🔥🥋 STUDENT OF THE WEEK: DARREN! 🥋🥊🔥

Help us celebrate Darren as our Student of the Week!

Darren is not only a dedicated student, but also one of our kids class coaches here at Total Revolution. He puts in the work across BJJ, Striking, and MMA, and continues to lead by example every time he steps on the mats.

Darren trains hard, competes regularly, and has even tested himself on a huge stage by competing at Worlds. That kind of commitment shows his love for the sport and his willingness to keep growing, learning, and challenging himself.

One of the things that makes Darren stand out is how well he works with everyone. Whether it is a brand-new student walking in for the first time, bigger training partners, kids in class, or teammates at any level, Darren brings patience, kindness, and a helpful attitude.

He is kind to everyone, passionate about martial arts, and truly cares about the people around him. Darren is the kind of teammate and coach who helps make the gym feel welcoming, supportive, and strong.

Martial arts is about more than training hard. It is about leadership, humility, consistency, respect, and helping the people around you get better too. Darren shows those qualities every week, and we are proud to have him as part of the Total Revolution family.

Congratulations, Darren! Well deserved! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 STUDENT OF THE WEEK: HUNTER! 🥋🔥

Help us celebrate Hunter as our Student of the Week!

Hunter is a fantastic kid who brings nothing but good vibes, fun, and positive energy to the mats. He is always a joy to be around, and we love the excitement and personality he brings into class.

Hunter tries hard, listens well, and does a great job implementing the techniques we work on. That kind of focus and effort makes a huge difference, and it has been awesome watching his skills continue to grow.

Since joining Total Revolution, Hunter has made a huge improvement in his technique, confidence, and overall ability on the mats. He shows up ready to learn, gives his best effort, and keeps getting better every week.

That is what martial arts is all about — building confidence, discipline, focus, teamwork, and the courage to keep trying. Every class is another opportunity to grow, and Hunter is doing an amazing job taking advantage of it.

Congratulations, Hunter! We are proud of you and excited to keep watching you grow! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 MOVE OF THE DAY SHOUTOUT! 🥋🔥

Big shoutout to Preston, Austin, Chris, and Joey!

All four of these awesome guys hit different variations of our guard passes today during live rolls! We have been drilling single legs and guard passes this week, and tonight they took what we worked on in class and actually implemented it while rolling.

That is a huge win.

It is one thing to learn the technique during drilling, but it is another level to stay focused, recognize the opportunity, and hit it during live training. Seeing four different students put the work into action in one night was absolutely awesome!

This is exactly why consistency matters. Every rep, every class, every drill, and every roll adds up. Progress happens when students show up, stay coachable, keep working, and trust the process.

We love seeing our members build skill, confidence, timing, and toughness on the mats. Nights like this show how much growth is happening inside the gym, and we could not be more proud.

Great job, Preston, Austin, Chris, and Joey! Keep putting in the work! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 BIG SHOUTOUT TO ITY! 🥋🔥

Help us show some love for Ity!

Ity did an awesome job hitting the move of the day during a live roll! That is such a big win because it shows she is not just learning the technique — she is building the confidence to use it while training.

Ity always brings a smile, excitement, and great energy to the mats. She jumps right into every technique, stays ready to learn, and brings such a positive attitude to class every time she trains.

That kind of effort and enthusiasm is what makes martial arts so special. Every class is a chance to grow, try something new, build confidence, and become a little stronger. We love seeing our students show up with excitement, work hard, and celebrate those little victories that turn into big progress over time.

Great job, Ity! We are proud of you and excited to keep watching you grow! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 BIG SHOUTOUT TO Adrian! 🥋🔥

Help us show some love for Adrian!

Adrian did an awesome job hitting the move of the day — a single leg takedown! It was so exciting to see him take what we worked on in class and put it into action. And this sweet boy wanted his momma in the photo!

This little guy absolutely loves BJJ, and it shows every time he steps on the mats. He puts all of his effort into practice, brings tons of drive and fire, and is always ready to learn, roll, play games, and work on his techniques.

Adrian's excitement for training is contagious. You can see how much he enjoys the challenge, the movement, the teamwork, and the fun that comes with being part of the gym. That kind of energy is exactly what we love to see in our young martial artists.

Martial arts is about more than just learning takedowns and techniques. It is about building confidence, discipline, focus, courage, and the habit of giving your best effort every time you show up. Every practice is another chance to grow, and Aiden is doing exactly that.

Great job, Adrian! We are proud of you and can’t wait to keep watching you grow! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 STUDENT OF THE WEEK: DREW! 🥋🔥

Help us celebrate Drew as our Student of the Week!

Drew has been part of the Total Revolution family for a couple of years now, and we have loved watching him grow on the mats. He is often excited to answer questions in class, jump in to help pick up, and volunteer when it’s time to demonstrate techniques.

Drew also brings great effort during rolls and games. He tries hard, keeps learning, and continues working to build his skills every time he trains. He has even competed for Total Revolution, showing courage, determination, and a willingness to challenge himself.

One of the things that makes Drew extra special is how much he helps off the mats too. While hanging out at the gym during Mom and Coach Darren’s classes, Drew does a great job helping keep his baby sister entertained and safe. That kind of responsibility and kindness says a lot about who he is.

Martial arts is about more than just learning moves. It is about becoming more confident, helpful, focused, respectful, and willing to keep trying even when things are tough. Drew shows those qualities in class, with his teammates, and with his family.

Great job, Drew! We are proud of you and excited to keep watching you grow! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 BIG SHOUTOUT TO RYLEE, ARIYA, AND ADRIAN! 🥋🔥

Help us show some love for Rylee, Ariya, and Adrian!

These awesome kiddos were hitting the move of the day during rolls last night and did a great job putting their technique into action. We worked on our butterfly guard sweep, and it was so exciting to see them actually use it during practice rounds!

That is a huge part of growth in martial arts — not just learning the technique, but building the confidence to try it while rolling. Rylee, Ariya, and Adrian all showed focus, effort, and the willingness to keep working even when things get challenging.

Even though summer has begun, these kiddos are still showing up, training hard, and working on those gains! We love seeing our students stay committed, keep improving, and continue building their skills one class at a time.

And of course, we had to end the week with some fun too! Everyone got to finish class with our obstacle course, bringing plenty of smiles, energy, and excitement to the mats.

Great job, Rylee, Ariya, and Adrian! We’re proud of you! 👏🔥

🔥🥊 STUDENT OF THE WEEK: JAXON! 🥊🔥

Help us celebrate Jaxon as our Striking Student of the Week!

Jaxon is truly a ray of sunshine at Total Revolution. Every time she steps onto the mats, she brings the perfect mix of energy, excitement, and chaotic joy that makes everyone around her smile. She has such a fun spirit, an amazing attitude, and the kind of personality that lights up the room.

Jaxon loves training in BJJ, both Gi and No-Gi, and she also brings that same excitement into our Striking classes. Whether she is working technique, jumping into class, or bringing big energy to the group, she always shows up ready to have fun and give her best.

She also loves our women’s dance parties and has become known for her “Sid Shuffle” song. She even volunteered to teach it to everyone — and of course, we all loved it! That is exactly who Jaxon is: sunshine, fun, kind, and always willing to bring people together.

One of the best things about Jaxon is that she is kind to everyone. She always has the biggest smile, brings joy to the mats, and honestly seems like she has never had a bad day in the gym. She is a ball of happiness, positivity, and fun, and we are so lucky to have her as part of the Total Revolution family.

Martial arts is about more than kicks, punches, takedowns, and submissions. It is about confidence, community, courage, and becoming someone who makes the people around you better. Jaxon does that every time she walks through the door.

Congratulations, Jaxon! You are so deserving of Student of the Week, and we are incredibly proud of you! 👏🔥

🔥🥋 STUDENT OF THE WEEK: CHRIS! 🥋🔥

Help us celebrate Chris as our Adult BJJ Student of the Week!

Chris trains No-Gi BJJ the most, and we wanted to take a moment to recognize how much skill he has developed since starting. He picks things up incredibly fast, continues to improve every week, and brings a great attitude with him every time he steps on the mats.

But what really makes Chris stand out is the kind of person and training partner he is. Chris is always willing to roll with everyone, help others work through the technique of the day, and create a positive training environment for the people around him.

He is skilled, coachable, hardworking, and genuinely one of those people who makes the room better just by being in it. Chris is such a pleasant human, a great teammate, and an awesome training partner.

That is what martial arts is all about — progress, humility, teamwork, and helping the people around you get better too. We are proud to have Chris as part of the Total Revolution family and excited to keep watching him grow.

Congratulations, Chris! Well deserved! 👏🔥
