Core Jiu-Jitsu Mississauga BJJ & Self Defense

Please Vote in the Finals of the Mascot contest Below

So the mascot contest happened.

And honestly? You guys crushed it.

I figured we'd get a handful of submissions. Instead we got a flood of really good ones — and now we have to pick one.

As a team we narrowed it down to two finalists. Both are great. Both feel like us. And we got stuck.

So instead of deciding for everyone… we're letting YOU pick.

Because this is your academy. Your team. Your mascot. The thing ending up on our gis, shirts, and banners for years.

It's your call.

To everyone who submitted, thank you. Seriously. The fact that this many people cared enough to create something says everything about this team.

Now let's go pick a winner.

See you on the mats,

🔒 Stuck on top but can't finish? You're not alone.

You've earned the mount… and then your opponent tucks their elbows, builds a frame, and suddenly your dominant position feels useless.

Gordon Ryan just broke down exactly why that happens — and more importantly, how to fix it. The secret isn't strength. It's a simple head shift that changes your entire leverage equation.
We broke down the full technique on the blog — including how it plays out differently in the Gi, No-Gi, and MMA. Because the mount is NOT the same position in all three, and if you're training it the same way across the board you're leaving a lot on the table. 🥋

More than half the team was off doing Family Day weekend things (we get it), but the warriors who showed up?

We took over that trampoline park like it was a competition mat :)

Nice to get out of the academy and just let these kids be KIDS for a minute. They work hard. They deserve to fly.

Back to our regular schedule now, but here's the NEWS:

Commitment / Engagement: Showing Up Matters

Kids today are surrounded by distractions — sports one week, video games the next. But Jiu-Jitsu is different. It’s built on repetition and commitment.

They learn:

Consistency: progress only comes if they show up regularly.

Focus: being fully present in class, not half-engaged.

Follow-through: finishing what they start, even when it gets tough.

Parents see this change quickly. Homework stops being left half-done. Chores stop being avoided. Kids start to build habits that stick.

And here’s what matters most: that lesson of commitment becomes part of who they are. Years down the road, it’s what helps them get through high school, finish a degree, or stick with a career path.

👉 Ready to see your child engage fully and follow through? Schedule their free consultation now.
