SELF DEFENSE ~ WRESTLING
Lyla Hoycott has earned her Red/White belt!
Little Lyla has been a staple in both our Little Heroes, and Big Kids BJJ programs since about 2018.

She is as tough as she is adorable, and when it comes to red belts, we are so happy she got hers!
Congrats Lyla!
Hunter Deeds has received his Blue/White belt!
This kid has been in the big kids BJJ program for a whole year now! One of our Little Heroes vets has finally graduated to the big leagues, and we are so happy about it! When it comes to athleticism, this little dude definitely has it! When he isn't doing Jiu Jitsu, he is off doing his Ninja training, and you can see it on the mats! We couldn't be more happy for this guy, and we thank him for being as sweet as he is tough!
Congrats Hunter!
Natasha Basile, has been awarded her Purple/Blue belt!
Another one from the Basile clan has leveled up, and rightfully so! Natasha is such a sweetheart, and it makes it tough to highlight all the other amazing qualities she has! She is the only girl out of 4 brothers, but don't let that fool you! She is as tough as nails, and has one of the best side control games we have ever seen! She does an amazing job representing what it means to be a fantastic grappler, on and off the mats. She is always helping, always working, always learning, and most importantly, always smiling!
Congrats Natasha!
Parker has EARNED his Purple/Red belt!
When we say earn, we really do mean it! Parker has been part of our Jiu Jitsu program since he was five years old. Since he first stepped on the mats, he has not just constantly been working on his Jiu Jitsu skills, but everything else that makes Parker, Parker! His maturity has gone up, his athleticism, his sense of body awareness, you name it!
Congrats Parker!
Little Basie is finally a Yellow/White belt!
After a long hiatus from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we can not tell you how excited our coaches get when a talented and awesome student has to stop from training, and then comes back and is 1000x better! Basie has fun, isn't afraid to ask questions, and is not a pushover on the mats either! We can not wait for the next one!
Congrats Basie!

Lucas "Kool" Kuhle was awarded his Blue/White belt!
Man, when it comes to getting down on the mat, this kid has no fear! He is super silly, but when it comes to grappling, boy does he love it! His mother, Jennie Kuhle, has done a fantastic job instilling the love for Jiu Jitsu, and it shows on the mats in a very evident way!
Congrats Lucas!

Zaida kicked some butt AS WELL and was awarded her Purple/White belt!
Zaida has some sort of confidence that is always presenting itself on and off the mat, this confidence is great to have especially when she has spent these past 2 years really honing her craft and focusing on getting better in Jiu Jitsu! With being part of the Mbuna team, we believe that is integral!
Congrats Zaida!
We got a new Purple/White belt stomping around these parts!
Zaleah Santoveña was awarded her Purple/White belt and we could not be more happier! Zaleah has some sort of positivity that just radiates throughout the whole mat. She is not afraid to throw down, especially since she is one of our premier Mbuna team members. She has a great time rolling, drilling, playing games, and everything else that comes with being a part of an amazing Brazilian JIu Jitsu program!
Congrats Zaleah!

Man, could we get any tougher kids?
Moses Basile was awarded his White/Purple belt and we are so proud! This kid is the youngest in the Basile BJJ clan, and can already prove to the whole world how tough and hardened his Jits skills are. His favorite thing to do is well you guessed it, grapple! He rather grapple than play games, and is always making sure his fellow team mates are getting a good sweat in while always having the most fun.
Congrats little Momo!
3 big 303 cheers to Laurana for earning her White/Yellow belt!

Good job Laury!
We finally got another brown in the brown belt crew and we couldn't be more proud!

The camo belt is a very high respected and esteemed rank at our dojo, and we could not see another more fitting person to hold on to this title. Blake is one of our Veteran Mbunas, who is always down to throw down on the mats and have a fantastic time doing it. Thank you for all you do little Blake!
Congratulations on your achievement!
Watch out 303! A new White/Green belt is stomping around!
Little Lorena Hernandez has been doing such a fantastic job in our Little Heroes program. She is doing so good when it comes to being a great listener, and she has really made strides when it comes to being a brave little girl when it comes to grappling!

Congrats on your promotion!
Holy cow y'all, we have a Camo belt amongst us!

He was awarded the highly esteemed Camo/White belt, and we couldn't be more proud! This kid lives and breathes Jiu Jitsu, and has been doing such a great job being such an awesome Jiu Jitsu representative, on and off the mat. We can't wait to see where he goes!
Congrats Lucas!
We got a new Grape belt stomping on these mats!
Little Mackenzie has made it to the awesome rank of purple! She has been around these mats since her older brother Nolan was doing the Little Heroes program! There is always a special something in somebody when they have been around a certain environment for a long time, in this case, Mackenzie has been around these Jiu Jitsu mats since she was in her car seat, and we can definitely see it in this bright and amazing little grappler!
Good job MIss Mackenzie!
A fantastic senior belt was awarded to a hard working kid!
Nolan Bryant was awarded the very high and esteemed rank of Red/Black belt this week! Little Nolan is part of our amazing Mbuna team and does a fantastic job supporting off the mats just as much as he is on the mat! Little Nolan is one of our Little Hero veterans, and we have to say that it has been such a pleasure watching him progress through the ranks. He is turning into such a fantastic version of himself and we can not wait to see where he goes next!
Congrats Nolan!
Jace started his journey in our Little Heroes program and has quickly adapted to the ways of the big kids BJJ class! He was doing fantastic in Little Heroes, but we did not want to hold him back! He obviously shows it with his grappling skills, and brand new promotion! This kid loves to have fun, but he knows how to turn on the gas whenever he is grappling!
Congrats Jace!
We got another Green/White belt stomping around these red and black mats of ours!
Layla Ferry has been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost a year now, it has been such a pleasure to have her come in here and do everything she possibly can to make sure she becomes the best version of herself she can be! Layla comes to class ready to not only to train, but to help as well! Ever since she got her orange belt, she has been helping with our Little Heroes and we can see her helpful and caring demeanor up and down these mats and we could not be more happy for her!
Congrats Layla!
Heck yeah! We got ourselves a new Blue/Purple belt on the mats!
Masoda started his BJJ journey with us a little over a year ago. Ever since, he has been a super athletic and talented kid! He would get a move super quick, and just go for it whenever it came to grappling time! Masoda loves Jiu Jitsu so much, but we think the best thing about him is that he is not afraid to be silly and have a good time while he is here. We really love that about our environment, if doesn't just give kids a chance to grow in their Jiu Jitsu training, but we also give them a great chance to be a kid and Masoda does that so well!
Congratulations Masoda!

Another veteran Little Hero has leveled up!
Little Dom has leveled up to a shiny and new Orange/White belt! When it comes to grappling, this kid knows exactly what we are looking for when it comes to straight tenacity on the mat! He loves coming to our Mbuna comp class just for the hard rounds. He isn't afraid to give it 110% everytime he is training and we love to see it. We know his grappling skills have excelled, which makes sense since he has been doing it so long! We really just can not wait to see it level up even further.
Thank you Dom!
Man, where has the time gone?!
Little Austin has done darn did it! She has achieved the esteemed rank of White/Red belt, and is so extremely deserving of it! Austin has been hanging out at 303 since she was in a car seat, watching her older brother Wyatt train. If there are any words to describe Austin, the only one we could think of is Fearless! We really do mean it when we sat that she LOVES to grapple. She loves to throw the coaches, she loves the games, she loves Jiu Jitsu, and we could not be more proud!
Way to go Austin!
Man, look how far this dude is going!
Easton was awarded his Orange/White belt this past week, and we could not be more proud! Easton has been training for the past few months and his progress has been amazing. He went from being a shy and timid dude, to a bonified grappling machine! He loves the grappling portion of class more than the actual game times, he loves to drill with his favorite teaining partners, and he loves to pay attention! We can't wait to see what this belt does for him!
Way to go, Easton!
WE GOT A NEW BIG KID AROUND THESE PARTS.
Jack was awarded his Yellow/White belt this week, and we couldn't be more proud! Jack is one of our veteran Little Heroes. He has been training and going strong for awhile now, and you can definitely tell in his grappling! Jack is strong, swift, and smart with his techniques. He is also such a kind hearted and gentle spirit. We are happy to have him in our program and we can not wait for everything this new accomplishment will bring him!
Congrats Jack!
Look out 303! We got a new Orange running rampant!
Sullivan "Sully" was awarded his Orange/White belt! People are always told that to be a great black belt, you have to not only be one on the mat, but one OFF the mat as well, and boy, this kid embodies that very saying so well! Sullivan is always helpful to his partner and coaches, is always eager to train with the new kid, and isn't scared of giving every round everything he has while he is training! We are excited to see where he goes in his Jiu Jitsu training, and we are very happy to have him at our gym!
Congrats Sully!
Man, yellow looks great on this kid!
Romeo was awarded his Yellow/White belt and it definitely suits him! Romeo is one of the most reserved and calm kids we have seen in class, but when it comes down to grappling, this kid can really let it out! Romeo is always asking questions about techniques, and is always repping the move exactly how the coaches are showing it! We are super excited to watch how he develops as he grapples, and we are honored to show him the ways of Jiu Jitsu!
Congrats Romeo!
Holy cow! This kid Zaid is going places!
Zaid was recently promoted to his Green/White belt and we couldn't be more happier for him! This little one definitely knows how to have a good time, and that good time usually entails lot's of grappling! Zaid has almost been grappling for a year and has made a lot of progress, the Green is such a huge deal for him because nothing makes him more happy than seeing all his hard work in the form of a beautiful belt!
Congrats Zaid!
Man, this kid can really put in the hardwork!
Parker was awarded his Purple/White belt this past week, and holy smokes we love to see how much this kid drives towards each goal he sets and smashes them! Parker got back from a month long trip to Europe, and we know Jiu Jitsu was all that was on his mind. Why you ask? Because he went straight to the gym right after! Guess what happened next? He got his belt the very next day!
It has been a pleasure to watch this little one grow from a wild Little Hero, to an absolute single leg grabbing, purple belt havin, original grappler!
Congrats Parker!
This little one has bloomed into a beautiful sunny White/Orange belt, and we are all so happy about!
Charley is an absolute athletic maniac on the mat, and we are excited to see how it is gonna turn out during grappling times later on in her Jiu Jitsu journey! She is just one week shy of turning seven years old, meaning she will be graduating into a kids class that she can really blossom into her full potential, just like her belt! We are happy to have Charley on the mat bringing a very fun, yet intense energy to the whole room. She can light up a fire in a lot of kids, and we are excited for her to do it with the bigger kids too!
Congrats Charley!
Lucas has earned his Green/White belt!
Lucas is a very bright kid with a tough mindset. He comes to BJJ and can sometimes have a little trouble doing his thing, but when he gets started, it is amazing to see! From focusing on revenge and blob tag, to push pull sweeps and americanas, the growth of this little dude is amazing to see, and we know it is only going to get better and better as time goes on! He has a wonderful support system behind his back and we are lucky to be a part of it!
Congratulations Lucas!
This rambunctious little girl has done darn did it!
Destiny was awarded her White/Yellow belt! When it comes to grappling, you can definitely tell who loves it at first triangle choke, and Destiny fell in love with the art the second she threw coach Eric! This little girl is a firecracker and she learns extremely quick. She is never shy of a challenge and we know this is going to continue as good as it started!
Congratulations Destiny!
More sunny yellows for sunny smiley kids!
Luna was awarded her White/Yellow belt and we are super happy to see how much growth she has experienced from her first time bowing on the mat, all the way to the day she was awarded her belt! Luna was a super shy and timid girl, but quickly became one of the most outgoing and friendly students on the mat! She is always working hard, and never gives up when it comes to warm ups, games, and most importantly grappling!
Congratulations Luna!
Marek is an official big kid now!
Entering the 7+ Kids BJJ program as a white/red belt, it was super easy for Marek to integrate himself into the class! Sure it is definitely different, but that didn't stop Marek from doing what he had to do and get his work in on the mat! Marek loves the big kids class foe the fact that he gets to grapple so many other kids, and gets to learn a lot more! We are super lucky to call him one of our graduates and we can not wait to see what this class does for him next.
Congrats Marek!
Jace has bloomed into a sunny and shiny Orange/White belt!
Jace first came here and participated in our Little Heroes program. From the moment he stepped on the mat we could all tell that he had a natural adeptness to grappling! This little dude loves socializing and having fun in class, but when you get him to do the actual moves hes supposed to be doing, he does them phenomenally and with such class! Not only has he grown into a phenomenal little grappler over the past few months, but he is also doing a fantastic job filling into a leader and we know it's going to get better!
Congrats Jace!
WOW. We got another blue/white belt in the house!
Jimmy Scanlon recieved his hard earned blue last week and we couldn't be more happier for him! Jimmy has been grappling for a long time, he is actually one of our esteemed veterans from our awesome Little Heroes program. Jimmy has gone through many trials and tribulations when grappling, but he always comes out happy and smiling because he gets to train! Jimmy is a huge testament to the saying that anybody can become a black belt, and when we see this kid grapple, we see that black belt mentality! There is no giving up when it comes to this kid and we are honored to see how much he has progressed in the past few years he has been with us. On to the next belt little dude!
Congratulations Jimmy!

We got a sunny new orange in the house! Cole got his White/Orange belt!
Man, this little kid is such a joy to have in class! Off the mat he is very timid and reserved, but the second coach Eric says "everybody line up on the black, what do you say?!" That changes, 100%! Cole is always the one counting the loudest, running the fastest, standing in line the straightest, and really throwing the coaches the hardest! This little kid gets in his own element everytime he steps on the mat, and it has really shown in his white/yellow belt, and only going to grow stronger! Thank you for all ya do little man.
Congratulations Cole!
Watch out world! We got a brand new Yellow/White belt on the mat!
Little Easton started his Jiu Jitsu journey a little over 2 months ago and holy cow, this kid is a model student! He is extremely consistent, is always listening when the coaches are explaining technique, and does a great job when its time to grapple live! Easton was super shy and timid when first starting, but quickly grew out of that as soon as he realized how dang fun Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is! He quickly got with the rhythm and made some pretty great friends along the ride! We are so happy for you and we can't wait to see what yellow brings!
Congratulations Easton!
Mr Ragnarson is finally a white/red belt!
Little Jax is the youngest grappler of three, but do not let his age fool you! His tenacity and love for grappling is contagious and even adults could learn a thing or two from even just being around this rambuctious little dude! He is always the most eager to grapple the Coaches and Professor's, and when it comes to being a tough little dude, we think he is off to a great start!
Congrats little Jax!
Holy cow, Olivia got promoted again?!
Olivia Womack was recently promoted to a magnificent Red/White belt! She is a veteran little hero and part of our Mbuna team. We swear, this little ball of fury collects belts like Thanos collects Infinity Stones. Olivia is an amazing grappler just as she is person too! She comes to class as many times as she can a week, and knows that when she wants to quit, it is always better to just suck it up and keep going! We love having her in class and we are so impressed with how her grappling skills are developing! Don't let this little one pull guard on you, because she won't quit!
Congrats Olivia!
Nolan is a Red/White belt!
Man, when it comes to higher belts, you can definitely watch Nolan grapple and know he has been around the mat for a little while now! This kid comes in 3-4 times a week, is usually trying to help in our Little Heroes class, and LOVES coming to our Mbuna class! I guess this happens to you when you have been training Jiu Jitsu since age four, and just absolutely end up loving it! We are lucky to have had this chance to watch Nolans BJJ level increase, and holy cow talk about his spider guard! Thank you for all you do, and as always,
Congratulations Nolan!
This little tiny ball of sunshine finally acquired her White/Yellow belt!
Bowie is one our tiniest yet fiercest little heroes in class. Please do not let her small stature fool you! Bowie's Gi bag might be bigger than her, but please remember that Bowie has been a lifelong Martial Artist since the time she could walk. She absolutely adores our Little Heroes class and knows how much fun grappling can be! Whenever she bows on our mats, she is ready to give her all 100% of the time! (And yes, especially during game time too!)
Congrats Bowie!
Lorena has finally been promoted! And holy cow, she wears that golden white/yellow belt well!
Lorena has been participating in our Little Heroes program for just over 2 months now, and the best way to describe her is just giddy! Lorena is always so giddy to learn a new move, giddy to get new rules/stripes on her belt, giddy to train, giddy to play, you name it! The best thing about that, is that it always brings a fantastic energy to the class that is also contagious. Lorena you are a fantastic grappler with a heart of gold and we are honored to train with you!
Congrats Lorena!
Following the road to success! Kailan is a white/blue belt now!
Just so you all know, getting a blue belt in our Little Heroes AND 7+ Kids BJJ program can take the same amount of time to get a blue belt in our Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes! Thats a whole year of hard work, and Kailan has exceeded in every belt since the beginning. He is always the first kid on the mat, sitting on the wall criss cross applesauce just waiting to scream "Yes Sir!" At the top of his lungs when he lines up! This kid's favorite part of class has always been the grappling part, and when you see him you can definitely tell! He does a fantastic job being such a nice kid to everyone of his classmates, and we are honored to train with this little guy.
Congrats Kailan!
Man, Bo is looking good in Blue!
This week was a great time for the Martin family, Bo was awarded his Blue/White belt in our Kids BJJ program, and we could not think of something more well deserved than this guy! Bo is a great student. Often times pushing himself to the brink in all the things he does on the mat. That can mean drilling, grappling, or even game time! We are excited to see where this new belt takes him, and we are even more excited to say we have been there every step of the way!
Congrats Bo!
A bright colored belt for sunny smiled kid!
Liora Worang was awarded her big kids Yellow/White belt, meaning she has OFFICIALLY graduated into our 7+ Kids BJJ program. We take these graduations extremely serious, because this jump can be a very difficult thing to tackle for some students! Definitely not for Liora though, she loves our kids program and gives 110% everytime she is in class. She is a wonderful example of where Jiu Jitsu can take you, and we look forward to be there along the way!
Oh Yea, another Yellow/White belt!
Grey was awarded her Yellow/White belt this week and BOY is that thing glowing! Grey comes to class as humble as humanly possible. She has never once asked about a stripe, has never once talked out of turn, and has never once even so much shown any emotion that isn't positivity! This little girl glows just as much as her yellow belt, and we could not be more happier with what this means to her. She has been training in Martial Arts her whole life, and has been doing a good job being another excellent role model not just to her little sister Presely, but also to all the other little ones in class. Oh the places you'll go Grey, and we can not wait to be there for them!
NEW YELLOW BELT IN THE HOUSE.
Presely has been awarded her Yellow/White belt and we could not be happier! This little one comes to class with a very serious demeanor, and is always ready to train. She has no issue at all when it comes down to sitting and watching a move, because you can tell her brain is dissecting and picking apart every little piece of that submission/position/sweep! I guess this is what happens when you come from a family full of Martial Artists! Presely, we could not be more proud of you and we look forward to see how your yellow treats you!
Man, what can be said about this kid?!
Blake Oscarson earned his Brown/Red belt with FLYING COLORS! One of our senior ranking Mbuna members, competition veteran, and all around awesome grappler has had all his hard work come to fruition! Blake does a phenomenal job showing off his skills during live training, but just as importantly has no problem helping out anybody on the mat who needs it. He is an awesome role model to his little brother Parker, and other little Mbunas trying to get onto them competition mats, and we really do see a star in the making whenever he is bowing onto the mat, ready for class.
Here is a future Professor of Jiu Jitsu in the making y'all!
WOW! What do ya know, another new yellow belt in the house!
When Logan first started with us 2 months ago, he was a very shy, and timid individual. It was hard to crack him out of his shell, but it was done! To be honest, you can't even tell that he used to be this little shy pie now! He has a wonderful ferocity when he is grappling that is still super playful and fun. He comes to class ready to work but will know exactly when the right time is to play games and be his usual silly self! We are happy to have you in class and we can not wait to see what your beautiful new White/Yellow belt does for you bud!
Congrats Logan!

Braelyn's now a golden White/Yellow belt!
Braelyn has been working hard for the past two months and all of that hard work has come into fruition! This little girl has one of the most positive, AND contagious attitudes we have seen in our Lil Heroes program, and we love to see her achieve her goals! Braelyn loves grappling just as much as she loves game time, but wow when it comes to the grappling she is a little fire cracker, and we can not wait to see how much she advances while she is on her way to her orange belt!
Congratulations little Braelyn!
Logan has upgraded to a sunny new Orange/White belt!
Little Logan has been a shining example of someone who has a lot of potential, yet has to keep working towards it. This kid does a fantastic job when it comes to setting a goal and actually working towards it! This attitude is extremely contagious for other kids on the mat, as it makes them want to keep on keeping on, and work as hard as he has. Does he know how to have fun? Of course. Does he have a silly and fun loving attitude? Definitely! But does he get his work done? He definitely does, and that is all we can ask for when it comes to being such a talented little grappler!
Thank you for keeping it playful, and congratulations Logan!

Chloe is a White/Yellow belt now!
Man, when it comes to this Little Hero here, you can definitely put the "NO" in No Nonsense! Whether its keeping the balls of the mat, to making sure everyone has a good attention stance. Or even helping everyone get in line, to asking people to be quiet in the mat chats, this little girl is here to work! She takes her training very serious, but she also knows how to have fun when its time and we love that about her! We can not wait to see what she does in her yellow. Orange is next, and with that attitude on and off the mat, it should not be too far!
Thank you and congratulations Chloe!
Charley has graduated from a white belt to a fantastic White/Yellow belt!
This little girl is a complete powerhouse on and off the mat! She is so dang good at using her brain along with her body to get whatever desired result that is wanted and that is what future IBJJF world champions are made of! She comes in ready to not just grapple, but listen and we could not be more appreciative of such talent and maturity at such a young age! You'll make a find future Mbuna team member one of these days! We got out banana belt, now off to the orange!
Thank you and Congratulations Charley!
We got a super belt for this super kid!
Zaid has been in the program for the past few months and quickly climbed up his rank to a beautiful, sunny Orange/White belt! Zaid loves 303 Training Center and his favorite part about Jiu Jitsu class is all the chokes and jokes we have at the gym! This kid's closed guard game is just as wicked as his Toilet Tag game is! He is always having a blast in class and will always have the unique ability to make you laugh!
Congrats Zaid and thank you!
Hunter upgraded into a GOLDEN Yellow/White belt!
Hunter got pretty far in his Jiu Jitsu journey before getting this belt! He was a tiny little terror in the Little Heroes class with a sweet and kind heart, but also with a wicked double leg! He does a great job helping his fellow students out with whatever moves are being taught that day, and we can not wait to see where this belt takes him! He can't wait until he gets a little older to start coaching in the Little Heroes class, where we know he will shine! Congratulations Hunter!
And The blueberry belt goes to....
Rylee!
Rylee was awarded her White/Blue belt this week, and we could not think of a better accomplishment for such a sweet kid! She comes to Jiu Jitsu and does exactly what she is told, 100% of the time! This explains why her Jiu Jitsu is so phenomenal at such an early age! Coming from a grappling family also can help a lot, but what she does on the mat is all her all of the time, and we love it! Blue marks a whole year training in our program, and we are excited to see what the next year brings in!
Congratulations Rylee!
Blue/Purple is lookin extra Priddy for Kieran Priddy!
Kieran has been growing up on the mat with breaks in between, but that has not stopped him! He has become a wonderful bevy of knowledge when it comes to grappling techniques! This kid could probably take coach Eric's job and do it with flying colors! He is always ready for a good grappling session, and is always a helpful partner whenever his partners are having a hard time LEARNING technique, which is a skill that can be acquired! We can't wait to see what this belt will do for him, and we will be there every step of the way just like he is for all his classmates!
Congrats Kieran!
Three cheers for Aaron! He received his White/Orange belt!
This little dude is a little tank! An unstoppable force of fun and smiles. Aaron started the program just shy of 3 years old and what he lacks in age he makes up for in grappling skills! He's a super kid with a very fun and playful attitude. He loves to take care of his partners and he can play red light green light like no other!
Congratulations little Aaron! We love having you in class bud!
White/Green is the color for this little one!
Mackenzie has been a Little Hero since before she was able to even be in the program! This little girl was itching to get on the mat from before when she would watch her older brother Nolan do his own Jiu Jitsu classes! Now, she can say shes been in the program a little under a year and boy she has just skyrocketed! We are happy to always see her playful self in class and we look forward to see what this new belt will do for her!
Congratulations Mackenzie!
Orange is the color of Bears, and this one is a mighty one!
Bear has been at the 303 Training Center for a good few months now and we can easily tell by how much fun he is having during grappling time! Don't let his intimidating name fool you, this kid can be ferocious like a Bear on the mat, but is just as friendly as a Teddy Bear too! You can tell this guy is on the mat when you feel the playful energy of the room elevate, and we absolutely enjoy it! We can not wait to see what Orange/White does for you buddy!
Congratulations Bear!
Celebrating 16 in Blue
Angelo Basile is an impressive kid, he's been training jiu jitsu since he was just four years old. He's the eldest of the Basile kids and is a shining example to his brothers and sister. Angelo has won countless medals, and raised money for various charities over the years as the (kids comp) Mbuna member and former Capitan. We’re proud to see him come this far and achieving his blue belt at 16!
Congratulations Angelo, we’re excited to see you grow and flourish in your Jiu Jitsu journey.
Purple/Blue is the belt for competitors!
Man what can be said about this kid, Royce Martinez got an awesome chance to level up this past week and we could not be more excited! This kid breathes, eats, and sleeps Jiu Jitsu, yet somehow still manages to do every other sport imaginable when he is not doing Jiu Jitsu! Saying his Father is one of our esteemed Professor's at 303 is not one of the only reasons he does so good, he naturally has had that black belt spirit since the Little Heroes class! One of our Little Hero alumni has gone on to awesome things in our big kids program! From tournaments, to off hour roll seshes, he loves being part of the Mbuna team and his Jiu Jitsu prowess really shows everything he has been working hard to achieve!
Congrats Royce! We are so happy for you!
The Dynamic Duo
Look out world! We have a dynamic duo here with some brand spanking new blue/white belts!
Zaleah and Zaida make up 2 parts of a wonderful duo of Jiu Jitsu prowess! Zaleah loves to be silly and have fun when she is just drilling on the mat, but her skills during live rolls are amazing and you can definitely tell she picks up on a lot of things! Zaida is a very serious and calm mannered young lady, but is always remembering to keep things playful. She rolls with the skills of a future IBJJF world champion! Blue belt is a big deal at 303 Training Center because it signifies a year of hard work, and we can definitely see that in these two! They both come to friday night fights every week with the goals of competition in their minds. These two make a wonderful example to other little ones at 303 Training Center, and we can not wait to see what blossoms out of these two mat monsters!
Congrats Zaida and Zaleah, thank you both for all you do!
Blue goes great with Purple, and it goes even better on Mary Jane!
This little girl is a powerhouse on the mat. One of our Little Heroes alumni, has gone on to bigger and better things in our 7+ Kids BJJ class. We have seen this little girl grow and BOY does she fit the bill when it comes to a Jiu Jitsu kid! She loves to play games and she loves to talk to all her friends during class, but when it comes to grappling time, she is as serious as can be and is definitely not going to stop anytime soon!
Congrats on your belt Mary Jane!
This little ball of fire is named Serenity and she is a Purple/Red belt now!
You can tell how tenacious this one is by the way she grapples! The ferocity reminds us of the color red and her new belt suits it very well! Serenity started with us in the Little Heroes class and quickly went on to the regular 7+ Kids BJJ class, we can definitely see why as time goes on and her grappling skills soar. Oftentimes, she opts out of game time at the end of class and is immediately looking for other kids who would rather grapple themselves, and we love that! Don't let her skills fool you, Serenity is always running up to her fellow students when they get promoted, and being extremely nice and helpful to everyone on the mat!
Team work makes the dream work, congrats Serenity!
There is a future, and it's GREEN
Little Nuru has been a staple part of our Little Heroes program for almost a good year now! Like any other kid, he LOVES the game portion of class, but don't let that fool you! This little one has the tenacity and technical prowess of a future world champion, and as he gets older he will definitely blossom even more, on and off the mats! We can not wait to see what you do in your White/Green belt!
Congrats little Nuru! Thank you bud!
Super Star Lyla!
Cheers to Lyla Hoycott! Jiu jitsu comes easy to this little superstar! Lyla's 8 years old and has been training since she was 4 here at 303 training center! Lyla definitely puts in the hours and 4 Years of training equals a purple/white belt! Keep shooting for the stars because that's where you belong!
Always positive and always determined Giacomo Basile
Giacomo Basile is one of the 303 Training Centers most positive and outgoing students!
As a competitor Giacomo has been nothing short of exciting by winning all 14 of his 15 matches by way of submission! We very much look forward to his next match!
The new red/blk belt is a great training partner for all levels and you will consistently see him volunteering on Tuesdays and Thursdays by helping Coach Eric coach our Little Heroes classes and always making everybody laugh!
​
Way to go on your new 303 kids belt Giacomo! We are so proud and fortunate to have a jiu jitsu kid like you at the 303 Training Center!
Moses Basile levels up!
Moses Basile youngest of the 5 Basile's earns his blue/white belt! This little hero has one of the biggest personalities and is always up for any challenge! Moses wants to be a zookeeper when he grows and with his continuing journey in jiu jitsu he'll be able to wrangle any crocodile that gives him trouble! Way to go Mo!
Looking good in blue Ashley!
First blue belt of the year! Woohoo get it girl! Ashley has such an optimistic and positive attitude when she steps on the mats! She puts in 100% effort in her practice and it shows! Ashley displays a passion and determination that is felt by all those that are lucky enough to train with her!
Outstanding Student Kya
Displaying great determination Kya's always been a dedicated student in the kids program and shortly moving up to the teens program, she shows great success and progress in her Jiu Jitsu journey. Earning her blue/purple belt Kya is looking confident and ready to motivate herself and her teammates on the mats! We're lucky to have an outstanding student in our teens jiu jitsu program!
Climbing The Jiu Jitsu Ladder!
Grn/wht is a great color for our Little Hero Kailan Batchelor! This youngling has got some fire in him, showing up almost every day just to get some fantastic training in! Kailan likes to mirror his older brother who happens to be one of our assistant coaches. Kailan’s always working hard regardless of how many stripes he has and we see it from the number of days he does training week in and week out! Keep that black belt attitude up Kailan! We look forward to seeing what your jiu jitsu journey has to offer for you bud!
Congratulations Kailan!

Layla is Gold!
Looks like we have another Little Hero who has officially graduated to the 7+ Kids BJJ class! Layla has been wanting to be in the 7+ class since she started Jiu Jitsu in August of 2022! With dance, crossfit, and other extracurriculars going on, she still puts in 100% of herself on and off the mat. For that we are proud to call her a student of 303 Training Center, and we love how much of a great big sister to not just her little sister Emmy, but to everyone else on the mat!
Congratulations Layla!
Blue is the color of Tiger lilies
Don't let this little girl's adorable name fool you. She is as sweet as she is fierce and that is saying a lot! The color of this belt promotion is very special considering not only is it just BLUE, but Blue belt marks a full year of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training just like the adult belt system does! You can imagine how pumped a hard working little student like herself is being able to say she has been training for a year! The coolest thing about her getting on the mats is it got her father and assistant coach Billy back into training BJJ as well! Which is all around very inspiring. Keep encouraging people on and off the mat Tigerlily!
Congrats on the blue belt Tigerlily!
No Blue Belt Blues For Aryssa!
This little Lady got her PURPLE/WHITE belt this past week and is ready for the next step! Aryssa has been training for well over a year now. Her Jiu Jitsu DEFINITELY shows how consistent she can be when she is throwing down on the mats. Not only does she have a wicked X-Guard sweep, she also is a fantastic role model to her younger brother Angelo and all the other belts! You will see her after class making sure everyone is shaking hands properly, and showing the most utmost respect to her coaches and training partners.
Way To Go Aryssa!
Look out y'all! We got a new White/Purple belt on the loose!
Do not let little Austin's adorable demeanor fool you, she is fearless and tough as she is cute! Austin has been a great part of our Little Heroes program since before she even got on the mat. Nothing was cooler than seeing her, watching her older brother Wyatt (who is part of our 303 Little Heroes alumni) training. You can tell she was going to be a little mat monster. As she has gotten older, she is now doing the same, and 303 could not be more proud!
Congratulations on your "Grape Jelly" belt little Austin! Thank you!

Holy cow, Blue AND Purple? Way to go Wyatt!
Belt promotions are always super awesome. Seeing these kids realize how much hard work and time it takes to earn anything is a real treat to see, but it's really cool when you have somebody who has been doing Jiu Jitsu since they were LITTLE. Since the age of 4 he has been working hard, training Jiu Jitsu, and being a great role model for his little sister, Austin. His blue belt brought him a lot of cool things like competition and Mbuna practice experience! We cant wait to see what Blue/Purple will bring you.
Good job Wyatt!
Blue and Purple looks great on you dude!
Sage looking fierce in orange/white
Let's give it up for Sage, who leveled up with a bright sunny White/Orange Belt!
Nice sunny white/orange belt you got their Sage! We admire the fact that this little girl loves Jiu Jitsu so much. She left on vacation and even took her gi with her, that is insane! She comes in ready to train with one of the BIGGEST smiles on her face! Her laughter is super contagious, but do not undermind the ferocity that she can throw us with! It is quite impressive and are honored to award her with this orange belt!
Climbing up the ladder, one stripe at a time! Thank you Sagey!
Jace is leveling up
ANOTHER Little Hero Graduates into the 7+ Kids Class!!
And that little one is Jace!
Look at the GOLD of that Yellow/White belt! Nothing feels better than a hard earned and well deserved promotion. Jace loves Jiu Jitsu more than he loves Jersey Mike's, and that is saying a lot! Jace did a lot getting this belt as he was a little bit younger than most entering the program. He made up for this with his quick and easy with his bright attitude and willingness to hang with the bigger kids.
Thank you Jace! We can't wait to see how you do with this belt!
The Spunky Natasha
Man where to start with this one!
Congrats on your Purple/White belt Natasha! It has been a wild ride since the Little Heroes, and even before that! This girl has basically been on the mat since she has been able to crawl. It helps a lot to grow on the mat when you have some butt kicking older brothers and an awesome Professor for a father as well! Don't let her adorable bangs and helpful nature decieve you, if she puts you in side control, you are NOT getting out! We can't wait to see what kind of Natasha this belt will bring out of you!
Congrats Tasha! Thank you for all you do on and off the mats little one!
Cole and his sweet new White/Yellow belt!
This kid came in shy and timid, and quickly warmed up to our fun and playful Jiu Jitsu atmosphere like nothing! This little dude can tell you how to finish a armbar faster than he can tell you how many different Spider-Man's there are! We are so genuinely proud and we love to see this little kid, everytime he is in class, he comes ready to learn and ready to work hard. We can not wait to see what this belt does for you little dude!
Congrats Cole!

Bright and dazzling Sophia!
Our future IBJJF champion is in the house and she is a Orange/White belt!
This little one has been training hard and it shows! She can be a future world champion, and she definitely will be as she applies herself! She definitely has shown what she can do through yellow belt and on and we can not wait to see what she does in this beautiful Orange/White belt. Sophia has all the tenacity of a little Gabi Garcia and we can't wait to see!
Congratulations Sophia! Thank you for all you do!
Lunas shinny new orange/white belt!
We got multiple Orange/White belts in the house and we love to see it!
This one goes for little Luna, who is as good of a contortionist as she is a grappler! The things this girl can do on and off the mat is absolutely bonkers, and we love the bright attitude and helpfulness she brings to class every week! Her Jiu Jitsu is always fired up by her older brother Logan, and we can not wait to see how this orange belt does for her!
Thank you for all you do Luna! We will see you on the mat!
