This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives defending freedoms that should never be taken for granted. 🇺🇸
Noon Open Mat is ON this Monday.
Evening classes are canceled as we take time to reflect, spend time with family, and remember the cost of the liberties we hopefully still have the gumption to fight to preserve.
You gotta mess up to get it down.
Might as well struggle with your buddies.
Set out to build a room;
not for show, not for noise,
just a place where people could be themselves.
A place to drop your shoulders,
put your nose down,
and get a little better every day.
Just grappling. No fluff.
No shortcuts. No pretending.
Just work… and people growing into who they would like to be.
It’s working.
Come see for yourself.
See if it fits you.
We’ll be here.

Tomorrow’s schedule:
Early Bird Grappling (No-Gi) 7-8:30 AM – For the psychopaths that prefer violent hugging over breakfast.
Adult Beginners (No-Gi) 12–1 PM – Clear instruction. Mentally challenging rounds, but beginner-friendly. Step on the mats. Learn the concepts. Build your confidence. Rinse and repeat.
Homeschool (No-Gi) 1–2 PM – Clear instruction. Fun, focused, rolling with purpose. They’ll move, learn, and leave better than when they came in.
Kids Gi 5:30–6:30 PM – Perfect for the littler monsters. Mostly grappling-based games. Skills, games, and grappling that sticks.
Adult Gi 7–9 PM – Clear as we can make it instruction. Hard rounds. Drill, roll, push yourself.
Show up ready. Do some work. Leave better.
