A great performance from one of our day 1 competitors ._s winning

After coming up short a few times he buckled down and put in the work, proving it’s not just the skills but the effort behind them to give you the confidence to compete at your best!

Check the comfortability in leg entanglements, the switching of legs, and swapping inside/outside attacks as well as heel hook and straight ankle locks. Great work not so little Michael!

2025 HOLIDAY SEASON SCHEDULE 🎄🤘🏼

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

I just wanted to give a special shout out to Kelly Kidd—a member with us since May 2023. Kelly started training BJJ after being inspired by watching his sons fall in love with the sport and experience growth on and off the mats.

Kelly now inspires others to keep pushing themselves towards daily improvement. Since starting BJJ, he has lost +110lbs (the scale was broken when we started and he continues to lose more everyday) and recently competed for the very first time and secured his first victory at the 2025 World Master Championship.

Thank you Kelly for not only your commitment to yourself but for inspiring so many others to push themselves to new limits.

There is no ceiling. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Learning to find comfort within discomfort.

In a world full of comfort, with Uber, Amazon, and Skip to your front door, some find it uncomfortable just to answer a phone call or hold a conversation with a stranger.

This is one of the best lessons we learn from Jiu-Jitsu; wether you’re getting smashed by the ultra-heavy weight in side control, battling for an angle, surviving a submission, or even just stepping onto the mats for the first time, we all must find comfort within discomfort. Become uncommon amongst the uncommon.

🎉 TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY POST 🎊

We blinked and suddenly our doors have been open for 2 years! They say time flies when you are having fun.

When we were in the planning phases of opening our school and were imagining the culture and tone that we wanted to set for our gym, it was based on having fun. Enjoying your time on the mats is one of the most important keys to improving your game and becoming successful. We love the camaraderie forged between our students, their support for each other is inspiring and for us really affirms that we are on the right track.

This past year we have continued our regional success and have gained international success and recognition. Having random people tell us they love seeing our team at major events and are impressing the fans and officials while we are traveling to different provinces and states, is such a cool and shocking compliment.

Our Juniors programs have become incredibly successful — the kids’ commitment to their training and skill development has been inspiring. After the second year, we are now splitting into 3 individual Junior programs tailoring to their specific needs and continuing their progression.

A massive thank you goes out to all of our supporters, friends, students, parents and family that help make all of this not only possible but an absolute pleasure to share this experience together.

To many more celebrations with our Black Gold fam, let’s get it in Year 3 😎✌🏼☝🏼

📆New year, new program, new schedule!

As we reach our second year anniversary, we are excited to announce some new developments within our Juniors program with the addition of a Juniors 3 (Teens) class. The kids programs have grown a ton and the new teens program will work to accommodate these older students, propel them to the next level, and will allow a chance to bridge the gap between the Juniors and Adult program by learning more advanced techniques and preparing them to compete in juvenile competitions.

We have also added “competition” classes for the kids on Saturdays which will offer them more high paced training while focusing on competition strategy and their own unique skill set.

We look forward to another successful year with our amazing team. New schedule start November 4th, 2024!
