Science of Jiu Jitsu Academy

Another outstanding weekend for Team Science of Jiu Jitsu!

Congratulations to all of our youth, teen, and adult competitors on an incredible performance. Our athletes displayed outstanding courage, composure, and technical skill, earning an overall team record of 8-3, with the youth team finishing a perfect 5-0 and the adult/teen team going 3-2. Even more impressive, the vast majority of those victories came by submission—a true testament to the effectiveness of our technical Jiu Jitsu.

Special congratulations to Austin, Leighton, Kaleb, Kasiah, Canon, Jace, and Professor Zach, who all secured impressive submission victories in the cage.

None of this happens by accident. It is the result of countless hours on the mat, discipline, sacrifice, and the unwavering support of our families. Thank you to every parent, teammate, and supporter who helped create an incredible atmosphere this weekend.

Win or lose, we’re proud of every athlete who stepped forward and represented our academy with class. We continue to prove why Science of Jiu Jitsu is one of the premier programs in the region.

We’ll see everyone back on the mats this week—ready to keep improving.
