Fresh Brazilian Jiu - Jitsu

A huge THANK YOU to RJ for coming out and taking over our Wednesday class tonight! 👊🥋

It was truly an honor to have you on our mats sharing your knowledge, experience, and energy with the team.

Great class, great training, and even better vibes! 🔥

We appreciate you, RJ! You’re always welcome on the Fresh BJJ mats! 🙏

Jim,

It's hard to believe today is your last day with us. It's definitely bittersweet. While we're excited for you and this new chapter in the DC area, your presence on the mats is going to be missed more than you know.

You've been an outstanding student, teammate, and an even better friend. Without a doubt, you're one of the brown belts I fully expect to see earn a black belt. You've put in the time, the work, and you've always represented what Fresh BJJ is all about.

Now it's time to take that same attitude to the DC area. Go represent us well from afar and show them how we do things at Fresh BJJ. Keep training, keep growing, and keep making us proud.

Don't be a stranger. Stay in touch, send me videos of your training and competitions. I fully expect to see you before next year for your black belt test.

And who knows... maybe we'll end up on a TDY together before you retire... again! 😂

Safe travels, my friend. Thank you for everything you've brought to our academy. This will always be your home, and you'll always have a place on our mats.

See you soon, brother.

Amazing day for Fresh BJJ today. Today, 3 of our guys competed at NAGA, each earning a gold medal. You all put in the work and it showed today. Way to represent. Big thanks to all who came out to support!

Congratulations to our competitors:
Zane - 1 Gold, 1 Silver , 1 Bronze
Billy - Gold
Brian - Double Gold

Today was one of my favorite classes: street-applicable Jiu-Jitsu.

Instead of relying on a gi, we trained using T-shirts to create realistic grips, handles, and collars—learning how to control, off-balance, and apply techniques in situations that are much more likely to happen in the real world.

Training should prepare you for more than competition. It should prepare you for reality.

Putting in work on a Wednesday night.

Today is a bittersweet night as we say goodbye to one of our own.

Eddie, first, congratulations on an incredible career with the United States Coast Guard. Retiring as a Commander is an accomplishment very few ever achieve. Thank you for your leadership, your service, and your commitment to protecting our country. We are proud of you.

For the past several years, you've also been a huge part of our Fresh BJJ family. I've had the privilege of watching you grow—not just in your jiu-jitsu, but as a leader, training partner, and friend. From earning your brown belt to helping make everyone around you better, you've left a lasting mark on this academy.

Your consistency, humility, work ethic, and willingness to help others are qualities that can't be measured by stripes or belts. Those are the things people will remember long after you've moved away.

As you begin this next chapter in California, know that you'll always have a home here. You'll always be part of the Fresh BJJ family. We expect great things from you, and we have no doubt you'll continue your jiu-jitsu journey, represent our team with class, and make an impact wherever you train.

Thank you for the laughs, the hard rounds, the friendship, and the memories. We wish you and your family nothing but happiness, success, and good health in this new adventure.

Congratulations, Commander. Congratulations, Brown Belt.

Fair winds and following seas, my brother. We'll miss you, but this isn't goodbye—it's simply "see you on the mats."

What a day for Fresh Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! Our team showed up ready to compete, battle, and represent. Fresh BJJ earned 2nd place Team Overall. 24 match wins. 8 individual medals.

Congratulations to our competitors:

Nate – Gold
Sean - Silver
Zane - Triple Silver
Billy - Double Bronze
Kash – Gold
Ricky - Bronze

Every medal tells part of the story, but what I’m most proud of is the heart, resilience, and sportsmanship this team displayed all day. Whether you stood on the podium or not, every teammate helped earn that 2nd Place Team Trophy.

Thank you to our coaches, teammates, families, and everyone who came out to support us. We celebrate today... then it’s back to the academy to keep sharpening our skills. Iron sharpens iron. The journey continues. 💪🥋

Another awesome annual Fresh BJJ party is in the books! This year we took the battle to the paintball field, and it did not disappoint. Great competition, nonstop laughs, a few bruises, and a lot of memories made with an incredible group of people.

A huge shoutout to Ricky for putting this all together. We appreciate all the time and effort you put into making it happen. Looking forward to seeing what next year's adventure brings!

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it another unforgettable day. 👊
