WORLD MASTER 2026 — LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 🦍🥋

I have to take a moment to brag on Daniel Brown and Jeremiah Rangel as they get ready to represent Silverback Martial Arts at the IBJJF World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Las Vegas!

I’ve had the privilege of watching firsthand just how much work has gone into getting to this point.

Daniel puts countless hours into not only his own training, but into running our gym, teaching his students, helping them grow, and pushing them to become better every day. Even with all of those responsibilities, he continues to challenge himself as a competitor and lead by example.

And then there’s Jeremiah. Watching one of our own students put in the work, stay dedicated, and earn the opportunity to travel with us and compete on the World Master stage makes this trip even more special. He and Daniel have both trained incredibly hard for this moment, and I couldn’t be more proud to see them representing Silverback together.

I also want to give a huge THANK YOU to Professor Trent Draper for taking the time to come to Silverback and train with our team. Having someone willing to share his knowledge, experience, and time as these guys prepare for Worlds means more than we can say. We truly appreciate you investing in our team. ❤️

Now the work has been done. The hours have been put in. It’s almost time to step on those mats and leave it all out there.

No matter what happens in Vegas, these two have already given us plenty to be proud of.

Daniel & Jeremiah — go represent Silverback, Livingston, Texas, and everyone back home cheering you on! 🦍🔥

🥳 WE TURNED 8 YEARS TODAY! 🥳

What a journey it’s been. Nearly a decade of growth, hard work, and unforgettable moments on the mats.

I want to take a moment to thank every single person who has been part of Silverback Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—past and present. Your support, trust, and commitment mean more than words can say.

What stands out most isn’t just the training… it’s the people.
The friendships built. The confidence gained. The bonds formed that might’ve never happened without this place.

That’s what makes it all worth it.

If you’ve ever trained with us, I’d love to hear from you—drop a comment and share:
👉 A friendship you made
👉 A moment that stuck with you
👉 Something positive you’ve gained from training

Your stories are what this gym is all about.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started.

— Coach Daniel 🦍
