You’ve seen the gym but lets meet the family behind Canebrake Lab 🥋🐍
This gym is a family affair, and every one of us has a hand in making this dream a reality. Hold on tight, we got a big crew 😆
🥋 Caleb — Husband & Head Instructor
Caleb is a current purple belt who has been in the game for over 10 years and has competed at local, national, and world levels. He’ll be competing at IBJJF Master Worlds on September 4th in Las Vegas, so send him ALL the luck! 🤞🏼
But what makes Caleb such an important part of Canebrake Lab isn’t just his experience on the mats. It’s his love for coaching and passing along the knowledge that was once given to him. Having trained under Tim Credeur and Jared Conques at Gladiators Academy - he surely has a wealth of knowledge to give!
Jiu Jitsu has taught him that when things get difficult, you have to stay calm, keep working, and figure out your next move. That mindset has followed him far beyond the mats and into everyday life.
And that’s exactly what we want for our students.
We want them to learn jiu jitsu, but we also want them to learn perseverance, problem-solving, confidence, discipline, and how to keep going when something gets hard.
Emily — Wife & Owner
I’m the one behind a lot of the business, planning, organizing, and everything that happens behind the scenes. I’m so excited to watch this dream come to life and to build something our entire family can be proud of. Also, a current white belt and looking forward to stepping on the mats in our “home”
Tupper — 8 years old | Grey&White Belt Competitor
One of our little competitors and already learning so much through his jiu jitsu journey.
Gunner — 6 years old | Grey&White Belt Competitor
Another young competitor who is growing, learning, and putting in the work on the mats.
Ryker — 3 years old | Future Mat Rat
He may be watching from the sidelines for now, but he’s growing up around jiu jitsu and is already a big part of our Canebrake Lab family. 😉
Lyza-Elaine — 6 months old | Sissy-Official Gym Baby
Our newest little girl and quite possibly our youngest Canebrake Lab supporter. 🥹🤍
This is US!
A family building something we believe in, together.
We know walking through those doors for the first time can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve never trained before. Maybe you don’t feel athletic or “ready.” Maybe you’re wondering if jiu jitsu is even for you or your child.
We’re here to tell you:
Just give it a chance.
You don’t have to know anything before you start. You just have to be willing to step onto the mat and learn.
We’re looking forward to meeting you, getting on the mats with you, and helping you along in your jiu jitsu journey.
