🌞 The Ridge Summer Camp Registration is OPEN! 🌞

The Ridge Summer Camp is here — and it’s more than just a camp.

At The Ridge, we use Jiu Jitsu to build:
💫🔥 Confidence
📘⏳ Discipline
🥷⚒️ Grit
🤝🫡 Respect
🧘‍♂️🫁 Emotional control
🦅🧭 Leadership

Kids don’t just learn moves.They learn how to handle life 🧬. Every day, we coach them through challenges that grow their character📈:

“I can’t do this” becomes “Watch me.”
“This is hard” becomes “I’ll try again.”
“I’m nervous” becomes “I’m ready.”

We mix BJJ with games ⚽️, crafts 🎨, nature time🌿, and team challenges — but the heart ❤️ of this camp is helping kids become the strongest 💪🏻 version of themselves.

📅 July 6–10 • 9 AM–1 PM • Ages 6–11

💛 Early Bird Pricing (June 1–21): $100
💙 Late Registration (June 22–July 3): $150

Kids class tonight looked like an Amazonian takeover.

Six girls. Two boys.

The ratio was so lopsided the mats started whispering, “Is this… is this a coup?”
The girls walked in like: “Hi! We’re here to overthrow the patriarchy and also practice our breakfalls.”
The boys walked in like: “…should we stretch extra today?”
By the end, the girls were running the place like a tiny, glitter‑covered fight club. Empowering doesn’t even cover it — it was feral Disney princess energy.

Then adult class said “hold my water bottle” because Professor Scott materialized like a Final Boss NPC.
One second we’re drilling normally, the next second he’s behind you adjusting your elbow angle by 3 degrees and suddenly your entire understanding of jiu‑jitsu collapses like a folding chair at a family reunion.

Everyone left with new skills and mild identity confusion.
Another chaotic, empowering, Ridge‑flavored night on the mats.
Girls dominated. Adults leveled up.
And somewhere in the distance, a lone boy from kids class whispered, “I did not sign up for this smoke.”

Great classes and good times at The Ridge BJJ !

🇺🇸 The Ridge BJJ 's 1st ever BJJ inspired Mat Murph — From the heart. 🇺🇸

Some days on the mat are about technique.

Some are about growth.

Today was about honor.

The Murph Challenge has always stood for something bigger than a workout — it’s a way to carry, even for a moment, the weight that others carried for us. A way to say we remember through sweat, effort, and choosing the harder path on purpose. Our Ridge Mat Murph took that spirit and brought it to the mats.

It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t meant to be.
Round after round of movement that burned, pushed, humbled, and demanded heart.
And every person who stepped onto that mat answered that demand with everything they had.

As a coach, watching y'all dig deep today — watching you choose discomfort, choose effort, choose purpose — it hit me in a way I won’t forget. You honored the fallen with your work. You honored each other with your presence. You honored this community with your grit.I’m proud of you. Truly.

Today wasn’t just a workout.

It was remembrance in motion.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day at The Ridge

No regular classes on Monday — but we are throwing down our own Mat Murph Challenge.

We’ll honor the day the Ridge way: with sweat, grit, and a BJJ‑flavored version of the classic Murph. All ages and experience levels welcome. Come ready to move, breathe, and push yourself.

Mat Murph Start Time: 9:00 AM

What to expect: hip escapes, technical lifts, grip work, and a whole lot of heart.

If you’ve never done a Murph before, don’t worry—we’ll have scaled options so everyone can participate.

Let’s show up, work hard, and honor those who served.

The Ridge is built on kindness, courage, and community—and if you’ve felt that in your time with us, we’d be grateful if you shared it.

Your review helps other families and future teammates feel confident stepping onto the mats for the first time.You can leave a review on Facebook, Google, or Yelp—whichever is easiest.

Thank you for helping us grow a place where kids and adults can become stronger, better humans.

I train a lot, not because I’m trying to prove anything, but because this is where I feel steady.

The world gets loud. Life gets heavy.

But the second my feet hit the mats, everything lines up.

Strength, peace, and self‑protection all in one place.

🔥 PACKED CLASS ENERGY REPORT 🔥

Short version: Y’all trained so hard today we basically created our own micro‑climate 🌡️🔥

Long version (aka the truth):
The kids class came in bouncing off the walls like caffeinated kangaroos 🦘⚡️, the adults rolled like they were fighting for the last parking spot 🛒💥 at Wal-Mart, and together we raised the gym temperature by a full 8 degrees 🌡️⬆️.

Scientists call it “heat transfer” 🧪🔥.
We call it Monday at The Ridge 💪😎.

Proud of everyone who showed up and turned the gym into a convection oven of jiu-jitsu 🤙🏻 joy 😊.

🚨 Alright Ridge Crew, listen up 🚨

One of y’all dropped something VERY valuable in the parking lot yesterday.
And no, I’m not telling you what it is.

If it’s yours, describe it so I can hand it back to the rightful, slightly forgetful owner.

Until then, it stays in the Professor Kathy Lost & Found Vault™ (aka my house).

Stay sharp out there, team. The mats aren’t the only place you need awareness.

We’re not saying we’re dangerous… but the floor tapped out twice! 💪🏻😎🤙🏻
