Route 66 Jiu Jitsu We're not just another gym or sport, we are family with shared values. Let the good times roll! :)

Grit is not something you’re born with, it is forged through trials. Every setback, disappointment, obstacle, and hardship gives us a choice: quit or keep moving forward. Those who consistently choose to press on, even when it’s uncomfortable, develop the resilience and determination that define true grit.

Comfort rarely builds character. Adversity tests our commitment, reveals our weaknesses, and forces us to grow beyond what we thought possible. The people who accomplish great things are often not the most talented; they are the ones who endured the most challenges and refused to give up. Grit comes from trials, and trials shape the strength needed to succeed in every area of life.

This is what makes amazing human beings, not a life free from struggle, but the courage to face it head-on. The strongest, most capable, and most inspiring people are often those who have been tested the most and chose to keep moving forward anyway.

Confidence doesn’t come from comfort, praise, or avoiding failure. True confidence is built by repeatedly placing yourself in positions of discomfort and adversity, facing challenges head-on, and discovering that you can endure more than you thought possible.

Every difficult round, hard workout, setback, and obstacle is an opportunity to grow. When you learn to stay calm under pressure and keep moving forward when things get tough, confidence stops being something you hope to have and becomes something you’ve earned. Comfort creates complacency. Adversity creates confidence.

Four members of the Route 66 Jiu Jitsu Ghost Riders Adult Competition Team are currently ranked in the Top 10 of their respective AZBJJL Blue Belt Master divisions:

🥇 Charles Bain, 1st Place GI Master 3
🥈 Jeremy Peasley, 2nd Place GI Master 2
🥉 Frank Chhum, 3rd Place GI Master 4
🏅 John Peasley, 7th Place GI Master 3

No-Gi Rankings:

🥇 Jeremy Peasley, 1st Place NoGi Master 2
🥈 John Peasley, 2nd Place NoGi Master 3
🥉 Charles Bain, 3rd Place NoGi Master 2

To some, these may just be rankings. To us, they represent commitment, sacrifice, discipline, and hard work.

Route 66 Jiu Jitsu is a small-town academy in Williams, Arizona. We have just 54 total students, only 16 of whom are adults, in a community of approximately 3,200 people. Yet here we are, competing with and standing alongside some of the largest academies in Arizona.

That is something special.

I couldn’t be more proud of these men and every member of our little academy. They show up, they support one another, and they continue proving that heart, consistency, and community can compete with anyone.

Small town. Big fight. Real results.

Sometimes people will try to distract you from your goals because your discipline reminds them of the choices they aren’t making. Your commitment shines a light on their excuses, and it’s easier for them to pull you off course than to raise their own standards. Stay focused. You don’t need their approval, only the determination to become the person you’re capable of becoming.

It’s just one drink, it’s just one class, it’s just one day, it’s just one weekend, it’s just one more drink, it’s just, it’s just, it’s just…. See the problem. It’s the athlete aspiring to be the best version of themselves who makes the compromises.

There are two worlds. The one this broken society wants you be in and the one champions live in.

Route 66 Jiu Jitsu is an ESA / Homeschool Approved Facility

What does that mean for your family?

It means no out-of-pocket tuition for approved families.

We accept ESA / ClassWallet debit cards, or we can bill ClassWallet directly on your behalf. Simple. Clean. No stress.

Your child can train in a structured, disciplined environment that builds:
• Focus
• Self-control
• Confidence
• Physical fitness
• Real self-defense skills

And it’s covered through your ESA funds.

Thinking about homeschooling but not sure where to start? We can help with that too.

We’ve been a homeschool family since 2005. We understand the questions, the paperwork, the structure, and the freedom that comes with choosing this path. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re considering homeschooling or already are we’re here to support you both on and off the mats.

At Route 66 Jiu Jitsu, we celebrate every victory, even the ones that may seem small to others. The first class, the first stripe, the first time you overcome fear, show resilience, or refuse to quit… those moments matter too.

Success isn’t built in giant leaps. It’s built one small victory at a time, and we’re proud to be part of every step of the journey.
