Congratulations TEAM, on winning another Combat CRNR team title. Fortunately, we have won quite few over the years. This one was special because the last Combat CRNR was 2019 (before Covid). The 2019 and 2026 teams are a lot different. We still have so many vets, and OGs, but we have newer and hungry faces as well. It makes me proud to know that while the 2019 and 2026 teams are so different, it shows there is a proven system and proven formula. When the dust settles, no pounding our chest and no running around like a mad man. Instead, show some grace, and act like you’ve been there before. I am very proud of our team for carrying on a successful 17 years body of work, and proud tradition. Thank you to our home base, and the entire Wi360JJ network. Appreciate all the real ones and everyone for all of your support 🙏 We may not win every future team title, but when we decide to show up good things happen. 🥋 🙇‍♂️
PS: Parents and competitors, please send your podium and or podium pics for a follow on post. You can DM or send to [email protected].

This past week started with a trip to LA to see my friends and long time students Andrew and Jess. They opened .academy.bjj 1 year ago, and built an amazing community. It was an honor and a privilege to teach and spend time with everyone. After I promoted Andrew to 1st degree 🥋, he promoted Jess to blue belt 💙 Congratulations, again!
I look forward to watching the gym grow!
The next day was off to Vegas to coach at Master Worlds. Jiu-Jitsu Con and Master World is such an amazing event! We are so proud of everyone who competed. You all showed your heart, your grit, and your skill out there. Everyone got better for giving yourselves the opportunity!
It’s hard to put the highs, lows, and everything in between with these competitions into a post. It goes beyond that. It’s about being there together, and supporting each other through it all. There were so many great memories, and ton of laughs along the way. At the end of the day, the experience is priceless!
Proud of our team (BRASA CTA).
Bill (Green Bay) 🥇
Scott (Silverback/360) 🥈 🥉

Congratulations to all of competitors who put it in the line this weekend at the IBJJF Chicago Open. All of you are better for it! This how you grow, you learn, and you evolve both as a competitor and practitioner. This is how you take your JJ to the next level. I know some of you conquered your goals, and some came up a bit short. It’s all part of the process. It was great seeing everyone hanging out, and supporting each other. Lots a laughs, and great memories as always!
Wi360JJ/Brasa CTA brought the heat 🔥
🥇- 6
🥈- 6
🥉- 4
The margin between a couple of those silvers being gold, and at least one of those bronze being silver is microscopic 👀 Now we can dial it in 💪

⚡ A DEFINING MOMENT FOR KAIZEN ACADEMY ⚡

Some events are more than seminars.
They become part of an academy’s history.

On September 2nd, Kaizen Academy proudly welcomes Professor Scott Huston—Founder of 360 JiuJitsu , Black Belt World Champion, and head of our affiliation—for our first-ever seminar. 🥋🏆

Professor Scott will share the same SLX & X-Guard systems that have produced World & Pan Championship success for him and his students over the years.

This is not just another class.
It is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the highest-level minds in Jiu-Jitsu and bring championship-tested details into your own game. 🔥

But the significance of this day goes even deeper.

Professor Scott will officially award Andrew Menard his First Degree Black Belt—a full-circle moment representing over 10 years of dedication, vision, and commitment to building Kaizen Academy and this community.

One seminar.
One promotion.
One unforgettable milestone.

⚠️ Space is extremely limited, and this event is expected to sell out quickly.

If you want to be part of Kaizen Academy history, now is the time to secure your spot.

Had a great time visiting Green Bay Jiu Jitsu last weekend! Rob Schuster and Andy Kazik have built something special! Green Bay was my first affiliate going back to 2010. We have been working together and accomplished so much together over the past 16 years! I am so proud to promote you both to 3rd degree 🥋 🙇‍♂️ Well deserved is an understatement, OSS!

Late post here. However, we wanted to take a second to recognize our competitors who competed at Grappling Industries a couple weeks ago. We did not have anywhere close to all of our youth competitors, but still managed to bring home the 2nd place trophy 🏆 The adult competition for the tournament was light in general. We had multiple adult competitors with no one in their divisions. That left our sole adult competitor, Q! As a white belt, he entered the NoGi intermediate division, and brought home 🥉 As always, very proud of the JJ, the intensity, and class brought by our team each time we step out on the mats.
Also … BIG S/O to Caleb and Ari Mansalis. They both competed at Kids American Nationals in Las Vegas last weekend! GREAT job, boys! 👏 Some wins, some losses, and ton of knowledge and experience gained. It’s my goal to make sure you both accomplish your goal next year! I am very proud of you both.🫡 🙇‍♂️
