Leake BJJ

👊 BUDDY MONTH IS HERE! 👊

Ever wanted to train jiu-jitsu with a friend?
Now's your chance.

For the entire month, every Leake BJJ student can bring a buddy to train FREE for 30 days!

Whether they're looking to:
✅ Get in shape
✅ Learn self-defense
✅ Build confidence
✅ Meet great people
✅ Try something completely new

This is the perfect opportunity to get them on the mats and see what jiu-jitsu is all about.
Who knows? The training partner you bring today might become your teammate for years to come.

Time is going to pass either way. Why not spend it learning something that could change your life?

Tag the friend you've been trying to convince to train. 👇

"Two are better than one... If either of them falls, one can help the other up." ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

A strong community changes everything.
When you're tired, someone pushes you. When you're discouraged, someone encourages you. When you succeed, someone celebrates with you.
Jiu-jitsu is an individual journey, but nobody reaches their potential alone.

We're proud of the community we've built at Leake BJJ - a room full of people committed to helping each other become stronger on and off the mats.

That's what family looks like.

⚠️ LEG LOCKS ARE COMING ⚠️

Think your guard passing is good?
Think your top game is safe?
Think again.

On June 18th at 7 PM, we're bringing in Christos Papadelos to break down one of the most dangerous and misunderstood areas of modern jiu-jitsu: leg locks.

Whether you're completely new to leg attacks or looking to sharpen your entries, control, defenses, and finishes, this seminar will give you practical tools you can immediately apply to your game.

The athletes who ignore leg locks eventually become victims of them. The athletes who study them become a problem for everyone else.

📅 June 18th
⏰ 7:00 PM
📍 Leake BJJ

Private lessons are also available on Friday for $100. If you've been wanting one-on-one instruction to accelerate your game, now is your chance.

Don't be the person tapping to something you never took the time to learn.

See you on the mats. 👊🔥

Time is going to pass either way.

A year from now you can still be sitting on the sidelines wondering if you should try Jiu-Jitsu…
or you can be stronger, healthier, more confident, harder to break, and surrounded by people pushing you to become better.

You only get one life.
What the heck are you waiting for?
Come train.

Most women spend their whole lives being told to be smaller.

Be quieter.
Be careful.
Don’t take up too much space.
Don’t make people uncomfortable.

Jiu-jitsu changes that.

Every Thursday night, women walk into our gym nervous, unsure, and doubting themselves…
and slowly discover they are far more capable than they ever believed.

Confidence is not something you wake up with.
It’s built.
Through challenge.
Through discomfort.
Through proving to yourself - over and over - that you can do hard things.

Our Women’s BJJ Class is completely FREE because we believe every woman deserves the chance to discover that version of herself.

Come try one class.
You may walk in anxious…
but you’ll walk out stronger.

The bravest person in the room is usually the white belt.

The one choosing discomfort.
Choosing humility.
Choosing to fail publicly at something hard.

No glory.
No recognition.
Just the decision to keep coming back.

That kind of courage deserves respect.

Jiu-jitsu is so much more than learning how to grapple.
It teaches kids confidence, discipline, courage, composure, and how to work through difficult situations without giving up.

Every class challenges them physically and mentally while surrounding them with coaches, mentors, and teammates who genuinely want to see them succeed.

Over time, you don’t just watch them become better athletes.

You watch them become stronger humans.

Put your kids into jiu-jitsu.
You won’t regret it.

Today we remember that freedom has always carried a cost.

Before there were medals, celebrations, and long weekends… there were men and women who stood in the gap for people they would never meet. People who laid down comfort, safety, and in many cases their lives, so others could live in peace.

At Leake BJJ, we talk often about courage, sacrifice, discipline, and service to something greater than yourself. Memorial Day is a reminder that these values were written into the foundation of this country long before they were ever practiced on the mats.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” ~ John 15:13

Today we honor the fallen. We pray for their families. And we remember that true strength is never selfish.

From all of us at Leake BJJ: Thank you to those who gave everything. 🇺🇸

Your cardio still stinks.
Your guard passing still needs work.
And deep down you already know ducking one open mat somehow turns into missing three.

We will absolutely notice your absence.
Mostly because your training partners need fresh victims.

See you at noon. Bring water and your excuses so we can choke both of them out.
