Fifty/50 Martial Arts Academy

Last night’s kickboxing class. Kicking drills, all levels, everyone working hard.

A very special night at 50/50. Congratulations to Kelani Ramos on earning her judo black belt.

Kelani has been competing since she was little, and at just 15 years old, she represented Team USA at the 2024 Junior World Championships. This belt represents years of training, competition, perseverance, and growth—and it is very well earned.

We are incredibly proud of you, Kelani. 🥋🖤

Kids don’t just learn jiu-jitsu—they learn how to stay calm when things get hard. They learn to solve problems, keep trying when something doesn’t work the first time, and treat their training partners with respect. The techniques matter, but the habits they build on the mats are what stay with them long after class.

Fundamentals never go out of style. Thanks, Coach David! David Terao

When Coach Jeff is out for eye surgery, and Coach Ryan steps in…one week post wrist surgery.

One throw at a time.

Our preschool and kindergarten students are working on Osoto Gari, a fundamental Judo throw that’s part of our BJJ curriculum. At this age, it’s less about perfect technique and more about learning balance, movement, cooperation, and confidence.

It’s pretty fun to watch them figure it out. 🥋💙

Don’t let summer pass you by! 🛑✋

It was a privilege to host Project Diane, a Donovan & Bank Foundation women’s self-defense program, at our academy.

There is something profound about seeing a room full of women dedicated to sharpening their awareness and taking ownership of their personal safety. It isn’t just about the techniques—it’s about the mindset of resilience and the choice to be prepared. Seeing them on the mats, working with intent and supporting one another, was a powerful reminder of the strength within our community.

A huge thank you to Cesalina Gracie for her expert instruction and for holding the space for these women to grow. We are proud to support Project Diane and the mission of the Donovan & Bank Society.
