Stronghold Brazilian JiuJitsu Academy

I want to thank all my students past and present, the parents and families that supported Stronghold for the past 6 years. My instructors for your undying loyalty and trust. Throughout all our struggles and victories we fought through it all together.

My most sincere gratitude to all of you.

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.🤙

Congrats to all who got promoted tonight during our final class. It was sad and a very happy moment at the same time. I couldn't be more proud of all of you!!

It was an honor to serve you all.

Completely forgot about spring break.

We were 6 strong in our last ever little kids class.

I'm confident they will never forget the lessons we all learned together, both on and off the mats.

Such an honor to be able to share this art with others in the community.

It was awesome to get to roll with Edwin one last time. He's moving on to bigger and better again and wish him the very best of luck on the west coast with his beautiful family.

Edwin is one of my OG's at Stronghold and was a pleasure being his instructor all these years.

Happy Birthday to the one and only Adriana. Always on the mats and always having fun.

Happy International Women's Day.

We want to thank all of our students and their families past, and present for supporting the school and in turn creating an amazing lifestyle that we need to catapult us into the future.

We've had a fantastic 6+ years running as Stronghold JiuJitsu Academy.

Sadly, as all things must pass we have decided that we are in need of a new chapter and some new challenges in life. We were glad to have the city of Livonia as our home base, and couldn't think of a harder working community to call home.

We also wanted to thank the amazing schools in our area to help in the transition of our students to the next level. Good luck to everyone carrying the Stronghold lifestyle with them into the next phase of your training and endeavors. Be brave!!

Much love and gratitude, I will miss you all, you have made me grow as a person and as an instructor in ways you will never know. The friendships, camaraderie, trials, frustrations and mostly all the victories and personal success stories each of you have. It's an honor to be included in this part of your lives.

Joe

JiuJitsu has taught them many lessons but what I'm most proud of is how honest they are with each other.

Due to the horrible road conditions currently developing in the Livonia area, we are going to cancel classes this evening for kids and adults.

Stay home and stay safe.

Congrats, Joe. You worked hard for this.

Due to the ongoing snowstorm we are experiencing, we have to reluctantly cancel classes again tonight.
Stay safe and drive carefully if you must go out. See you all very soon.
