the next time he steps on the mat.

 That’s Jiu-Jitsu. You compete, you learn, you grow, and you get back to work.

And Mary—GOLD! 🥇 What an accomplishment and a reflection of all the hard work she’s putting in every time she steps on the mat. We're glad you're part of our academy!

We’re proud of the medals, but even more proud of the work ethic, dedication, sportsmanship, and heart these two showed all day.

This is what being part of a team is about. We show up for each other, we celebrate each other, and we keep getting better together.

Proud coaches. Proud teammates. Proud family. ❤️

Big day. Big memories. More work to do. 🤙🏻

Took a crew to the AGF Tournament this past weekend! Everyone came home with some hardware!! Excellent performances from our kids and adult competitors alike! 

As a team, we took home 4 gold, 6 silver & 5 bronze! 🥇🥈🥉8 competitors and 8 podium finishes (some of our youngest grapplers doing multiple divisions and first competitions for others)

Proud of the way they represented the team and supported each other on and off the mats. From all facets—takedowns, guard passing, sweeps, and submissions—some things were executed very well and others; we know what we need to work on for the next one. We’re excited to get back to the mats this week and sharpen up for the next one.

Competition days are about more than medals. They’re about testing yourself, learning from each match, encouraging your teammates, and continuing to grow.

Every one of these competitors walked away with something they can build on, and that's what it's all about.

Everyone did great and continues to show improvement. Thanks to all the parents and teammates who came out to support our grapplers!

Congratulations everyone!!

A little late, but too important not to share.

Great turn out for Josh's Joshua Tate last class...

Some people walk through the doors of an academy and become teammates. Others become part of the foundation. From day one, you've been the kind of person who makes a team stronger—not just through training, but through friendship, encouragement, and the way you show up for others. You've played a huge role in building the culture and community we value so much, and your impact reaches far beyond the mats.

Thank you for the countless rounds, conversations, laughs, and support over the years. You embodied what we want this academy to be—welcoming, humble, supportive, and committed to helping others grow. Your friendship has meant so much to so many here, especially me (Dave), and your presence on these mats will be deeply missed.

While we're excited for your next chapter, it's hard to imagine the academy without you.

Thank you for being such an important part of our journey and helping shape what this place has become. No matter where life takes you, you'll always have a home here. Once family, always family." 🥋❤️

Last night, I had the honor of promoting one of my dearest friends, Jenga Dan (Daniel), to Black Belt. 🖤🥋

We've been friends for 16 years, and in that time I've had the privilege of watching him grow not only as a grappler, but as a husband, father, friend, teammate, and leader. There aren't many people who leave a positive impact on everyone they meet, but Daniel is one of those rare individuals.

Anyone who knows him knows exactly what kind of person he is—genuine, humble, loyal, hardworking, and always willing to help others. He has earned the respect of everyone around him, not because he asks for it, but because of the way he carries himself every single day.

A black belt isn't just about techniques, wins, or time spent on the mats. It's about perseverance, consistency, character, and continuing to show up when things get difficult. Daniel has embodied all of those qualities throughout his journey.

It's been an honor to coach him, but an even greater honor to call him my friend. Watching him reach this milestone is something I'll never forget. I'm incredibly proud of everything he's accomplished and grateful for the friendship we've shared over the last 16 years.

Tonight wasn't just about earning a black belt—it was about celebrating the man behind it.

Welcome to the next chapter, brother. You've earned every bit of it. 🖤🥋

🔥 Huge shout out to everyone who leveled up last night! 🔥

Progress in Jiu-Jitsu isn't just measured by belts. Sometimes it's a stripe, a breakthrough during training, showing up on a day you didn't feel like it, or simply refusing to quit when things get tough. Every step forward matters.

Don't get caught up comparing your journey to someone else's. Stay focused on your own path, trust the process, and keep stacking small wins. Growth happens one class, one round, one stripe, and one belt at a time. The goal is simple: be better than you were yesterday. It's always you vs. YOU.

A huge congratulations to Marley and Brittany for earning their blue belts! 💙 Their dedication, consistency, and hard work have paid off, and this achievement is well deserved.

And congratulations to Jenga Dan for earning his black belt—a tremendous accomplishment that represents years of commitment, perseverance, and growth. 🖤 (More on that coming soon!)

We're incredibly proud of each and every person who was recognized last night. You are all a vital part of what we're building at GFTeam Tennessee, and we're honored to share this journey with you.

Well earned. Keep showing up. Keep growing. 👊
