I feel like I've told the story a thousand times, and I will tell it a thousand more. Why build a Jiu-Jitsu gym in the City of Cibolo ?

Because my daughter Siri lived here from the time she was 2 years old. She went to Sipple Elementary, Schlather Intermediate, and Steele High School. She ate peanut butter and jelly pizza from Catalano's. She swung on the swings at Schlather Park. She ate ice cream at The Scoop.
Siri died by su***de 10 months ago today.

Last night, our city honored her memory and the memory of others, and took a stand that can be uncomfortable, and hard.
Last night, our city delivered proclamations that September 8th of 2026 would be honored in Siris name as Firearm Su***de Awareness Day.
They didn't just present us with a proclamation. The city council meeting invited Cibolo PD to share Project Child Safe information, and they made gun locks available at the meeting. They put her picture on a board with other community members who died by Su***de. They provided information on su***de prevention. Go by City hall, it's in the lobby.

Siri mattered to this community. Siri MATTERS to this community.

That's why Cibolo.

Labor Day, and the "labor" looks like drilling side control at 8am because the mats don't care what Monday it is.
Some of y'all are grilling. Some are at the lake. Some of us are still trying to figure out what to do with an unloaded truck of mats.... (Not me, yet 🤣)
Enjoy the day, however you're taking it.

There's a version of this story where we open a gym off 1604(we looked at space in the Forum) or over in Schertz proper (a big warehouse was on our list). Bigger addressable market. More foot traffic. Easier build. Every business person we've ever talked to had thoughts.
We didn't want that version.
Cibolo is where our kids go to school. Where I still serve on the SCUCISD health advisory council. Where Aaron and I have spent years driving to practices, rec games, orthodontists, and doctor's appointments in a 15-mile radius. This isn't a market to us. It's home.
When people ask why we chose Cibolo, we don't have a marketing answer. We have a life answer:
You don't open a jiu jitsu school in the town where you're raising your kids because it's the smartest move on a spreadsheet. You do it because those kids, and their friends, and their teachers, and the neighbor whose dog you feed when they're out of town, all deserve a place where they are invested in. Valued.
Doors open mid-November, but the community part started a decade ago.

POV: the GC said "we're on schedule" with a straight face.
We believe them. Mostly.

We could have sourced our merch for ANYWHERE and for WAY cheaper.
There are 4,000 companies from a Google search that will print you a shirt, embroider you a beanie, ship you a rash guard, or make you a candle. Cheap, fast, no relationship. Seriously, you should see the junk mail in my in-box.
Not the route we took.
Every single item in our shop came through someone we actually know:

👕 T-shirts — designed and sourced by Hey Mr. Bones, which is Dr. Debbie Jennings — a nurse I work on SO many projects with. Incredible clinician, and now an incredible designer. Of course she is. She's also a San Antonio Women's Hall of Famer!

🥋 Rash guards — , brought to us by Eduardo "Zero" , a good friend of ours and a BJJ rep for the brand. If Zero says it's the right build, it's the right build. Got my blue belt from his guy!

🕯️ Freshies — handcrafted in Cibolo by Yellow Rose Candle Co. Three scents, all local, all wonderful. I can't wait to take the women's group to do a candlemaking class IN HER CIBOLO STUDIO!!!

🧢 Beanies + Sweatshirts — every one embroidered locally by NB Signs & Design. The same crew we picked for our signage for my other local business. They are AMAZING, and I've been the school nurse for their kids. They've been tolerating my desing needs for 7 years and didn't flinch at "I NEED GOLD AND GREEK!"

Not one warehouse in Nevada.... not one anonymous drop-shipper. Every purchase supports us AND a specific person we picked to build this with.
Because if we're going to talk about community, we have to actually DO community. Our dollars, our contracts, and our first-name relationships make a difference to us and to you.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.
If you train jiu jitsu, this matters to you and to the people you train with.
First responders, military and veterans, and young people are three of the highest-risk demographics for su***de. They are also three of the biggest demographics in this sport.
That's not a coincidence, and it's not something to look away from.
I'm a Doctor of Nursing Practice and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I treat suicidal ideation professionally and I've lost my daughter to su***de personally. I know the data. I know the warning signs. I know how heavy the last few years have been on the people who serve, on the kids growing up in this era, on the veterans who came home carrying things nobody at home understood.
I also know what the mats do.
Jiu jitsu is not a cure for suicidal thoughts. Nothing on Instagram is. But the mats are one of the very few places I've watched consistently hold people through the dark stretches:
— Somewhere to go when going home feels worse
— Physical exhaustion that earns sleep
— People who notice when you're not there
— A body that learns, week over week, that it can still do hard things
— Two hours where the world shrinks to the person in front of you and neither of you owes anyone anything
If you're struggling right now — or you love someone who is — please reach out:
📞 988 — Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (call or text, 24/7)
🎖️ Veterans Crisis Line: dial 988, press 1
When we open in November, you have a place here. Come train.
You are not alone. Not in this room. Not in this sport. Not in this community.

Happy Meme Monday!

Charlie here, the ogre of a certified personal trainer with Agora. I just wanted to make sure I reminded everybody that jui jitsu is really a technique based sport, and size has very little to do with it. Here's a video proving as much.

The eternal debate. Gi or no-gi?
🅰️ Gi — grips, chokes, and someone's collar in my face
🅱️ No-gi — fast, sweaty, and somehow still ends in a collar-less choke

Drop your side in the comments. We won't judge. Much.
