Open Mat Sunday 🔥🥋

Champions aren’t made on competition day! They’re made during the countless hours of preparation when nobody is watching.

Today’s Open Mat was another reminder of what makes Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu special. From our youngest students to our adult competitors, everyone showed up ready to work, learn, and help each other grow. The mats were full of energy, determination, and the kind of teamwork that pushes everyone to the next level.

With the Fuji Pan-American Championship right around the corner this Saturday, our team is putting in the work. Every round, every drill, and every tough exchange is another step toward being prepared when it matters most.

A huge thank you to our coaches who continue to lead from the front! Sharing knowledge, guiding our athletes, and helping build confidence in every student who steps on the mat.

The medals are earned on competition day, but the foundation is built during sessions like these.

Let’s keep the momentum rolling all week. Stay focused, stay disciplined, and trust the process.

One team. One goal. One step closer.

See you on the mats.

SUMMER CAMP – DAY 4! ☀️🥋🎨🔬

Day 4 was another incredible day of learning, creativity, and teamwork at our Summer Camp!

From hands-on activities and creative projects to problem-solving challenges and making new friendships, our campers continue to show what can happen when kids step outside their comfort zones and embrace new experiences.

Every day is an opportunity to grow! Whether it’s learning a new skill, helping a teammate, building confidence, or simply having the courage to try something new. The energy, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes these campers bring each day make this camp truly special.

At Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu, we’re not just creating fun summer memories. We’re helping develop confident, respectful, and resilient young leaders who are learning that hard work, creativity, and teamwork can take them anywhere.

Day 4 is in the books, and we’re excited to see what tomorrow brings! 🎯📈❤️

☀️🎨🧪 Summer Clinical Camp Day 2 at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu! 🥋

Another incredible day of growth, learning, and fun at our Summer Camp!

Today, our campers challenged both their creativity and their minds through hands-on art projects and exciting STEM activities. Watching these kids think, create, problem-solve, and work together reminds us that success isn’t built in one area alone. It’s built through developing confidence, curiosity, and resilience in everything they do.

At Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu, we’re committed to helping our students grow on and off the mats. Whether they’re building a STEM project, creating artwork, learning self-defense, or encouraging a teammate, they’re developing skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

Every challenge is an opportunity to learn.
Every project is a chance to create.
Every day is a chance to grow.

We’re proud of the effort, teamwork, and positive attitudes these campers continue to bring each day. The future is bright when young minds are willing to learn, explore, and never stop improving.

Keep showing up. Keep creating. Keep growing. 💪☀️🎨🧪

☀️ DAY 1 IN THE BOOKS! ☀️

What an incredible start to our Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu Summer Camp!

Today was about so much more than just keeping kids active. We challenged them to think, work together, solve problems, build confidence, and step outside their comfort zones. From team-building activities and creative challenges to learning new skills on the mats, every child showed effort, determination, and a willingness to grow.

One of the greatest lessons we teach at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu is that success isn’t measured by being the strongest or the fastest. It’s measured by showing up, giving your best effort, and refusing to quit when things get difficult. Today our campers did exactly that.

Watching these kids encourage one another, work as a team, and have fun while learning valuable life skills is exactly why we do what we do.

This is only Day 1, and we’re just getting started. The friendships, memories, confidence, and lessons built this week will extend far beyond the mats.

Thank you to all of the families who trusted us with your children. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week has in store!

💪 Building confidence.
🤝 Building teamwork.
🥋 Building future leaders.

AVE MARIA JIU-JITSU | JUNE 2026 NEWSLETTER

As we head into an exciting summer, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible effort, dedication, and growth we’ve seen throughout our academy this month. Every class, every roll, and every challenge faced on the mats continues to make our team stronger.

A huge congratulations to our June Students of the Month, Adriel Villegas and Stanley Alvarez. Both students represent what Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu is all about! Hard work, respect, consistency, and a positive attitude. We are proud of the example they set for their teammates and cannot wait to see what they accomplish next.

We’re also looking forward to the upcoming FUJI Pan American Championship. To all of our competitors, remember that success isn’t measured only by medals. It’s measured by the courage to step onto the mats, test yourself, and continue growing through the process. Win or lose, we’re proud of every athlete representing our academy.

Summer Camp is officially underway, and the energy around the academy has been incredible. Watching our kids build confidence, friendships, and leadership skills while having fun reminds us why we love what we do. Thank you to all of the families who continue to trust us with your children’s development both on and off the mats.

As always, our mission remains the same: helping students become stronger, more confident, and more resilient through the practice of Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you’re training for competition, self-defense, fitness, or personal growth, remember that every day you step on the mats is another opportunity to improve.

Thank you to every student, parent, coach, and supporter who helps make Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu such a special community.

Train Together. Improve Together. Rise Together.

See you on the mats! 🐙🥋

OPEN MAT | AVE MARIA JIU-JITSU 👊🏽😎

Another Sunday. Another opportunity to sharpen our skills, test our limits, and grow together.

Today’s open mat was a reminder that progress isn’t built in comfort! It’s built through consistency, effort, and the willingness to show up when nobody is forcing you to. Every round rolled, every position fought for, and every lesson learned adds another brick to the foundation we’re building here at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu.

What makes this team special isn’t just the technique on the mats. It’s the culture. Kids, teens, adults, competitors, and hobbyists all pushing each other to become better versions of themselves. Iron sharpens iron, and every person in this room plays a role in helping someone else improve. 📈🎯

The medals, promotions, and accomplishments are great, but the real victory is showing up week after week, standing beside your teammates, and refusing to quit on yourself.

Proud of this crew and the work being put in every single day. The journey continues.

One team. One family. One goal: get better together.

Tuesday nights are built different. 🔥🥋

Professor Kenny led Tuesdays No-Gi session by applying the CLA (Constraints-Led Approach) method! Creating live problem-solving situations that forced the team to think, react, adapt, and evolve in real time. Instead of simply memorizing techniques, the room was focused on developing timing, awareness, movement, and decision-making under pressure.

That’s one of the biggest benefits of the CLA method:

✅ Builds real mat intelligence
✅ Improves reactions in live situations
✅ Encourages creativity and confidence
✅ Helps students truly understand positions instead of just copying moves

Every round pushed the team to grow mentally and physically. Iron sharpens iron, and the energy on these Tuesday nights keeps leveling up. Proud of everyone showing up, learning, and embracing the grind together. The future of Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu keeps getting stronger. 🐙🔥

Memorial Day Open Mat 🇺🇸🦅

Today we came together! Not just to train, but to honor.

Every round, every drop of sweat, every push past fatigue… it’s a reminder of the freedom we have to step on these mats and grow stronger together.

We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice!And we carry that spirit with us in how we train, how we support each other, and how we show up.

This isn’t just jiu-jitsu.

This is family. This is discipline. This is respect.

Proud of this team. Let’s keep building. 💪
