A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Jason Kaluzny on his promotion to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt! He was weighed. He was measured. And he survived the Crucible composed of his peers. The club is super proud of his achievement and we’re excited to add another faixa preta to our growing ranks. Parabéns Jason! 🥋

Congratulations to AXT Jiu-Jitsu students Nick Madrigal and Hannah Wolf for earning their BJJ brown belts! Both students have come a long way in their Jiu-Jitsu journeys.
