Saturday was our latest opportunity to celebrate another foundational GJJA member and his significant advancement in the art. Chris Doheny has been a member of GJJA since we opened our doors. From day 1 Chris has modeled all that we strive for as practitioners: discipline, focus, curiosity and constant adaptation. He is a coach’s dream, self driven, while constantly lifting up everyone in our room every time he’s on the mat. As with all of our advanced belt promotions, it’s always so amazing to see how one persons achievement can positively affect our entire member base. Whether it be the daily grind of training after age 40, or testing himself in the fire of competition, if “Do the Work” was a person it would look a lot like Chris. Congratulations on becoming GJJA’s newest Brown Belt, wear that belt well and keep grinding Sir!!!!

From someone who knows athletic development…Grappling provides more than just the ability to fight. It allows an enormous opportunity to develop athletes into more adaptable performers in most traditional sports. We partner with schools and programs to supplement skill development in basketball, football, lacrosse and waterpolo just to name a few. The results speak for themselves. If you want your athletes to perform at the highest level, add GJJA to your training regime today!

This weekend we were all honored to share the mat with GJJA’s newest Brown Belt . Roberto is everything we strive to be at GJJA: Kind, Hilarious, Caring, Honest, Principled and Outstanding at Jiu Jitsu. He’s a friend, mentor and the opponent who holds you to the highest standards on the mat. He welcomes every roll and introduces anyone who ends up beneath him to what real pressure feels like. It’s been a quite a journey at GJJA over the last 9 years, what we do can’t be done without a member and teammate like Roberto by your side. Roberto, now is time to shift your focus onto the greatest belt to belt advancement in all of martial arts! Wear that Brown Belt, test it, push it, make it robust and keep going Sir! Congratulations Brother!!!! We could not be prouder or happier for your achievement!!!

2026 Spring In-House Tournament in pics. Generally our spring session tournaments tend to be on the smaller side. However, last week 34 competitors put on a show regardless. We crowned (technically belted) all new champions and were treated to an action packed, gritty afternoon of superb grappling. Congratulations to everyone who challenged themselves and grew regardless of whether the outcome was an L or W. We’re all super proud and grateful to have seen the show!!!

Member Spotlight!!!
Harry has been a mainstay at GJJA for the last 7 years. Starting out in our children’s program he took to grappling immediately. There’s something special about the kid who’s always there. Resilience is something our students constantly work towards, a rare few are born with it. Harry has one of the strongest mindsets I’ve ever experienced in a young man. He’s constantly learning, thinking and convincing himself and everyone around him that he’s undeniable. He flew through the children’s ranks and piled up a great deal of competition experience and hardware on his journey. He achieved the rank of Adult Blue Belt at age 16, because it was undeniable. Harry has been my right hand teaching children’s classes, being my go to Uke and private lesson assistant for years. He remains one of our adult class most respectfully avoided rolls, simply because he’s such a handful to deal with. As he transitioned into high school, to no one’s surprise, he joined the Rye Country Day Varsity Wrestling program. Where he continued to flourish, grow as an athlete and be named Team Captain both his Junior and Senior years. This fall Harry will be entering his Freshman year at the University of Chicago, easily one of the most difficult schools in the country to earn acceptance to. Where he will study philosophy, specifically ethics and the philosophy of religion. Known for promoting intellectual curiosity and rigorous academics, it should be a perfect fit! We are all so proud of what Harry has accomplished both on and off the mat and equally excited to see what the future holds. Im sure we won’t be surprised…keep going young man!!! And good luck this fall!!!

Big shout out to the Spring EMT class for pushing through a challenging but fun live training self defense and grappling seminar! So inspiring to watch these motivated young adults improve dramatically in just one session. Well done everyone and good luck on your certifications!!!!

Member Spotlight!
For the last 7 years Melanie has been a cornerstone of our program at Greenwich Jiu Jitsu. Her training began as a member of our children’s group in our first location. Her passion, discipline and focus were immediately apparent as she approached her development with a vigor, rare in most children. More often than not, Melanie would arrive at the Academy on foot after completing a half marathon before class. She flew through the children’s belt ranks while piling up experience competing and winning both in our Academy tournaments and multiple outside competitions. As her journey continued, she began developing her ability to guide and assist others as an Assistant Coach in our children’s program. At age 16 she was awarded her Adult Blue Belt, a significant achievement for any practitioner, let alone a busy high school student. Melanie continued serving our community, assisting in the Coaching of our women’s self defense course, GEMS self defense course and children’s Jiu Jitsu prep program.

When Melanie is not on the mats, she is also a EMT volunteer, a cross country runner and has a pending Guinness World Record holder for most 4 finger pull ups in one minute!! She is also the World’s #1 ice cream consumer and creator!

This summer Melanie is set to continue her journey, recently committing to NYU where she’ll study Biology, with the goal of becoming a pediatric surgeon and no doubt push her limits again to find success.

It’s been an honor to have been a part of her story and the entire GJJA community could not be more proud of Melanie or more excited to see what amazing feat she accomplishes next.
