AMERICAN NATIONAL CHAMPION 2026

Today, this title means far more than a medal.

The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult. I lost dear friends, faced moments of deep pain, and suffered another injury just before this competition. There were times when I wasn’t sure I would make it.

But God is good all the time. All honor and glory belong to Him.

I want to thank my wife for always standing by my side, my children, my family, and my students, who took care of the academy and gave me all the support I needed to be here and compete.

I truly feel blessed to have such amazing people by my side. This victory belongs to all of you as well.

All honor and glory to God. 🙏

Another packed night on the mats, full of energy, hard work, and learning!

In our team, Jiu-Jitsu is about much more than techniques and medals. We understand that no one grows alone. Every training session and every achievement happens because we have teammates beside us, helping each other improve.

That is what makes us different. We don’t just say we’re a family—we act like one. We support each other, grow together, and stay united on and off the mats.

In Jiu-Jitsu, we need one another.

We train as a family. We fight as a family. We win as a family. 🥋👊🏻🔥

Happy Father’s Day! ❤️

Today we celebrate all the amazing dads in our Carlson Gracie Vacaville family.

Whether you’re on the mats, supporting your child every step of the way, helping during classes, cheering from the sidelines, or encouraging them through every challenge, your impact matters.

Jiu-Jitsu is about more than learning techniques—it’s about building confidence, character, discipline, respect, and strong family bonds.

Thank you for leading by example, supporting your children, and inspiring the next generation both on and off the mats.

We wish all of our dads a wonderful Father’s Day!
