At 55, running a gym full of good people can be challenging. I know I can’t keep up with everyone, especially the competition team, so I do my part to stay in shape and keep showing up.

I get tapped. I get beat. Sometimes I get rag-dolled. And that’s OK. I love this game, and I’m going to stay in it for as long as my body lets me.

Every now and then, that little thought of quitting creeps in. When it does, remember: if I can keep going, so can you. 🫵🏽

Be smart. Take care of your body. Eat well. Choose your training partners wisely, but don’t shy away from those tough rounds.

Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep rolling.

Good day for the team.

We finished 2nd in team points with only 7 athletes competing and had the best win/loss ratio of the event. Proud of the effort and how everyone represented the academy.

Thank you to all of our training partners for helping prepare the team and putting in the work with us. Also appreciate everyone who came out to watch and support — it means a lot to have people there cheering the team on.

Back at it, see you June 27 😈

“Don’t give up. It can seem intimidating at first, but Jiu Jitsu is life changing”

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu changes more than your game—it changes your mindset, confidence, and how you face adversity.

The original 6AM class in the Twin Cities.
Years later and it’s still built on the same thing: consistency, hard rounds, early mornings, and people who genuinely want to see each other grow.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just showing up before the city wakes up and putting the work in together.

Proud of what this room has become and the people who make it what it is every morning. 🥋☀️

The one and only… ☀️☀️☀️
