💦🦦 WATER SAFETY MATTERS — NOW MORE THAN EVER! 🦦💦

At Ave Maria Jiujitsu, we believe being strong means more than knowing how to defend yourself — it means knowing how to stay safe, look out for others, and protect our community. 💙

As members of the Rotary Club of Ave Maria, we’re proud to work alongside our community partners to help bring awareness to water safety and make sure families have the knowledge and resources they need to be safe in and around the water. 🌊🛟

We’d love to see our Ave Maria Jiujitsu family come out and support the Josh the Otter Water Safety Event! 🦦💦

📅 Saturday, September 26th
⏰ 11:00 AM–1:00 PM
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Open to ALL ages!
📍 Oil Well Craft B**r
🎟️ RSVP REQUIRED: [email protected]

It’s going to be an amazing, fun, family-friendly event while sharing a message that can truly save lives. ❤️

Come out, have some fun, meet Josh, and most importantly — learn how to be SAFE around water! 🛟🌊

💙 Water safety isn’t just important. It’s essential.

We hope to see you there! 🦦💦

🇺🇸 Labor Day Open Mat at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu! 🥋🔥

This crew chose to spend the holiday on the mats!Putting in hard rounds, sharpening their technique, and helping one another improve. It wasn’t the biggest group, but the energy, effort, and teamwork were strong!

A special shoutout to our team mates who are preparing to represent AMJ at the upcoming Fuji BJJ and UFC BJJ tournaments! Every round, every adjustment, and every tough moment is building the confidence they’ll carry into competition. 💪🏽🏆

We’re proud of everyone who showed up today and helped push our competitors. This is what a real team looks like: training together, growing together, and preparing each other for the next challenge!

Labor Day well spent! 🇺🇸🐙

🔥 LABOR DAY WEEKEND OPEN MAT 🔥

While most people were taking the weekend off, this crew came together and put in the work! Today’s mats were filled with tough rounds, great energy, and teammates pushing one another to improve. 💪🥋

A huge thank you to Carlos Castañeda , a high-level champion from Black Tie Jiu-Jitsu, for coming out, sharing the mats, and adding his experience and knowledge to today’s session. We truly appreciate him helping our team! Especially our ladies as they prepare for competition! 👊🔥

This is why cross-training is so valuable. Jiu-Jitsu becomes stronger when different teams come together, exchange knowledge, challenge one another, and help everyone grow. We may represent different academies, but the mutual respect and love for the art connect us all.

Every round, every challenge, and every uncomfortable position is preparing our competitors for battle. The work is being done, and we can’t wait to watch these ladies represent! 💪

Proud of every guy and girl who showed up this Labor Day weekend. No egos. Just hard work, respect, shared knowledge, and the goal of becoming better than we were yesterday.

The mats don’t lie! The work you put in today will show when it matters most! 🐙🇺🇸

🚨 IMPORTANT ACADEMY UPDATE 🚨

Due to our ongoing roof leak, all classes scheduled for this afternoon are canceled.

Unfortunately, a new leak developed in the same area during classes over the past two days. This morning, the ceiling tile became completely saturated and fell through. With everyone’s safety as our highest priority, we cannot safely hold classes while this issue continues.

A roofing expert will be on-site during today’s expected heavy rain to identify the exact source of the leak. Once it is found, repairs will continue throughout the weekend.

We are incredibly frustrated by this ongoing situation and kindly ask that you keep our academy in your prayers. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. We truly appreciate every member of our Jiu-Jitsu family. 🙏🩵

The academy will remain closed through the Labor Day holiday weekend. We plan to reopen on Tuesday, September 8th.

We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and wonderful long weekend. We’ll see you back on the mats Tuesday! 🥋💪

🥋🔥 Morning Gi training with a crew that came ready to work!

Today we focused on countering our opponent’s sprawl after shooting for the double leg. When the first attack gets stopped, the work doesn’t end! We adjust, keep moving, and stay on the hunt! 💪

From the counter, we hunted the back position or recovered to finish the double leg takedown. Jiu-Jitsu teaches us that there’s always another opportunity if we stay calm, committed, and relentless.

Awesome energy, hard work, and plenty of fun on the mats this morning. Proud of this crew for starting the day strong! 🐙⚔️

🔥 5AM NO-GI CREW! 🔥

While most people were still asleep, this squad was already on the mats! Learning, grinding, and getting better together! It’s never about how many people show up; it’s about the dedication and energy of those willing to do the work when nobody is watching. 💪

Every early alarm, every tough round, and every drop of sweat builds discipline that carries far beyond the mats.

Small crew. Strong mindset. Big progress. 🐙🥋

Proud of everyone who showed up and earned their morning at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu. Let’s keep building! 🚀

🥋 5AM GI CREW—UP EARLY AND PUTTING IN WORK! 🌅🔥

This morning’s training was all about building a complete game. From wrestling on the feet to controlling the action on the ground. We worked knee-on-belly pressure, attacked the cross choke, and drilled the proper escape when caught underneath.

Every position has an answer. Every difficult round is an opportunity to improve. While most of the world was still sleeping, this crew chose discipline, growth, and hard work. 💪

Small class. Big energy. Strong team. That’s how we start the day at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu! 🐙🇺🇸

🔥 STRONG & HUMBLE 🔥

What an amazing squad that showed up for today’s Sunday Open Mat! Everyone came ready to work! Pushing the pace, helping one another improve, and leaving their egos at the door.

Strength isn’t only measured by how hard you roll. It’s shown through discipline, respect, humility, and the willingness to keep learning. This crew brought all of that today! 💪🐙

Proud of everyone who stepped onto the mats, embraced the grind, and became a little better than they were yesterday. Keep showing up. Keep working. Stay strong. Stay humble. The progress will follow! 🥋🔥
