This past weekend we took a small crew of 8 competitors to Proving Grounds Submission Only and put together another strong showing.

Proving Grounds' Submission Only rule set creates a different kind of competition environment. With no points to protect and no advantage to hold onto, the objective is simple: hunt for the finish. That creates an aggressive style of grappling built around constant attacks, transitions, and submission attempts.

It’s an environment that gives our athletes an opportunity to open up, take chances, and test their ability to create and finish opportunities against resisting opponents.

Our small crew made the most of it.

Team Results

🥇 5 Gold
🥈 8 Silver
🥉 1 Bronze

🏆 5th Place Overall Team

Taking 5th Place Overall with only eight competitors is a great accomplishment and a reflection of how hard this group competed throughout the day.

As always, thank you to our coaches, parents, and families who kept everyone supported and ready to compete. These events only work because everyone plays a part.

Proud of the work and proud of the way this group represented the team.

We are strong because we are together.

This past weekend we competed at NAGA and put together a strong performance against some tough competition.

NAGA’s rule set allows a wider range of submissions than most of the tournaments we compete at throughout the year. That changes the environment. Athletes have more attacks they need to be prepared for, more problems to solve, and less room for mistakes.

That’s part of what makes events like this valuable. Competition gives us an opportunity to test what we’re doing in the gym against different opponents, different styles, and different rule sets.

Our team showed up ready for the challenge.

Team Results

🥇 12 Gold
🥈 12 Silver
🥉 4 Bronze

🏆 2nd Place Youth/Teen Overall Team

As always, none of this happens alone. Thank you to the coaches who spent the day moving from mat to mat, the parents and families who kept everyone organized and ready, and the teammates who supported each other throughout the tournament.

We’re proud of everyone who stepped onto the mats and represented the team the right way.

We are strong because we are together.

Technology has changed the world forever.

Just in the Martial Arts world, there are no more secret techniques. Modern competition has shown us what works and what doesn't, and video and statistical analysis allow us to understand why. Today, anyone who wants the information can find it.

But information isn't skill.

Skill has to be built through physical work, and that requires other people.

You can't get better without your teammates. And your teammates can't get better without you.

That second part is just as important as the first.

If you're improving but the people around you aren't, eventually you won't have training partners capable of pushing you to the next level. Your development depends on their development, just as theirs depends on yours.

We must build each other.

And that's really what I see when I look at this picture from our annual Summer Potluck.

SCS isn't just a collection of people who happen to train in the same building. We aren't even just a team.

We are a family.

And like most families, we aren't perfect. We disagree sometimes. We have different personalities, different backgrounds, different strengths and weaknesses. We have good days and bad days.

But we work toward the same goals.

We push each other when it's time to work. We celebrate each other's successes. We help each other through failures. And when someone genuinely needs us, we take care of our own.

No one accomplishes greatness alone. There simply aren't enough hours in the day to become great at everything required to get there. At some point, you have to rely on the people around you, and they have to be able to rely on you.

That's what makes a team successful.

That's what makes a family strong.

And after another incredible SCS Summer Potluck, I'm reminded once again how fortunate we are to have built both.

We are stronger because we are together.
