How a Father-Daughter Team Made History at Jiu-Jitsu Con
|
This weekend, at Jiu-Jitsu Con, my daughter made history again… NOT just because she got Double Gold (Gi and No-Gi) – already an incredible achievement... …but because she was the first Brown Belt ever to teach a seminar at a Jiu-Jitsu Con event. Actually, we taught it together as a father-daughter team ✨
The event was PACKED – there were so many people in attendance:
What makes me truly happy is that because of Jiu-Jitsu, we’ve spent so much time together, supporting each other every step of the way. Watching Sarah grow into the amazing person she is today has been a blessing beyond words. Throughout our lives, my World Champion wife Angelica and I have been building our legacies… Through our athletic accomplishments, by establishing Team Atos (the best in the world!) and now by becoming the greatest coaches in the world. I’m so proud to keep building this family legacy together with our incredible daughter. 🤜🏽❤️🤛🏽 P.S. Want to catch me at my next seminar? In a few days I’m heading to Tampa, Florida. I’ll be giving a seminar at Fitfest, at the Florida Fairgrounds. I’ve shared more details about the seminar in this blog post. I’m super excited to share my knowledge with everyone in attendance.

This week we're celebrating our 14th anniversary at the academy. I remember when I got to San Diego in 2010… We officially opened the gym in September. Great things happen to me in September. Maybe it’s because it’s my birthday month! I remember I used to teach only three times a week – Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday. In the beginning, there were like only ten people at the gym – not even that. Then little by little, we started increasing the number of students. The gym started really blowing...
Do you know the story behind the origins of modern Jiu-Jitsu? The legend goes that Hélio Gracie – the man who created the system of Jiu-Jitsu we train today – suffered a lot of illnesses when he was young. This made training more difficult for Hélio than for his brothers. He spent much of his time watching his brother Carlos teach. But he couldn’t train at the same intensity. One day Carlos didn’t show up for class at the expected time. So Carlos’s students were left waiting for him to show...
Kade Ruotolo VS. Andrew Tackett was the most exciting match at CJI. Maybe even the most exciting Jiu-Jitsu match of all time. There are so many comments online of people saying that if they had to introduce their friends to Jiu-Jitsu, THIS would be the one video they would show them. So I wanted to dive deeper into one really incredible moment from the match. (Actually, I’ve been doing this for a few of the best fights from Team Atos on our online platform. See my "P.S.") This was the moment...
