  • Training Jiu-Jitsu As You Age? Heres 5 Lifestyle Tips Tips To Stay Rolling Longer

    Training Jiu-Jitsu As You Age? Heres 5 Lifestyle Tips Tips To Stay Rolling Longer

    If you’re like me…..the thought of a packed gym is repulsive. An entire floor of people who are more-so there to either find a future spouse…..or get a break from their current one. 🤣 The “gym” is one of the main reasons I started training Jiu-Jitsu. Ok…that’s not completely true. I got WRECKED in a white-trash trailer park fight….then had the luxury of getting my senior picture the next day with a nasty shiner for it to be forever immortalized into my High School Year Book. After my royal beatdown, I thought the problem was “Well I just need to get stronger. That’ll solve it.” 💪 So I went ....

  • BJJ Gyms Owners HATE When You Ask These Questions

    BJJ Gyms Owners HATE When You Ask These Questions

    So you’ve finally decided to train BJJ? Congrats! The hardest part is over. Most adults think about it for years, but never actually commit to it. Joining a BJJ gym is not like taking a trip to Dick’s and picking out some gear. Every gym has its very own ecosystem and culture. You will want to make sure wherever you choose is a place you can see yourself training long term. (Honestly, if you can’t commit to training for at least 1-2 years you’re wasting your time). So when you call up several academies to interview them, (which I recommend) here are 5 questions that you should ask them (and some bonus ones) 1. "What’s your ....

  • Peer Pressure: The Beautiful Thing About Jiu-Jitsu

    Peer Pressure: The Beautiful Thing About Jiu-Jitsu

    I’d like to consider myself a disciplined person. But when it comes to working out, or going to the gym…..I’m prolly like a 5/10 regarding intensity. Unless I have somebody pushing me, I’ll do just enough to finish whatever workout my “Strong Lifts” app suggests. But when I train Jiu-Jitsu….its the opposite effect. I always do more than I planned for. “Okay I’m gonna go light today.” 5 minutes later….Im scrambling in a dog fight like a scene from a John Wick movie. “I’m only gonna do 3 matches today.” Next thing I know I’m locking up the gym at 9:30 recounting my 7 rounds. ....

  • I'll Say It: Wrestling Is The Most Difficult Sport On The Planet

    I'll Say It: Wrestling Is The Most Difficult Sport On The Planet

    Wrestling is the most difficult sport on the planet. Period. Yet, this debate is somehow ongoing like the never ending barrage of trash Marvel movies after End Game. A guaranteed way to get the online grappling community riled up is to put “Jiu-Jitsu vs Wrestling” in almost any headline. Former high school, college, and even Olympic wrestlers will flock to put in their two cents, followed by every rank of Jiu-Jitsu peeps. Occasionally, you’ll get some muggle who has never stepped foot on the mats to talk “UFC”….but they are quickly silenced by both sides of ACTUAL grapplers. SOME BACKGROUND Now to preface ....

  • How White & Blue Belts Can Produce An Award Winning Kids Program

    How White & Blue Belts Can Produce An Award Winning Kids Program

    Trigger alert. Brown/Black Belts with fragile egos aren’t going to like this article very much. ( I know I didn't at first when I was first introduced to this concept) That’s because there’s a commonly held misconception that one’s RANK in Jiu-Jitsu is equivalent to their status and effectiveness as a coach. This couldn’t be more flawed….especially when coaching kids. Now…..Elementary & Middle School teachers are already nodding their heads because they know where I’m going with this. In the BJJ community, some coaches let their ego get in the way from growing as a coach…. (while ironically toting a sign at ....

  • Is My Jiu-Jitsu Academy A Cult For Their Uniform Policy
    6 Aug 2024

    Is My Jiu-Jitsu Academy A Cult For Their Uniform Policy

    Every now and then I will see an instagram post, or a blog from a high profile Jiu-Jitsu site headlining some variation of: “5 Ways To Know You’re BJJ Gym Is A Cult” or “If Your BJJ Gym Does, This It’s A Cult.” And some of their points are (in my opinion) are spot on. Example 1: The coach is above reproach and nobody can approach him/her? Yeh I’m not down for that. Example 2: Bowing to a picture of a dead guy before stepping on the mat? (Helios Gracie) I’m also not down for that. But other points they call “Cultish”…..I would have to disagree with. One in ....

    Comparing The Biker Community To The Jiu-Jitsu Community

    The sound of over 1,000 Harleys filled the airways of Muskegon as teammates from Metro Jiu-Jitsu attended our quarterly Alvarez affiliation training camp.

As an affiliate of Alvarez Jiu-Jitsu, we have several academies across the state to cross train at including: Palm Jiu-Jitsu (Saginaw, MI) Central Michigan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Alma Jiu-Jitsu) & now Academy 231 (Muskegon, MI).

    This Kid Doesn't Matter To Us

    Simple question for you parents. 🧐 Is your kid just like every other child? Or are they unique with their own set of personalities, skills, and characteristics? The answer is obvious.

"The Kids On The Team Were Really Inclusive"

Lorena Garcia

I signed up my 11 year old daughter ,10 year old son and my 8 year old son and they love it. We tried the 30 day free trail and I was amazed by all they do and we went for it and signed up the coaches are amazing and the kids have fun and they love it!! It not only teaches them to be able to defend them self's it teaches them discipline respect not only for them self but for others and that fighting isn't always the solution . I love it and the kids love it . One of the things I love is that the kids workout and that's something I was looking for so my kids can be more active. I also love that its a very welcoming place its like a big family another place that feels like home for my kids if it were for them will be there all day 7 days a week !!
