Looking back on where we started in November of 2020 just looking for a way to keep practicing jiu jitsu to where we are now is incredible. We went from a handful of kids who we threw masks on when it was time for pictures to where we are now. There were nights we had two kids in practice who were no where near the same weight so we had them work with grappling dummies. Monday we had 43 kids in practice between our 4-6 year old group and our 7-12 year old group. Thanks to all the parents and coaches who have come along with us on this ride so far!

Julian competed in Springfield this month and continued to crush, winning Silver in his Gi and his No Gi brackets. His hardest rounds are not in competition, but with his teammates each week. Building skill that translate under stress cannot be mimicked without great teammates!

On August 8th, we sent five kids to compete in Springfield. They were no doubt the smallest team there. Those five kids tied for third place in total points, the team they tied with brought 26 kids. Tie breaker was total wins, which favors the bigger team. That result is incredible and shows the buy in that our kids have to our system and the dedication the coaches and parents for this team display.

Always leading from the front, Coach Elijah competed in Terre Haute last month. He brought home a Gold medal in a higher weight class and a silver medal competing against more experienced and higher-ranked opponents. No one was surprised.

Will compete last month in Terre Haute. No photos exist, but he won a Silver medal in his Gi bracket. This was Will's first tournament and his improvement since then has been remarkable. We always say that competition is a skill accelerator, and Will is proving that correct each week in practice.
