What if the world’s oldest systems of personal development held the answers to modern problems such as stress, distraction, and anxiety?

Our new 108 SERIES can help you grow beyond the techniques taught on the mat and into everyday life. Explore timeless practices to build better habits, sharpen your focus, and live with greater intention.

As with our 101 SERIES, you don't have to be a martial artist to benefit from these courses. Age-old principles can be adapted to modern life and applied by anyone, regardless of age, experience, or physical ability. No special equipment or fitness level is required.

Attend a single course that interests you or complete all eight sessions to build a well-rounded, attainable, and maintainable personal practice.

The courses are discounted when purchased in bundles and can be completed in-person or virtually. Click the link below to see the course descriptions and structure and reserve your session 🔗👇

A common question we get at the academy is how to keep your gi white without using bleach which can damage it. We’ve always recommended BizⓇ oxygen bleach which works great, but we were inspired to go one step further and add a natural deodorizer and water softener. These are often found in sports laundry boosters.

Three simple ingredients (BizⓇ, baking soda, and washing soda) work great together in this concentrated powder to bring your gi back to its original white while preserving its longevity.

Just two scoops of this laundry booster in the washer with your regular powder detergent will whiten, brighten, deodorize, and soften your gi. And because it’s chlorine-free, it’s safe for any embroidered or colored part of your white gi.

You can mix these three ingredients together at home for yourself and enjoy the benefits of extreme clean, or you can skip the work and pick up a package at the academy or in our online pro-shop for $20. Click the link below 🔗👇

The deeper lessons found on the mat have been refined and distilled into a practical handbook to help you use them in your everyday life.

In Light on the Gentle Art, Jason reflects on a lifetime of jiu-jitsu practice blended with the yoga of personal development, discipline, and self-study, offering insights that extend far beyond training.

We’re especially proud of this short video made by our son, Seth Hawkins, to help bring the spirit of the book to life. Light on the Gentle Art is available in hardcover and paperback on Amazon, as well as our online pro shop. 🔗👇🏻

Jiu-Jitsu can put your body in some weird positions. How often have you said "I should've warmed up first" after training? It's easy to overlook or not have the time or know-how to do it properly.

Instructor Dustin Lynn has developed some stretching strategies and mobility drills that are easy to incorporate into your routine. Join us for this 8-week workshop that will have you moving more freely, executing those difficult techniques, and staying off the injury list and on the mat for years to come!

The skills gained during this workshop apply to anyone wanting increased flexibility and mobility and no previous experience is needed to participate. Message us for more information or to sign up. Visitors are welcome. Hope to see you on the mat!
