Genesis Martial Arts/BJJ Revolution Alexandria

Sweet 16... how sweet it is for 16 students to get stripes last night!

Way to end the summer-Congratulations to all —Levi, Lincoln, John Paul, Molly, Paxton, Bash, Grayson (his first stripe), Brihat, Bentlee, Carlos, Levi, Lucy, Corbin, Aaron, Stephanie and Asher!

Congratulations to Rimjhim on earning her new belt!

One of the greatest rewards as coaches is watching students grow over the years, and it's been a pleasure to watch Rimjhim's journey. She has developed into not only a skilled martial artist, but also a leader on the mats—especially for our younger girls, who have someone to look up to.

We're proud of everything you've accomplished and excited to see where this next belt takes you!

Let’s welcome Axel to the Youth BJJ class! Excited to have you on the mats with us!!

✨ July Youth BJJ Spark Student – Emery 🥋⭐

Sometimes the Spark Student honor goes to someone brand new. Other times, it goes to a student who reminds us what martial arts is all about.

This month, Coach noticed something special. Instead of trying to dominate a newer white belt during a roll, Emery slowed things down, helped teach, and encouraged them along the way. That's leadership, humility, and the kind of teammate we love to recognize.

When he's not on the mats, Emery's favorite summer memory was vacationing in Branson and riding roller coasters! 🎢 His favorite ice cream is chocolate 🍫🍦, he loves skateboarding 🛹, and this summer he added Osoto gari to his growing BJJ toolbox. 🥋 The person who encourages him the most in Jiu-Jitsu is his dad. ❤️

Emery will be heading into 4th grade this fall, and if he could have one superpower for the first day of school, he'd choose teleportation-⚡📚

Congratulations, Emery! Thank you for showing that great Jiu-Jitsu isn't just about technique—it's about helping others grow, too. We can't wait to see all you accomplish this school year, both on and off the mats!
