Open Source BJJ won Best Overall Academy + Best Adult Academy! Amazing job today at the Asheville Newbreed tournament!

🏅 To our competitors: we are so proud of you! Every one of you trained hard and gave it your all out there. Your sportsmanship was impeccable and together, y'all won Open Source BJJ the top spot of Best Overall Team and Best Adult team for the entire tournament!

🦸 To our coaches: y'all are amazing. Being at the beck and call of 20+ teammates on seven mats and making sure each and every one of them had a coach supporting them is superstar-level work. 🙏 

👏 To our teammates: all of you who showed up today to support and cheer on our competitors - it means so much more than you realize! Thank you also to ALL our teammates who helped prepare our competitors for tough matches!

🤸 To parents: thanks for chauffeuring your kids to and from practice, and raising wonderful tiny fighters. We are so proud of all the work they put in, and all the work YOU put in to make that possible. 

Grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Asheville BJJ community and get to spend the day wrastlin' around and hanging out with a bunch of cool people. 

P.S. We are just awful at getting folks together for team pictures...missing at least half the team 🤦‍♀️. Also apologies to the adults for getting zero action shots!

Gotta admit, the last pic is my favorite. 🥹

This weekend we'll be hosting Camp Grappalachia, so that means our Sunday schedule will change just a bit:

No Women's BJJ
No Judo
YES Open Mat from 2-4 !

Carpool if you can, 'cause parking's going to be tight. 🚗 🚗 🚗

All are welcome at Open Mat - no camp ticket needed.

🚨 New merch! Tshirts! Tanks! Cropped tanks! 

Only for sale in person for now, so you gotta come train if you want one. :)

Original artwork by and printing by our friends over at 🙏

Begrudgingly modeled by your very own and me! 😁 This might be the only time you're ever going to see him in a tank top 😆.

IBJJF Pans in Florida is a wrap! 

Had a family trip planned in Orlando for that weekend and figured, heck, why not also sign up for a big ol' tournament?

I was thrilled to place 3rd in my division and also to have my parents and BFF drive up to cheer me on. 😊 

Bobby was less thrilled to get bumped out of the bracket with his first round, but after a year of recovering from 2 major surgeries, it might take a few competitions to knock the rust off. 

We are so very grateful for amazing teammates who helped us prepare and awesome BJJ friends who helped coach and support at the tournament (including loaning me pants when mine didn't pass the gi-checker!). 

Now it's back to the mats and back to work!
