Anthony Mitchell Jiu Jitsu Studio

Dedicated group with new belts. Still have some guys out of town who weren’t able to attend so more belts to hand out over the next week or so.

You work hard to become proficient at Jiu Jitsu. It’s not easy. You have to be good at wrestling, and Judo to even get to the Jiu Jitsu part…… it takes patience and time. The reward is the confidence you gain, and the relationships you form. The belt is just the cherry on top!!

Big things happen when you make them happen. Lots of medals earned last month, and some new belts for all the hard work.

Anyone knows the hardest belt to get is the next one…. One day you are the hammer and another day your the nail….. most people dont appreciate being the nail.

Adversity and disappointment will always be a better motivator than success.

Next Saturday!!!! We will level some people up, and get some great training!!!

Charlotte for the second time this year has traveled with her family and found a tournament in the city they were visiting. She didn’t disappoint anyone but her opponents hopes of winning. She went undefeated on the day, and we are so proud of her and thank her parents for being so supportive of her and her brother who is injured from baseball and couldn’t compete. He was there for encouragement and support he’s ready to get back on the mats too!! Congratulations Charlotte!!!!! Hard work paying off!!!!

We took a crew to Baton Rouge this passed weekend for the AGF Tournament there and had some great success. We had alot of wins, and a few losses, we had some cheers and tears…… But Jiu Jitsu doesnt care about feelings it teaches us lessons, and shows us where we need improvement. I’m always proud of how hard these kids fight and their talent. I’m quickly becoming more impressed with how they recover from setbacks. Mentally tough and confident kids do not get bullied.

No formal classes will be held tomorrow Monday, as we celebrate Memorial Day.

We will however have a 12pm Gi Open Mat. All ages are welcome to attend, anyone from any gym locally is welcomed to come and get some good training!!!

Some stripes and a few new belts for these hard working kids. Got some comps coming up so a few belts are on hold. These kids success is my biggest accomplishment.

I have wanted the Black One Roof Trophy since it became a thing for AGF. This trophy signifies that you won the Overall Team Title with one Academy. Not 3-4 grouping up as an association and combining points. We have been extremely grateful to every association we’ve had the privilege of competing with, but to win with just your team is a different feeling. Thank you to all of my students that competed, and especially the ones who showed up and helped them prepare. This trophy is for the entire academy!!!!! Each student got their OWN medals for what they accomplished…… but WE all accomplished this!!!!!

Saturday was the AGF Jackson Championships and our team absolutely killed it. We had some great wins and tough losses but showed excellent Jiu Jitsu in both. Our Kids Team won 1st Place in NoGi and in the Gi. Then the Adults took the mats and kept the same energy winning both 1st Place in NoGi and Gi. Our Academy won Best One Roof Academy. Thank you to the athletes, coaches, and parents who make moments like these possible.
