I always teach that life is about relationships and skill acquisition. Yesterday, at ADCC Atlanta was amazing. To share the experience as a Team. We had 4 masters competitors and 3 adult division. Only our big man, Mitchell brought home the gold. Everyone, including myself in the masters advanced division, embraced the comfort in chaos.
Honored to share the journey of relationships and skill acquisition with do many amazing people.
The journey continues...

Coach Vivi and I were grateful to be able to share Gracie Jiu-jitsu with middle school girls from the Museum school today. The young ladies were engaged and asked some great questions as we focused on distance management and boundary setting.

Another epic day at Gracie Decatur. Had several of our advanced program students level up, next up Purple for our Judo black belt and collegiate wrestler. Love to see successful martial artists invest the time and energy to learn Gracie Jiu-jitsu. Mike, Mark Anthony, Kathleen, Denzell and Josh.
Any guesses which one is a second degree black belt in Judo and which was a collegiate wrestler?
Anyone
