🥋 COMBATIVES BELT EARNED! 🥋

Huge congratulations to our buddy Matt on earning his Combatives Belt!

This one is a BIG deal. It represents a whole lot of time on the mats, hard work, focus, dedication, and showing up again and again ready to learn and get better.

Matt is the kind of guy you’re always happy to see walk through the door. He’s an excellent student, an awesome training partner, and just an all-around good dude. He trains hard, keeps things real, and makes the people around him better along the way.

We’re incredibly proud of you, Matt, and we’re so glad we get to be part of your journey. We can’t wait to see where you go from here!

Congratulations, brother. You earned this one. 👊🥋

Today we get to celebrate someone truly special. 💗

Congratulations to Sarah on earning her Pink Belt in our Women Empowered program!

A belt is never just about techniques—it's about the person you become along the way. Sarah shows up ready to learn, asks thoughtful questions, works hard, and makes everyone around her better. She's the kind of training partner who is always encouraging, always kind, and always willing to help someone else succeed.

She brings positivity to every class, treats everyone with respect, and reminds us what this community is all about. Watching her grow has been an absolute privilege, and we couldn't be more proud of everything she's accomplished.

Sarah, this belt is well earned. We can't wait to see where your journey takes you next. Congratulations—we're over the moon for you! 💕🥋

💗 Congratulations to Genevieve on earning her Pink Belt! 💗

Some promotions are special... and then there are promotions like this one.

Genevieve has been with us from the very beginning of our Women Empowered program. She believed in it, invested in it, and helped build the incredible community it has become. Week after week, she has shown up with humility, determination, kindness, and an unwavering desire to learn.

But what makes Genevieve truly exceptional isn't just her technique.

She celebrates every teammate's success. She shares her knowledge freely. She encourages new students, lifts others up, and helps create the welcoming, supportive environment that makes our gym feel like home. She has never been someone who keeps knowledge to herself—she genuinely wants everyone around her to succeed.

A pink belt represents far more than learning techniques. It reflects dedication, consistency, resilience, and a commitment to protecting both yourself and those around you. Genevieve embodies every one of those qualities.

We are beyond proud of everything you've accomplished, Genevieve, but even more proud of the person you are. Thank you for being such an important part of our gym family and for helping make our Women Empowered program what it is today.

This belt is so well deserved, and we can't wait to see where your journey takes you next.

Congratulations, Genevieve! 💗🥋

A huge congratulations to Oliver on earning another stripe on his white-yellow belt in our Gracie Bullyproof® Junior Grapplers class!

Oliver has been with us since the very beginning, and what a privilege it has been to watch him grow—not just as a jiu-jitsu student, but into the incredible young man he's becoming. 💙

As a member of our Black Belt Club, Oliver continues to show the skill, dedication, leadership, and character that make him one of our highest-level young students. He's really moving along, and we couldn't be prouder of how far he's come or more excited about where he's going.
