We made a new friend!!!

Tonight in our adult gi class, we had a drop-in visit from Professor who currently trains just across the state line in Kansas!

It was a pleasure to meet you and train with you brother…. We hope you can come back again soon, and we appreciate you stopping by this evening.

Making connections in our local Jiu Jitsu community is very important to us at SOJA!

Professor Josh & Richard Train with

Yesterday, these two made the trip to Springfield, Missouri to attend the Robert Drysdale seminar hosted by (a proud Zenith affiliate) and it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish!

Robert Drysdale’s career speaks for itself. ADCC Absolute World Champion. IBJJF World Champion. UFC veteran. One of the most accomplished American grapplers in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu history. Very few athletes have ever reached the pinnacle of the sport across both gi and no-gi competition the way Rob has, and getting the opportunity to learn directly from someone with that level of experience is something truly special.

But beyond the accomplishments, titles, and legendary status, what stood out most was the kind of person Rob is. Genuine. Humble. Open. Authentic. In today’s world, that level of sincerity and character is honestly rare to find, especially from someone who has achieved so much at the highest levels of combat sports!

Huge thank you to Team Fusion for hosting such an amazing event and bringing together a great room full of grapplers eager to learn and grow. The hospitality, professionalism, and atmosphere were top-notch all the way around!

We’re grateful for opportunities like this and excited to bring that inspiration and knowledge back home to Square One Jiu Jitsu Academy in Downtown Lee’s Summit, Missouri.

WELCOME BACK TO SQUARE ONE, 💪

Tonight we had the honor of welcoming back Alex Cuevas, CEO of , to Square One Jiu Jitsu Academy here in Downtown Lee’s Summit, MO.

Traveling in from Buffalo, NY, Alex made time during his business trip to Kansas City to step back onto the mats with us and we couldn’t be more grateful. This isn’t his first time at Square One either… he came through last year, and it says a lot that he made it a point to come back!

At Square One, we believe in building more than just athletes. We build relationships, community, and a culture people want to return to. Having leaders in the martial arts industry like Alex spend time with our team and students is a reflection of what we’re building here.

Thank you for the continued support and for being part of the room tonight brother. You’re always welcome on these mats!

👀 Be on the Lookout 👀

Lately, we’ve been noticing a new trendy counter to the Octopus Guard 🐙 popping up on almost every Jiu Jitsu outlet you can think of.

In short, we put it to the test and uncovered a few details worth breaking down… We’ll be announcing a NEW instructional video dropping on our YouTube channel across our socials soon.

Stay tuned!!! 🎥

Congratulations to our boy, Mike and Jake 👏 for earning their
🟦🟦⬛️⬛️🟦
this weekend at SquareOneJJ!!!!

Mike’s skills speak for themselves, and we talk a little bit about that in the video. What we didn’t talk about in this clip is that Mike signed up for his 1st competition at the age of 51 😳 securing wins by rear strangle from the back on all of his opponents!!!
But beyond what he brings physically, he’s a devoted husband and father off the mats… and that same level of commitment carries over into the way he shows up for his team here at Square One week after week!

In Jake’s clip, we touched on his dedication, but there’s even more to it. He’s also one of our regular kids coaches and has represented the SOJA team in multiple competitions, gaining valuable perspective with every win and every loss.

Every promotion at SquareOneJJ is earned, not given… we DO NOT believe in attendance based advancements!
Congratulations again Mike and Jake, VERY well earned brothers!

🥋🤼‍♂️🤙❤️
