🔥 THE OFFICIAL TMX T-SHIRTS ARE COMING! 🔥

One of my favorite parts of building all our events, but especially the TMX has been watching all the different pieces come together—and these shirts are on point. 👊🔥

We’re excited to always be working with Mr. Clark, owner and designer at Voyageur Design & Apparel, for our official 2026 TMX Invitational apparel!

Christian has been helping bring our ideas to life for years, and for TMX he’s going all-in with us—creating the designs, printing our official event shirts, and producing some seriously fun custom TMX transfers so competitors, families, teams, and spectators can personalize their gear at the event.

And because this is TMX…we couldn’t stop at just ONE design. 😎

🥋 Official TMX Invitational designs
🔥 Custom event transfers
👊 Team Wolverine
💥 Team Benzschawel
🏆 Competitor & martial arts-inspired options
✨ Mix, match & build a shirt that represents YOUR TMX weekend!

COMPETITORS: Want to guarantee your official TMX T-shirt? Add yours to your competitor cart before the event! Quantities and sizes available onsite will be limited.

A huge THANK YOU to Chris and Voyageur Design & Apparel for not only being an incredible business, but for continuing to support Zimmerman's Freestyle and helping us turn some of our crazy ideas into something people actually get to wear. 🙌

MORE THAN MARTIAL ARTS

A child walks into their first martial arts class nervous. They don't know where to stand, don't know anyone's name, and they're worried about getting something wrong.

Across the room, an adult may be feeling exactly the same way.

Maybe it's been years since they've exercised. Maybe they've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that they've forgotten to make time for themselves.

Two completely different people.

Both about to discover what they're capable of.

They train. They learn. They continue to grow.

And slowly, things change.

The child who was afraid to speak starts answering with confidence. They learn that making a mistake doesn't mean failure—it means try again.

They learn discipline, respect, perseverance and how to shake someone's hand after competing against them.

And those unfamiliar faces beside them?

They become friends.

The adult changes too.

They're getting stronger. Learning new skills. Challenging themselves. Laughing with training partners. Accomplishing things they weren't sure they could do.

And somewhere along the way, both discover something bigger than punches, kicks, forms, weapons or grappling.

Confidence.

Not the kind you have to announce.

The kind that comes from knowing:

I can do hard things.

That's what we love about martial arts.

Kids learn to believe in themselves.
Teens find somewhere they belong.
Adults rediscover what they're capable of.
❤Training partners become friends—and friends become teammates.

As another school year begins, maybe it's time for more than going Back to School.

It's time to get back to routines. Back to goals. Back to challenging yourself.

For your child.

And maybe this year, for YOU too.

BACK TO SCHOOL.
BACK TO CONFIDENCE.
BACK TO COMMUNITY.
BACK TO YOU.

🔥 IT’S SO GOOD. 🔥

Sometimes you just have to stand back, watch the room, and appreciate what’s happening.

Last night’s Youth Pankration and Z-Team practice was, again, one of those nights. 👊🥋

The skill. The intensity. The teamwork. The coaching. The kids pushing each other, learning from each other, and having an absolute BLAST doing it.

These students are learning how to strike, grapple, move, defend, compete, perform and think — but even more importantly, they’re learning confidence, discipline, composure and how to be great teammates!

Everyone is putting in the WORK.

There is always just an energy in the studio that makes you know…

THIS. This is why we do it. ❤️

Work hard. Train hard. Have fun. Get better together.

It’s so good. 🥋🔥
