A little late, but too important not to share.
Great turn out for Josh's Joshua Tate last class...
Some people walk through the doors of an academy and become teammates. Others become part of the foundation. From day one, you've been the kind of person who makes a team stronger—not just through training, but through friendship, encouragement, and the way you show up for others. You've played a huge role in building the culture and community we value so much, and your impact reaches far beyond the mats.
Thank you for the countless rounds, conversations, laughs, and support over the years. You embodied what we want this academy to be—welcoming, humble, supportive, and committed to helping others grow. Your friendship has meant so much to so many here, especially me (Dave), and your presence on these mats will be deeply missed.
While we're excited for your next chapter, it's hard to imagine the academy without you.
Thank you for being such an important part of our journey and helping shape what this place has become. No matter where life takes you, you'll always have a home here. Once family, always family." 🥋❤️
