THE GIRLS GOT IT DONE!
Big Congratulations to and on their hard earned victories!

punched and kneed her way through three grueling rounds to earn the decision and take the strap!
took a few heavy and hard hooks to the head in the opening exchange that just seemed to motivate her. Moments later, she landed a beautiful low kick and then a vicious knee to the body for the TKO win in round 1!
Yesterday’s Championship rounds were TOUGH!
lost by decision in a back and forth match against a game opponent. Robert fought 4 times in 4 days. No easy feat.
In the Class B killers, lost a very close decision to a very good opponent in a very exciting fight.
It was battle of giants putting forth giant efforts.
Keep your head up and
A HUGE round of applause for everyone that stepped in the ring this week. Over the course of the last 9 weeks, you poured your blood, sweat, and tears into the pursuit of glory. Despite the outcome, you did what most people never will; face your fears and step in a ring.
Great job to the Team, the coaches, and everyone else who was involved in the TBA camp.
🙏
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR TBA’s!

It’s getting wild. 2024: Spy balloons over Utah, bridges getting taken out by boats, Taylor Swift releases a new album, we’re on the brink of WW3 - and the only thing crazier than all that is is now a purple belt.
Cliftons 5 year blue belt probationary status has come to an end. He’s now a purple belt on probation. Congratulations Alex!

One of the Dirty Dozen (1st 12 American BJJ Black Belts) stated it perfectly with the Golden Rule of Grappling. When it comes to FIGHTING with fists a flying and pavement under you, you want to be on top and stay on top. This statement does not exclude the Guard, but it places a hierarchy on being on top. In a fight if you have a choice, fight for the top. If you are on the bottom have a dangerous Guard that is difficult to pass.

Big Congratulations to on moving up in the world to Purple Belt!
Katie has been training with us and driving us crazy since 2018/2019. Her hard work consists of “boops”, “bops”, “beeps”, and the occasional “meow”. Her favorite techniques have names that even the 10P freaks could appreciate. Names such as “kitty paws”, “loop dee loop”, and the famous “walkie-walkie choke” are just a few examples of her killer arsenal.
CONGRATULATIONS KATIE!
