Third at Pans again.

Lost in the semifinal to Christian Akin Silva, a super tough competitor from Brazil who just completed a Grand Slam this year. Nothing but respect to a great competitor.

I love getting to share the mats with athletes like this. They push me, challenge me, and show me what level I need to keep chasing.

I’m proud of the work, but I’m not satisfied.

Still chasing that Gold.

I’ll be back. 🔥

Everybody doesn’t have to see the vision.

Some people just need to hear the ground shake when it happens.

94°. 2-mile run. Tabata after.
 Cast on for 2 weeks.

No excuses.

I can’t train the way I normally train right now, but I can still work. I can still sweat. I can still push my body. I can still get better.

A cast may change the plan, but it doesn’t change the goal.

Shoutout to my workout partner @jordan.gallow_bjj

TOKYO BOUND 🇺🇸✈️🇯🇵

September 3–6, I’ll be heading to Tokyo, Japan to represent Team USA at SJJIF, competing in both Gi and No-Gi.

I’m really honored and excited for this opportunity, but I also know the work is just beginning.

There is a lot to do between now and then. More training. More discipline. More sacrifice. More learning. More chances to get better every single day.

This journey has already taught me so much. There are highs and lows, wins and losses, hard practices, big goals, and moments where you have to keep pushing even when it’s tough.

I’m thankful for my coaches, my teammates, my family, and everyone who keeps supporting me and helping me grow.

Thank you to my sponsors @firstrollgear, MCR, R & R Planning, Underdog official, Beechy Construction, Grand Valley garage, doors, wouldn’t be here without you guys.

Tokyo, I’m coming. 🇺🇸🥋🔥

Did you see this move at Freedom 250? 👀

One of the first things I learned in Jiu-Jitsu:

Hips up.

Then the tap. 👊

Preparation for Astana, Kaz starts now. 🇺🇸

Got to stop by one of my favorite places to train whenever I’m in Texas — 10th Planet Austin

Coach Jacob is one of the best instructors I’ve ever trained under, and the level of talent in that room is always incredible.

I got some great rounds in with Team USA teammate Cruz, Coach Jacob, Connor, Jocelyn, Jeanette, and a bunch of other talented athletes.

Always grateful for opportunities to learn, train, and sharpen my game with people who push me to get better.
