Yesterday in comp class, we put everyone through 1-minute situational rounds in front of the entire team.

Why?

Because competition isn’t just about technique, it’s about performing when all eyes are on you. The pressure, nerves and the feeling that every second matters. Those are things you can’t fully recreate with normal training rounds.

By putting athletes in specific situations and making them battle it out in front of their teammates, we create a small taste of what it feels like to compete. Learning to stay calm, trust your training, and execute under pressure is a skill just like any other.

We’re proud of everyone for stepping up and embracing the challenge. That’s how confidence is built, one uncomfortable round at a time ⚔️

A good guard does more than keep you safe, it gives you control.

Too often people think of guard as a defensive position, but the best guards are constantly creating problems for their opponent. Breaking posture, controlling distance, off-balancing, and forcing reactions.

When you can control your opponent, you dictate the pace. And when you dictate the pace, the submissions start to appear 🧠

Another awesome team potluck in the books! 🍽️🤙

A huge mahalo to the Hughes family for opening up their home and hosting everyone. Your generosity and hospitality made for a great evening filled with good food, laughter, and even better company.

The kids had an absolute blast too! From running around with their teammates to spending hours in the bounce house, then of course getting a couple rounds in on the inflatable mat 😂. Seeing our students build friendships off the mats is just as rewarding as watching them grow on them.

We’re blessed to be surrounded by such supportive students and families. The culture of our academy is built by all of you, and we couldn’t be more grateful 🙏

Our Keiki (children’s) BJJ program introduces little ones to the foundations of Jiu Jitsu in a fun, safe, and positive environment. Classes focus on movement, balance, coordination, and teamwork — all while teaching respect, discipline, and confidence. Through age-appropriate drills, kids build focus, learn to listen, and develop a love for learning on and off the mats.

Here’s a small portion of some closed guard attacks we were working on last week. In this clip, I show a small detail I learned from our good friend Professor that makes a huge difference! The rest of the lesson is posted 🤙

We’re excited to officially introduce Coach John to the Core family! 🙌

Starting this Friday, Coach John will be leading our Juniors and Adult Fundamentals classes, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him share his knowledge with our students!

From day one, it was clear that John aligns with everything we believe in—serving others, building strong fundamentals, leading with humility, creating a positive culture, and helping every student grow both on and off the mats.

For us, it’s never just about good jiu jitsu. It’s about good people, strong values, and building an academy culture that feels like family. Coach John embodies that, and we know our students are going to love learning from him.

Be sure to give Coach John a warm Core welcome this today! 🤙

Special thanks to for the amazing mobility seminar today! He gave us a clear cut warm up and stretching plan for jiu jitsu athletes and we can’t wait to implement this in our daily routine so we can stay on the mats not just for a few years, but for life.

If you’re a jiu jitsu athlete suffering with pain or just an everyday person with back or neck problems from sitting at a desk all day, I’d recommend you hit this man up and get it taken care of 💪
