Our head instructor and owner, Coach Joe, brought home Gold from the M1 Black Belt division at the IBJJF No-Gi Pans. 🥇

We love having our students and coaches test themselves at the highest levels, especially at some of the biggest competitions in the world.

The best way to find out what we need to work on as an academy is to get out there and do the research ourselves. Congrats, Coach Joe!

For our kids students, some of the best benefits of training go beyond the Jiu Jitsu techniques.

Learning to listen and focus, work with others, and push through something difficult are skills developed on the mats that carry over well beyond them.

Jiu Jitsu is just the vehicle.

Work Hard, Leave Better.

Congratulations to all of our Kids Program students on their well deserved promotions yesterday!

Yesterday was our first of many Promotion Days, and we couldn’t be more proud of this group.

In less than 10 months, we’ve watched our program grow and these kids work hard, stay focused, and continue to progress.

We’re proud of every one of you. Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep getting better!

We are excited for our first Kids Promotion Day! As a newer academy, less than a year into our program, it is amazing to see the growth in such a short time that the students have been making.

We are excited to acknowledge some of those developments and some of the students who are due for a stripe or belt promotion. Please join us for some live training, promotions, and celebratory pizza!

We had an awesome time at the Newbreed Competition this past weekend. Wins and losses are definitely a part of competing, and we had a good day of results.

But, it’s so much more important than that. The group of people, the moments of families coaching and competing alongside each other from parents and their kids to siblings competing. Teammates coming out to support each other, helping each other warm up, and the fun stuff in between the chaos of competing.

Great times. We look forward to many more as an academy!

Have a great holiday with your friends and families. We will see you on the mats before and after!

We are so proud of the students who entered the Newbreed competition yesterday! We had 12 competitors who walked away with 15 medals (9 Gold, 5 Silver) and went 26-10 in their matches!

We are just 10 shorts months into our journey as an academy. Competition is just one small part of BJJ, but recently people had been asking about trying it out.. and wow!

Our main focus has been and will always be having a fun atmosphere with good people who LOVE jiu jitsu. We always say “we take Jiu Jitsu serious (like the techniques) but not ourselves.” But when you train with intent and are having fun… results usually follow. A lot of fun was had and a ton of support was shown!

While there’s quite a few members in the picture, it’s the mat room full of teammates who made Yesterday’s competition results possible, as well as the support of their parents, spouses, grand parents, siblings, friends, etc. all coming out to cheer and support- so cool to see!

Keep up the great work everyone!

Whether you’re an upper belt refining something you already know, or newer to Jiu Jitsu learning a concept for the first time, you can’t do it without a good training partner.

One of the things we love seeing from our Fundamentals Program is how quickly newer students become comfortable training with people of all experience levels and belt ranks after completing it and moving into advanced class.

After just a few months of building a strong foundation and learning the important concepts of Jiu Jitsu, they’re ready to jump into the room, get rounds with anyone, and keep learning!

Our 3 Competition Training practices leading up to next weekend are officially in the books. And judging by the turnout and energy on the mats, it’s pretty clear this is something our students want.

Another great group on the mats today putting in the work. Great job by everyone.

Starting after next weekend’s competition, Competition Training will become a regular part of our schedule — just at a new time.

Stay tuned for the updated schedule!
