This is how we train at Deep Water.

🌊 Deep Water Academy Student Spotlight: TANYA (T)!

Meet T, one of the awesome humans who make our mats such a fun place to train. We asked her a few rapid-fire questions — here’s what she had to say:



🐙If your Muay-Thai style were a sea creature, which would it be and why?

T: It would be something like a newly hatched sea turtle. 🐢 I’m new to the sport and basically, I’m just trying to survive on my way to the water.

🐙One thing you love about training at Deep Water Academy?

T: Everyone is so patient and encouraging. They meet me at my level and don’t try to prove how much better they are than me. It feels like I can train safely. And learn without feeling stupid for what I don’t know. That’s more than one thing so I’ll pretend the question was name something and that’s my answer.

🐙Gloves or mitts - choose wisely (and explain)

T: Gloves for sure. Cause if I’m not the one wearing mitts and I'm wearing gloves; I’m not the one getting hit in the head for not having the mitts in the right place.

Small upgrades. Big difference.

We just added hand wrap winders at Deep Water Academy to make your training smoother, faster, and a little less chaotic. No more fighting your wraps after class—save that energy for the mats.

Train hard. Recover smart. See you on the mat.

Blue Belt Earned. 💙

Today we celebrate a milestone that wasn’t faked, rushed, or bought.

This blue belt represents countless rounds, late nights, tough losses, small wins, and the decision to keep showing up when it would’ve been easier not to. It’s proof of growth—not just in skill, but in discipline, humility, and resilience.

We’re proud of you. You’ve earned every inch of that belt.

And for everyone watching—this is what’s possible. You don’t need to be talented to start, most of us weren’t. You just need to step on the mat and stay consistent.

Your journey is waiting.

Gather ‘round, grapplers — it’s time for another Student Spotlight, where we introduce you to the people responsible for all the mysterious bruises. We asked Luis those hard hitting questions that you’ve come to expect:



🐙What’s something jiu-jitsu has taught you outside the gym?



Jiu-jitsu has reinforced my belief that resilience is essential in life. It has helped me build discipline, humility, and problem-solving skills. It’s not just about getting stronger physically–it’s also about sharpening your focus and mindset. When I say jiu-jitsu, I mean this academy–Deep Water–and this amazing, caring team.



🐙Move you always hope your partner doesn’t do to you?



As for moves I hope my partner doesn’t do… honestly, none. I’m open to experiencing any technique because every roll is a chance to learn. Jiu-jitsu is a constant learning journey. In training, you can always reset, tap, and start again–that’s how we keep improving.



🐙What food would instantly distract you mid-roll?



Food that would instantly distract me mid-roll? Peruvian ceviche! If someone put a plate in front of me–fresh seafood marinated in lime juice with thin slices of red onion, spicy “ají limo,” and crunchy “canchita” corn–I might have to pause rolling for a moment!
