And of course, Brazuca Açaí and TacoXotic will be there with us—the businesses that have supported AOE since day one! ❤️

AOE keeps bringing the best. No seminar fees. Just great Jiu-Jitsu, great food, and an even better community. 🖤

NO TIME TO REST. 🔥

What an incredible seminar with Vinni Magalhães!

This weekend was all about learning from one of the best to ever step on the mats. Vinni brought a wealth of knowledge, sharing high-level techniques, concepts, and details that will help our students elevate their Jiu-Jitsu for years to come.

What impressed me most was not only his accomplishments in the sport but his willingness to teach, answer questions, and make sure everyone walked away with a deeper understanding of grappling.

Thank you, my brother, for taking the time to come to Art of Entanglement and share your knowledge with our team. We are grateful for your friendship, your professionalism, and everything you do for the Jiu-Jitsu community.

Thank you as well for bringing your family and spending the weekend with our AOE family. It was an honor to host you all.

Obrigado, irmão. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Back to back… but this one feels different. 🏆

Being named Best Academy in Monterey County again isn’t just an award to us—it’s a reflection of a community that believed in something we started from the ground up.

Art of Entanglement was never just about Jiu Jitsu.
It’s about the kids finding confidence.
It’s about the adults finding purpose, discipline, and a place to reset.
It’s about families growing together on and off the mats.

To every student who walks through our doors…
To every parent who trusts us with their child…
To every visitor, drop-in, and teammate who has shared rounds with us…
To everyone in Monterey who has supported us from day one…

This belongs to you.

We’ve laughed together, struggled together, competed together—and that’s what makes this special. Not the trophy… but the people behind it.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us build something real.
This is more than a gym… this is family.

And we’re just getting started. ❤️
