Joel passed his green belt test! Joel has been an exceptional student and teammate since his first day on the mats and has made a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Keep up the hard work and dedication! We are proud of you.

Two young men from Black Lion Jiu Jitsu Academy and White Elephant traveled to Indiana over the weekend and took on new challenges. Bryson Pols made his point Muay Thai debut and Quentin P made his FULL CONTACT kickboxing debut for IKF Midwest Unfortunately our fighters didn’t come away with victories this time but they fought hard, close fights while making adjustments between rounds and proving to be coachable in the heat of battle. Thank you again to coach Duncan Duffin for his help with preparation and cornering. It’s a team effort and the Black Lion/White Elephant/Cali Striking combo is strong!

A pillar of the West Michigan martial arts community. Always had kind and encouraging words for me and my students. He will be missed. Oss!

He was a quiet man, but his love and dedication to his family, friends and students spoke loudly.
