Rolling with Elgin’s own—Aubree • Blakelee • Easton

07/15/2026

🥋 More than teammates. More than siblings. More than a sport. ❤️

Jiu-Jitsu has given us so much more than medals and belts. It has given us confidence, friendships, and a place where we belong. 👫

What a great day on the mats! 🥋

🏆 Aubree: 1st Place Gi & 1st Place No-Gi
🥇 Blakelee: 1st Place Gi & 3rd Place No-Gi
🥈🥉 Easton: 2nd & 3rd Place

Tough day managing emotions but those are often the days we learn the most. We’re proud of all three for stepping on the mats, giving it their all, and continuing to grow. ❤️💪

If you can’t find Blakelee, just look upside down. 🤸‍♀️🥋

Blakelee’s always doing handstands on Doug between rounds, before class, after class… honestly, we’re starting to think she sees the world better that way. 😂

Never a dull moment with this kid at Grind! 🙃

Bring the chaos to the mats. 😎

🕔 Tiny Tots (Ages 3–6): 5:00 PM
🕠 Kids Nogi Class: 5:30 PM
🕡 Adults Nogi Class: 6:30 PM

Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee your child will stop doing headstands… but at least they’ll learn how to do them safely. 😂👊

Some days he’d rather be at home playing video games but he shows up to train anyway. That’s how discipline becomes character. 🔥

Meet Blakelee! 🥋🌼

Blakelee is 8 years old white belt and has been training for 15 months. She has an all-gas-no-brakes style. She might be sweet and smiley but she’s always ready to sneak in a rear naked choke. 💜

When she’s not on the mats, she loves picking flowers and coloring with chalk. Blakelee’s biggest competitor is herself—she’s always pushing to be better. 💪

🥋 Meet Easton 🥋

Easton is a 6 years old white belt that has been training Jiu Jitsu for 1 year and 5 months. He’s fueled by fruit snacks and determination.

When he’s not on the mats, you’ll find him watching , eating SpaghettiOs with meatballs or riding his motorcycle.

He’s always on the move and always ready to roll! 💪🔥

🥋 Meet Aubree 🥋

Aubree has been training jiu-jitsu for 1 year and 5 months and is currently a Grey & White Belt. Recently diagnosed on the autism spectrum, she approaches life and the mats in her own unique way.

She loves cats, horses, making people laugh, and keeping everyone on their toes with her many quirks. Don’t let her sweet personality fool you—when it’s time to compete, arm bars are her specialty!

We’re excited to share her journey, growth, and accomplishments both on and off the mats. 🧩
