We couldn’t be more proud of Kauhani Harding for his promotion to Petty Officer Second Class AND to brown belt all in the same day.

Kauhani is a natural leader who has served his country in the Coast Guard for the past three years and before that, served in the Army. Kauhani is known for his strong leadership and professionalism and is moving to his next adventure in Florida.

Kauhani leaves an incredible impression on the people around him and has improved the lives of so many individuals in the gym. We will miss him so much but can’t wait for him to visit soon.

Thank you for your service, Kauhani. Your brown belt is well-deserved and we can’t be prouder to promote you.

We had an incredible opportunity to train with 3rd Degree Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Scott Scott Miller . Scott is the head coach and owner of Evergreen Jiu Jitsu in Colorado and trains UFC fighters (he’s super legit, no joke, we saw it for ourselves). We got the inside scoop on his high ground system and some great looks at wrestling. He is so fancy, he even has his own BJJ Fanatics tutorial! Thank you so much for your knowledge.

Win or lose, our team always stays true to the jiu jitsu spirit, and it was shown by competitors and spectators alike. We received many compliments on performances and athlete conduct this weekend; your representation of this academy is important to us, and we are thankful to have a great group! 

Each student has their own journey, and obstacles they must overcome in a tournament, and each person in this list had their own wins. Not all wins are displayed in the form of a gold medal. Some wins look like competing for the first time, going the entire distance in a match, attempting a difficult submission during competitive play, or sometimes just showing up and doing the work. Winning looks different for everyone, and that’s what makes this a magical sport.

The mount is the ultimate pinnacle of dominance. When you’re on top, you have gravity, leverage, and the most direct path to a finish—but staying there is an art form of its own.

In a self-defense situation, the mount is where you control the fight. The golden rule? Stay close. By keeping your chest heavy and minimizing the space between you and your opponent, you effectively "smother" their ability to generate power for punches. If they can't create a gap, they can't find the leverage to hurt you.

However, dominance requires constant vigilance. While you’re staying tight, you have to be ready for the "Upa" (the bridge and roll) or desperate attacks to the face. The secret to staying "sticky" on top is controlling their posture.

A misaligned spine is a weak spine. If you can use a cross-face to turn their head away from the direction they want to move, their body cannot follow, and their power to buck you off disappears.
Focus on your weight distribution, keep their spine out of alignment, and remember: patience is your best weapon in the mount.
