🥋 SEPTEMBER GRADING 🥋

Huge congratulations to every student who stepped up and graded this past weekend! 🎉

Each new rank represents countless hours of hard work, discipline, and growth, both on and off the mats.

This is a milestone worth celebrating, and we couldn't be prouder of how far you've come. Keep showing up, keep pushing, and keep growing.

A special congratulations to Keith who will now be joining us in the Advanced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program 🥳

And to the families who support our wonderful students… thank you! 🙏 Thank you for the drop-offs and pick-ups, the washed uniforms, the patience through the tough training days, and for backing your athletes week in and week out. This achievement belongs to you too.

Congratulations to all! We can't wait to see what's next! 💪

If you were not successful, not ready, or not able to attend this grading – don’t worry. Your next opportunity is in December. Now is the time to be coming to class and working through your Grading criteria, practicing technique, writing your notes, and most of all - enjoing the journey. These big grading days are special – but only because it’s the time to reflect on all that has been before. Progress takes time and consistent effort. Your day is coming.

BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION — ONE EXPERIENCE AT A TIME

A look at one of our Teen MMA bouts from our recent Infinite MMA In-House Competition.

These bouts are about building confidence, composure and experience in a safe, controlled environment.

We want them to experience the entire process of competition:
👉The backstage nerves.
👉The warm-up.
👉Hearing their music start.
👉Making the walk to the competition area with a small crowd cheering them on.
👉Listening to their corner.
👉Competing in front of people.
👉Managing the adrenaline.
👉And putting the skills they’ve developed in training into practice under pressure.

The bouts are contested under a modified MMA ruleset with limited head contact, allowing our teens to experience the different phases of MMA while keeping the focus firmly on development.

We also want them to get as much actual competition experience as possible.

That’s why a submission doesn’t necessarily mean their day is finished.

If a submission occurs, the athletes are given a one-minute rest (just as if the round had ended) before coming back out for the next round.

At this stage, the more positive experience these young athletes can accumulate, the better.

Just as importantly, they weren’t left to figure any of this out themselves.

Our teens were stepped through the entire process by two of our top professional fighters, “Diamond” Luke Dally and Harry “The Human Highlight Reel” Webb, alongside members of our adult amateur fight team.

From the backstage warm-up, to preparing to make the walk, to corner advice during the bout and coaching between rounds - our experienced competitors were there beside them every step of the way.

That experience and mentorship is invaluable.

Today it’s an in-house bout in front of a small crowd.

Tomorrow it might be their first external competition.

And years from now, some of these kids may be the ones making the walk under the bright lights.

Confidence comes from experience... and experience has to start somewhere.

💥In House Competition Day💥

Today we hosted a huge in-house competition. Six hours of MMA, wrestling, grappling, and striking action!

We are incredibly proud of every single student who stepped up today. It takes real courage to test yourself physically and mentally in the combat sports arena. Every one of you should be proud of what you accomplished. You are all very special people 🙌

A massive thank you to our staff, coaches, and athletes who have come in to support our students today. We are grateful for your time, generosity, and expertise. You make our gym what it is 🙏❤️

This is what our culture is all about: friendship, respect, and pushing each other to be better. Whether you competed or came to cheer on a teammate, thank you for being part of it.

And a huge congratulations to Ethan, our Adults BJJ tournament champion!🏆

June Gradings!🎗🎉
It was a rainy wintery day outside – but inside these students turned up the heat for our June Grading.

Adopting a martial arts lifestyle is not an easy journey. You have to step out of your comfort zone, test your limits, and acknowledge your areas for improvement. Taking on tough challenges means experiencing failure (at least some of the time) – but that’s why days like these are so important.

We get to celebrate how far you’ve come and the type of success that can’t be seen in a single moment – but only when reflecting on the hard work put in over hours and hours, through weeks and months – and despite the mistakes, the stumbles, the failures… the outcome is there for you to feel within and for your family and friends to see.

We are proud of your amazing progress🙌 Congratulations on an awesome Grading!

A special shout out to our Infinite MMA families ❤ We are grateful for all of the families and friends who make training possible, and who support our students through each and every challenge. Thank you!🫶

And a special shout out to our incredible Coaching team 🙏 We are so grateful to our wonderful coaches who continue to give their kindness, respect and wisdom to our students every week. Thank you!

Classes continue next week. We look forward to seeing you all back on the mat!👊

Who has the best jab in the history of combat sports?

04/05/2026

Podium results from Grappling Industries 💪

Matt Bandy - 5-0 🥇GOLD
Absolute dominance. This is what happens when pressure, pace and intent don’t break.

Matt Burch - 3-1🥈 SILVER.
Came up just short in the final, losing by 2 points in a tight match. High-level performance across the board and showed exactly where he belongs.
Different paths, same standard.

We don’t chase wins - we build fighters who can impose them.

See you on the mat, with Matt and Matt tonight 😎

“There is no tomorrow.”

That line from Rocky III isn’t just hype — it’s a standard.

It means:
No waiting.
No “I’ll start next week.”
No coasting through rounds, sessions, or opportunities.

Because in fighting… and in life…
you don’t get guaranteed tomorrows.

This is the philosophy behind how I coach our fight team!

When you step on the mats or into the cage under us,
you’re expected to train like it matters now.

• Every round has intent
• Every rep has purpose
• Every session moves you forward

No wasted time. No half efforts. No excuses.

Because when it’s fight night —
you don’t get to go back and fix what you didn’t do.

You either prepared… or you didn’t.

Say less. Win more.
