Gastank MMA

Another successful tourney yesterday. Both the kiddos coming back home with gold and more. Peyton had 12 matches for the day, most of them were in the elite brackets. That puts his jiujitsu career at 84 wins. John had to go up a weight class and still choked one of his opponents to sleep. He also jumped in the elite bracket for the first time, that takes a lot of guts to do when it’s only your second tournament. Proud of these two little savages and impressed even more. Blessed to have hard working kids like these two at the gym! Catch them on the mats.

We have Peyton and lil John competing at the Cincinnati FUJI tomorrow morning. They are both coming off gold winning tourneys from just a couple weeks ago, they are looking to repeat same result. Excited for them to showcase their skill sets.

With that going on, there will be no kid or adult classes Saturday morning. We will be back at the gym Sunday at 6pm for MMA class. Catch you all on the mats!

A great tourney for Gastank MMA today! We had 3 compete, bringing back 6 gold medals and 2 silvers.

Peyton doing Peyton things and bounced around a lot of brackets. He earned 4 gold and 1 silver. The only lost he had came from going up a belt level.

It was John’s first tourney and he rolled like it’s his 100th tourney. He got gold in his original bracket but then had the courage to go up a bracket and got a silver. That takes a lot of bravery for a kid to do their first tourney.

It was also Mads first tourney and she absolutely smashed. She earned gold in her original bracket beating someone 10 years older than her. She wanted to bounce around brackets but there were none available. But that goes to show how brave she is too.

So proud of you 3 and everyone else who represents Gastank MMA. I’m blessed to have such hard working savages compete under the Gastank banner. You know we stay busy, so be ready to tune in for the next tourney coming soon. Until then, catch these savages on the mats!

Today we did a seminar for two families that are homeschooled. Was a great time and they all did so well. We got to go over a lot of techniques and play some martial arts games too. If you and your family have ever thought about joining the gym, but just a little nervous, try our family private session first to get that nervousness out.

Thank you Tiffany Orrill and the kiddos for helping out and sharing your knowledge with the kids. So blessed to have your family at Gastank MMA! Catch you all on the mats.

Big congrats to our littles, Beth and Myla, for earning their second stripe on their belt. So proud of these two lil savages. They have lead the 3-4 years old class since I started it. They have shown so much improvement. They make Saturday classes the cutest class of the week, for sure. Keep it up littles!

Really appreciate Mathew and all the other older kids who help with the littles Saturday mornings. This sport isn’t just about receiving the knowledge, it’s also about passing the knowledge down to the next generations. Proud of all you kiddos, so blessed to be apart of your alls journey. Catch these kiddos on the mats!
