Training.

Continuing to learn, build and grow is why we do this. If we don’t push ourselves we don’t grow. Thank You, Nick for taking the time to stop by this morning. Your insight and knowledge was a game changer. We are really loving these impromptu rolls. Thanks, Luke. See you all on the mat.

Live action.

Love what you do, and do what you love. Happy Monday, everyone.

Kids are the lifeline and these kids are great.

Great graduation this weekend. Congrats to everyone that received new belts and stripes. Like In life, in Jiu-Jitsu consistency is key. You get out of it what you put into it. See you back on the mats on Monday to continue the journey.

Congrats on your promotion, Nate Dog. You’re a big legend.

Class is in session.

Big rolls this morning. Thank you for stopping by, Professor Roger Gracie, and thank you Luke, Marcus and Alex for catching a serious vibe. It’s lit 🔥

Big congrats to this legend right here. You’ve graduated from Independent Kids to training with us big kids :) We are so glad to have you, Ana Grace. Excited to see where your Jiu-Jitsu journey takes you.

Have a great holiday weekend everyone. Just a reminder, we are closed for Memorial Day. See you all on Tuesday.

The new spot is open and rocking. Come by and check us out.

Starting something new.

Thanks to everyone that came today to see our brother Johnny off.

Dear Johnny Boy. The man, the myth, the legend. So many things to say here but the thing that comes to mind first is legend. You had the best stories and you always showed up. Not only for me and Coach but for the school as well. When me and Professor Ricardo decided to start Independent Jiu Jitsu you were the first one to jump in and ask how you could help. I’ll never forget that and we will never forget you. We love you Johnny Boy and you’ll be sadly missed. Rest easy my brother and get all the rolls in up in heaven. We will see you again one day, but until then, Peace. Love Professor Ricardo and Professor Ben.

Beautiful people doing beautiful things.

New beginnings.

Squad in here!

Happy International Woman’s Day to all the amazing women out there and especially this amazing woman, Tegan who comes to grind it out with us every night.

Great Squad.

Hands down the funnest class of the week. These kids keep us inspired!

Patience is a virtue.

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” What a great quote from Dr. Martin Luther King. It relates to Jiu-Jitsu in such an uncanny way. With that, we’ll be closed for the holiday today. See you all on the mat tomorrow.
