I Was invited to Renzo Gracie’s 30th Anniversary of his academy in the USA. They invited his first 50 students. There was a dinner and then we went to the academy for promotions. I received my 5th degree on my Black belt. Proud to say I have received every promotion from Renzo.

Thanks to Renzo for all he has given us. In the room there were owners of over 30 academies. That isn’t counting the multiple locations many have. He has effected thousand of lives thru his academies and thru ours. Very fortunate to be part of his rich tradition in the BJJ world.

The difference between good striking and great striking often comes down to the details. Small adjustments in footwork, balance, timing, defense, and technique can make a huge difference when it’s time to perform 👊

That’s why we put so much emphasis on drilling and refining the fundamentals. Repeating a technique the right way builds habits that hold up under pressure. Perfect practice makes perfect — and every rep is an opportunity to sharpen your skills and improve your craft 💪🧠

At Ground Control, we’re always chasing improvement, one detail at a time 🔥

Kickboxing at Ground Control is all about timing, repetition, and sharpening real technique 👊

Combination drilling is one of the best ways to build rhythm, accuracy, defense, and fluid movement 💨💪 Repping techniques back and forth helps students develop clean striking habits and sharper reactions over time. It’s the kind of focused work that turns fundamentals into effective skills.

From beginners to experienced athletes, everyone develops through focused drilling, strong coaching, and putting the work in round after round 🔁🔥
