The week started off with Jeremy, Mike and Jacob at the IBJJF Masters International in Long Beach, having Mike win his division, Jeremy taking double bronze, and Jacob capping it off with a double gold performance! .kuhlman.79

Huge congrats to the new 2026 European Champion, Jeremy Brick! After losing in the first round last year, coming back from a major knee surgery, working his butt off months on end he comes back to claim what’s his. Nobody works harder than this man, nobody wants it more! First major title at black belt, many more to come!! We couldn’t be more proud and impressed by his performance and work ethic day in and day out. Congratulations CHAMPION! Soak in the moment!!! DOG!!! DONT WISH FOR IT, WORK FOR IT!!

Quick shouts to the boys who travelled down to Texas for the IBJJF Waco Open today! 3 competitors 6 GOLDS!!

Jeremy in his return from surgery makes a statement taking double gold! Rust?! What rust?? This dude didn’t take a day off. And I mean not a day, he hobbled in the day after surgery to be there to watch class. His disciple and determination is next to none. With this attitude and drive we cannot wait to see him back in the majors this upcoming year! Congrats, Jeremy!

Jason with his second double gold to start out purple belt! After dominating the KC open he returns with another strong performance in Waco! Not bad for a guy who never thought he would compete. It’s been a blessing to see who you become in the process! Pans championship… loading! Let’s go!

Round it out is Andy who won white belt pans this year, taking his first IBJJF at blue by storm! Way to break in that blue belt proper, only a small sample of what you’re going to do at this belt! DOGS!!!

What a weekend, boys! Enjoy it, back to work this week! PROUD!!
