There’s something special about Gi Nights. It’s more than just putting on a gi and stepping onto the mats it’s the time spent together, the lessons learned, the laughs shared, and the memories we create as a team. Some nights are filled with hard rounds and personal victories. Others are filled with conversations, encouragement, and simply enjoying the people who have become family. And as some of our teammates prepare to move on to their next chapter, we’re reminded just how special these moments are. Saying goodbye is never easy, but we’re grateful for every roll, every lesson, and every memory along the way. We don’t just train together. We grow together. We build each other up. And we become family.

Thank you for being part of the Dreadnought family. 🖤🥋

Hi, Lawton area Parents! 👋🏼

Summer is over and back to school season has begun. You’ve already spent time preparing everything that your child will need from pens, paper, notebooks, books, and clothes. 📝 🖍️ 📚
But here’s the question: “Is your child ready to face the challenges that come with going back to school?”. We’re talking about standing up to bullies, gaining self confidence, speaking up in class, social decision making skills and a whole lot more…. Brazilian JiuJitsu can definitely help your child deal with these challenges.

Let’s talk about the things that enrolling your child at Dreadnought BJJ Academy can do for your child to keep them ready for school.

Attending classes at DBJJ Academy can improve your child’s self defense skills so that they can defend themselves if needed. Our highly qualified coaches will teach your child techniques, which will help them lessen the chance of getting hurt when/if bullies attack. JiuJitsu is not always about fighting, JiuJitsu can teach your child to de-escalate situations and prevent escalation. Children learn that he or she will only have to defend himself/herself physically when the need arises, it is the last resort.

These self defense skills will be ingrained into your child’s life and can be used in the future. You’ll feel a lot better when you know that your children have the mindset needed to defend themselves and are learning this trait from the BEST JiuJitsu school in SW Oklahoma!!! 🏆🤩 Invest into your children’s future and safety just as much as their education. They will thank you for it!

We hope everyone had a wonderful first day of school! 🍎
