Today we’re celebrating International Women’s Day and taking a moment to recognize the incredible women and young women who are part of our NOMAD community.

To the women and young women who step onto our mats, thank you. It takes courage to try something new, to challenge yourself, and to keep showing up. Every class, every round, every small step forward helps build the culture we are proud of here.

We see it in the little things, encouraging a teammate, helping someone feel welcome, working through tough moments, and sharing laughs along the way. Those moments are what make this more than just a place to train.

We’re also grateful for the women who helped open the door in martial arts and combat sports, creating the path for more women and girls to step onto the mats and discover their strength and confidence.

To the women and young women of NOMAD, thank you for being part of this community and for helping make it the welcoming, supportive place that it is.

Happy International Women’s Day 🌿

Wrapping up an incredible two days at our Jiu Jitsu For Life Team Annual. We were on the mats Friday and Saturday, and now that things have slowed down a bit, I’ve had a chance to reflect before flying home tomorrow.

This was the biggest one I’ve ever been to, and the atmosphere was electric. I jumped into both Gi and NoGi, pushed myself, learned a lot, and had a ton of fun doing it. Just as meaningful was getting to reconnect with our extended JJFLT family again. There’s something powerful about being surrounded by so many people who love this art.

I also managed to catch up with Professor , even if only for a moment. Every time I see him it reminds me why this team feels like home. His energy and leadership always leave me inspired and motivated to keep growing.

Feeling grateful, proud, and excited to bring everything I learned back to our students.

See you all soon. OSS.

had our Nomad crew on full display yesterday, and I could not be more proud of this team.

It wasn’t an easy day. Jayden and Sasha didn’t get matches again, and Koda’s opponent was disqualified for being over the weight limit. They all handled it with patience and maturity, and that speaks louder than any medal ever could.

For the rest of the team, the growth was unreal. Dominic, Hunter, and Mariko pushed through tough matches and stepped up in a big way. Their progress from the last competition was obvious, and the lessons they’re bringing home are only going to raise the level in our studio.

And huge respect to Josh for stepping into his first-ever competition. The outcome wasn’t what he hoped for, but the courage to get out there and test yourself at any age is something to celebrate. That’s where growth lives.

I’m grateful for every one of you. The way this team shows up, supports each other, and keeps leveling up is something special. If you see any of these competitors this week, give them a fist bump and let them know how proud we all are.

Onward, Nomads. We keep growing together.

Today, I had the honour of standing in Coach Cory’s corner during her very first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition.

Watching her step onto the mats wasn’t just inspiring—it was a powerful reflection of her drive, humility, and the way she shows up for her teammates every single day.

Coach Cory lives the martial artist’s path. She’s constantly learning, pushing herself, showing up with consistency, and lifting others through her energy. She brings a rare mix of grit and grace that creates a positive ripple through the entire room.

As our JJFL Professor Jorge Britto once said, “You’ve already won when you step up to compete in the first place.” Coach Cory did just that—stepping up with courage, composure, and a whole lot of heart.

I’m incredibly proud of her. She’s not just a great teammate—she’s a role model, and this is only the beginning.

This morning, a group of our Nomads stepped onto the competition mats at Vancouver —many of them for the very first time.

It takes real courage to step into competition. It’s not just about technique—it’s about facing your nerves, pushing past fear, and testing yourself in an unfamiliar space. Today, our team did just that, and I couldn’t be more proud of every single one of them.

Medals weren’t the goal. Sure, they’re nice—but this journey was never about standing on a podium. It was about showing up, growing through challenge, and making memories that will last far longer than any hardware. The biggest wins today were the lessons learned, the bonds strengthened, and the courage it took to step up.

Huge thanks to Coach for guiding the team through the day and holding space for everyone. And to all the parents and teammates who came to support—you are the foundation of this community, and your presence means everything.

I didn’t compete today, but I walked away inspired. Watching our Nomads dig deep, support each other, and carry themselves with humility and heart—that’s what it’s all about.

Proud is an understatement. This is just the beginning.

💙 A Historic Day at NOMAD BJJ! Congratulations, Patrick Higgins! 🎉

Today, we made history at NOMAD BJJ by promoting our first blue belt, Patrick Higgins! This milestone is more than just a new belt—it’s a symbol of Patrick’s dedication, resilience, and growth on and off the mats.
