On Saturday, October 25 from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, we will be hosting a special Jiu-Jitsu Fundraiser in support of Wyatt and the Hutson family. This event is more than just training—it’s about coming together as a community to lift up one of our own. What’s Happening at the Fundraiser The seminar will be led by Coach Dave and will focus on leg locks and lower body submissions, offering both beginners and experienced athletes a chance to learn and sharpen their skills. But the day won’t end there. After the seminar, we’ll have food and refreshments, creating a time for everyone to gather, hang out, and show their support for Wyatt’s Brave Battle.

How You Can Contribute Seminar Donation: Minimum of $50 (all proceeds go directly to Wyatt’s Brave...

Parents, we know your kids don’t just “practice” jiu-jitsu. They tumble, wrestle, and turn the living room into a mini-dojo. That’s why we’re excited to bring in Elite Sports Kids’ BJJ gis, now available at our gym starting tomorrow September 10th! Why Elite Sports? Affordable: Kids’ gis start at $42.99—a budget-friendly option without skimping on quality.
