Congratulations, Gianna! 🥋🏆

Congratulations to Gianna! She competed this weekend at a Fuji tournament as part of her preparation for the upcoming IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Con in Las Vegas.

This tournament was a great opportunity to get more competition experience, sharpen her skills, and prepare for the big stage.

Gianna is one of 10 CMA athletes traveling to Las Vegas to compete at Jiu-Jitsu Con. We’re proud of her hard work and dedication!

Keep working, Gianna! Vegas is coming! 🔥🇺🇸

🎉 Happy 7th Birthday, Zayn! 🎂🥳

Zayn just turned seven years old, and his birthday party was one he will never forget!

His amazing parents organized an incredible private four-hour birthday party at Urban Air in Merrillville, and the entire school was invited! The kids had an absolute blast jumping, playing, laughing, and celebrating together. 🤸‍♂️🎈

The best part? They were still talking about the party today in class! 😂

Thank you to Zayn’s parents for putting together such an amazing celebration and giving all the kids a day they’ll remember for a long time.

Happy Birthday, Zayn! 🎉🥋❤️

🥋 Saturday Tae Kwon Do Sparring Class!

Our Tae Kwon Do program is an excellent way for children to develop discipline, balance, confidence, coordination, and respect—all while having fun and staying active.

At Corral’s Martial Arts, we believe in creating well-rounded martial artists. That’s why our kids are exposed to three different martial arts disciplines:

• 🥋 Tae Kwon Do – Speed, agility, balance, and dynamic kicking.
• 🥋 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi & No-Gi) – Ground control, leverage, and practical self-defense.
• 🤼 Wrestling – Takedowns, pressure, scrambling, and toughness.

By training in all three, students develop a complete foundation in self-defense while building confidence, resilience, and lifelong skills that extend far beyond the mats.

A balanced martial arts education creates confident, capable kids—both on and off the mat.

Got a special visitor tonight.

D is Black Belt #5—the fifth black belt I ever promoted.

One of the greatest gifts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just the techniques or the belts. It’s the loyalty, the friendships, and the bonds that, in most cases, last a lifetime.

Moments like these remind me that the real legacy isn’t just creating black belts—it’s building lifelong friendships.
