CXBJJ Academy, Training Center HQ

Team,

It is with a very heavy heart that I share the devastating news that Professor Eric Gonzalez has passed away a short time ago.

Professor Eric was more than just a coach — he was a mentor, a leader, and an example to every single one of us. The impact he made on our adults, kids, families, and students will never be forgotten. He carried himself with humility, strength, discipline, and kindness, and those lessons will live on through everyone he helped on and off the mats.

Right now, our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this incredibly difficult time. As a Jiu Jitsu community, we are more than teammates — we are family. And family stands together during both the good times and the painful ones. I ask that we all rally around his loved ones, support each other, and honor his memory the same way he showed up for all of us.

Professor Eric’s legacy will continue to live through every lesson taught, every student encouraged, and every life he touched.

Rest in peace, Professor. You will never be forgotten.

Enrique Watson

Out of an abundance of caution, and in line with local government agencies and schools, CXBJJ HQ will be closed this afternoon and evening. All classes are cancelled. Classes will resume tomorrow morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.

From the tournament brackets to the pro show lights, this is where preparation meets opportunity. Our athletes have put in the work, now it’s time to represent the CXBJJ name. Let's make both weekends something to remember! OSS!

❄️SNOW DAY AT CXBJJ! ❄️
