Leake BJJ

🚨 TOMORROW NIGHT 🚨
Leg locks are one of the fastest-growi
ng and most dangerous aspects of modern jiu-jitsu.

The question isn't whether you'll encounter them.
The question is whether you'll know what to do when you do.

Tomorrow night, we're bringing in Christos Papadelos to share the details that separate people who get caught from people who stay safe and finish the fight.

Whether you're a competitor looking for an edge or a hobbyist wanting to understand a crucial part of the game, this seminar is for you.

Don't be the person who says, "I wish I would've gone."
See you on the mats. 👊🔥

🏆 STUDENT OF THE MONTH: ZACH 🏆

This month we're recognizing Zach for the qualities that make a great training partner and a great teammate.

Zach consistently brings a positive attitude to the mats, works hard to improve his game, and genuinely cares about the people around him. Whether he's helping newer students, encouraging teammates through tough rounds, or putting in the work to sharpen his own skills, he represents the kind of culture we're building at Leake BJJ.

Growth in jiu-jitsu isn't just about learning techniques - it's about developing character, humility, and perseverance. Zach has demonstrated all three.

"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." ~Philippians 2:4

Congratulations, Zach! We're proud of your commitment to growth and grateful to have you as part of the team. Keep showing up, keep learning, and keep leading by example. 👊

Humility is one of the greatest gifts Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has to offer.

The mats don't care how strong you are, how important you think you are, how much money you make, or how many followers you have.

Every day, Jiu-Jitsu reminds us there is always more to learn. The humble student improves. The prideful student makes excuses.

At Leake BJJ, we believe true strength isn't found in always winning - it's found in being willing to learn, willing to fail, and willing to grow.

As Scripture says:
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." ~James 4:6

Come with an open mind.
Train hard.
Stay teachable.
Remain humble.

That's where growth begins.

👊 BUDDY MONTH IS HERE! 👊

Ever wanted to train jiu-jitsu with a friend?
Now's your chance.

For the entire month, every Leake BJJ student can bring a buddy to train FREE for 30 days!

Whether they're looking to:
✅ Get in shape
✅ Learn self-defense
✅ Build confidence
✅ Meet great people
✅ Try something completely new

This is the perfect opportunity to get them on the mats and see what jiu-jitsu is all about.
Who knows? The training partner you bring today might become your teammate for years to come.

Time is going to pass either way. Why not spend it learning something that could change your life?

Tag the friend you've been trying to convince to train. 👇

"Two are better than one... If either of them falls, one can help the other up." ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

A strong community changes everything.
When you're tired, someone pushes you. When you're discouraged, someone encourages you. When you succeed, someone celebrates with you.
Jiu-jitsu is an individual journey, but nobody reaches their potential alone.

We're proud of the community we've built at Leake BJJ - a room full of people committed to helping each other become stronger on and off the mats.

That's what family looks like.

⚠️ LEG LOCKS ARE COMING ⚠️

Think your guard passing is good?
Think your top game is safe?
Think again.

On June 18th at 7 PM, we're bringing in Christos Papadelos to break down one of the most dangerous and misunderstood areas of modern jiu-jitsu: leg locks.

Whether you're completely new to leg attacks or looking to sharpen your entries, control, defenses, and finishes, this seminar will give you practical tools you can immediately apply to your game.

The athletes who ignore leg locks eventually become victims of them. The athletes who study them become a problem for everyone else.

Private lessons are also available on Friday for $100. If you've been wanting one-on-one instruction to accelerate your game, now is your chance.

Don't be the person tapping to something you never took the time to learn.

See you on the mats. 👊🔥

Time is going to pass either way.

A year from now you can still be sitting on the sidelines wondering if you should try Jiu-Jitsu…
or you can be stronger, healthier, more confident, harder to break, and surrounded by people pushing you to become better.

You only get one life.
What the heck are you waiting for?
Come train.

Most women spend their whole lives being told to be smaller.

Be quieter.
Be careful.
Don’t take up too much space.
Don’t make people uncomfortable.

Jiu-jitsu changes that.

Every Thursday night, women walk into our gym nervous, unsure, and doubting themselves…
and slowly discover they are far more capable than they ever believed.

Confidence is not something you wake up with.
It’s built.
Through challenge.
Through discomfort.
Through proving to yourself - over and over - that you can do hard things.

Our Women’s BJJ Class is completely FREE because we believe every woman deserves the chance to discover that version of herself.

Come try one class.
You may walk in anxious…
but you’ll walk out stronger.

The bravest person in the room is usually the white belt.

The one choosing discomfort.
Choosing humility.
Choosing to fail publicly at something hard.

No glory.
No recognition.
Just the decision to keep coming back.

That kind of courage deserves respect.
