Acima Jiu Jitsu Checkmat Riverside

First class nerves are normal. Welcome to Acima Jiu Jitsu. Train hard. Stay humble. Grow together 💯

At Acima Jiu Jitsu, class etiquette matters because it creates a safe, respectful, and disciplined environment where everyone can learn and grow together. Respecting coaches and teammates, keeping a positive attitude, and following academy rules helps build trust on the mats, prevents injuries, and strengthens our team culture. Great technique is important, but strong character is what truly defines a martial artist.

Congratulations, Hawkins, on achieving your brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! 🟫

This accomplishment is about far more than technique it reflects the kind of person you are on and off the mats. Your humility, willingness to learn, and constant support for others have made a lasting impact on everyone around you. No matter the wins and losses , you always show up ready to help teammates, encourage newer students, and lead by example.

Big congratulations to “Big Chief”on earning his purple belt! Such an awesome moment celebrating this milestone with the team today. 🟪⬛️⬛️🟪🟪🟪🟪 👏🏽💪🏽🥷
Gi…No Gi… Don’t matter… Just Train!

Today was a big day for the team . We had 4 students step on the mats and represent. 3 brought home gold, and 1 came up just short of the podium.

I’m proud of every single one of them. Competition isn’t just about medals, it’s about showing up, testing yourself, and growing through the experience. That’s exactly what they did.

All the hard work, discipline, and time on the mats is paying off. Back to work on Monday 👊
