The Mat and the Mind: How Jiu-Jitsu and Education Intersect to Build Better Humans
Jiu-Jitsu isn’t only about wrist locks and cross-collar chokes, it’s about growth. At its core, it’s a system of learning that mirrors the best of what we aim to cultivate in educational settings: curiosity, problem-solving, resilience, and respect.

New Gear Drop
Now accepting pre-orders for official G13 BJJ ranked rash guards. Available in long sleeve and short sleeve, our IBJJF legal rash guards are a great way to help you stay cool and clean.

Why You Should Wear Rash Guards
Whether you’re rolling in the gi or training no-gi, one piece of gear deserves a permanent spot in your BJJ rotation: the rash guard. Once seen as a no-gi essential, rash guards are now becoming more and more common under the gi — and for good reason. More than just a stylish layer, a quality rash guard improves hygiene, comfort, and performance on the mats.
