Memorial Day Shenanigans

​Next month, Joaquin is stepping onto the mats at JJWL Austin, and he’s leaving nothing to chance. Even though it's a holiday, we’re working.

​But nobody prepares for battle alone. Huge shoutout to the teammates sacrificing their own time to come in, log extra rounds, and make sure Joaquin is sharp. That’s true camaraderie and exactly what our culture is about.

​The work is being done in the dark. Time to shine under the lights soon. Let’s get it, Joaquin!

🥋 **BIG MOVE ON THE MAT!** 🥋
Huge congratulations to Dani on her promotion to **Rokyu** (yellow belt) in Judo! 🎉💛
This is a big milestone, but it’s just the first stepping stone on what we know will be a long, incredible journey. Turning that white belt yellow takes sweat, discipline, and a whole lot of heart—and Dani has shown all three.
The road to black belt is a marathon, not a sprint, and we couldn’t be prouder to watch her take this first major step.
Drop some love in the comments to congratulate Dani! 👇👇
