JIU JITSU IS NOT ABOUT JIU JITSU

We went apple picking at Pingle’s Farm on Sunday.
Apparently, so did Karma.

One of our favorite things about living and running a business in Ajax is that the people we see on the mats become the people we run into at the grocery store, at local events, and now, in the middle of an apple orchard.

We came for the apples.

We left with apples and a few more pictures with our friends.

Turns out you can leave Karma for the day, but you can’t always get away from the people.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Come play with us!

JIU JITSU IS NOT ABOUT JIU JITSU

Yesterday, we celebrated two years of Karma with a building full of people we love.

Today, we’re doing a whole lot of nothing with the people who started it all. ❤️

Our hearts are full. Our feet are tired. And we’re still trying to process just how incredible yesterday was.

Feeling grateful for everyone who showed up, helped out, brought food, cheered on the competitors, and made our anniversary something we’ll never forget.

And feeling especially blessed to get to build this life together as a community.

Today, though?

We’re resting.

Two years ago, we got the keys.

The Living Room didn’t have a floor.

The mats weren’t down.

There were tires to lay, plywood to cut, things to build, things to fix and a whole lot of work ahead of us.

We knew what we wanted Karma to be.

But we had no idea what these rooms would eventually hold.

Then you fast forward two years…

And the empty room is full.

Full of kids learning Jiu Jitsu.

Full of young STORM coaches learning how to lead them.

Full of parents, siblings and friends in The Living Room.

Full of people who stay after class just to talk.

Full of moments we couldn’t have pictured when we were standing here with a set of keys and a construction project.

We built the floors.

You filled the room.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Karma. ❤️🐞

Thank you for all the love and support!

CHAINING SWEEPS — PART 1

We’re starting with the hip bump sweep.

Get your opponent reacting to you instead of waiting for them to give you something.

Learn this one first.

Because in Part 3, we’re going to use their reaction to connect it to something else.

Save this one. You’ll need it later.

Coaches don’t just happen.

You build them.

During Superheroes, our STORM coaches aren’t standing on the sidelines watching the adults coach or talking to each other.

They’re coaching.

They’re working with small groups of our Superheroes.

Demonstrating.

Giving directions.

Helping.

Encouraging.

Learning how to keep them focused when they have other plans. 😂

Giving them responsibility while also giving them support is important to their growth.

STORM stands for Special Team Of Roll Models.

The goal isn’t to make kids pretend to be coaches.

It’s to give them real opportunities to develop the skills they’ll need to become good ones.

Today they’re helping lead a group of Superheroes.

One day, they may be running the room.

One day you’re the kid following the warm-up.

Then one day, you’re the one standing at the front leading it.

We don’t expect our young leaders to suddenly know how to coach.

We give them opportunities to try.

We stand right beside them.

We notice what they do well.

We praise it.

We give them constructive feedback on what they can do better.

And then we give them another opportunity to try again.

It is about learning how to stand in front of a group, use your voice, give directions, take responsibility, accept feedback and become a little more confident doing it the next time.

We’re not just building better Jiu Jitsu students.

We’re building the people who will eventually be standing at the front of the room.

A little field trip to Team DNA BJJ

Raechel and Alan brought a couple of Karma members along to visit Dainis, Sarah and the crew at DNA while Jordan Preisinger brought Guess My Belt back to Durham.

Last time we got to host this fun event at Karma in 2025. (Link in bio)

This time, we got to sit back and enjoy it at our friends gym.

One of the best parts of Jiu Jitsu is getting off your own mats and onto others.

Different academy. Different people. Same shared love for doing this weird hobby together.

Thanks to Dainis and Sarah for having us.

It’s always good to spend time with friends, especially when they own the gym down the road.

One weekend. A lot of different sides of Jiu Jitsu.

Coach Alan spent last weekend competing at IBJJF Masters Worlds, then switched roles to coach Zach at Jiu Jitsu Con Kids.

From there, it was off to Milwaukee for the Gentle Art Lifestyle Summer Camp, because no matter how long you’ve been doing jiu jitsu, there is always more to learn.

While there, Alan received his second stripe on his brown belt from his best friend, JoshuaJ

Competitor.

Coach.

Student.

Friend.

And somewhere in between all of that, he got to spend time with friends from all over the world. People he probably never would have known if it weren’t for Jiu Jitsu.

The medals, belts and stripes are part of it.

But once again…

Jiu Jitsu is not about Jiu Jitsu.
