Grateful for the tough soggy and wet track workout this morning with da crew from @f45_training_redmond and @f45_training_kirkland.  You’re the real ones for coming out rain or shine! Thank you Coach @claudinavalcarlos for giving us the beatdown! 🙏😁#grateful #wet #hyroxtraining #running taken in Redmond High School (Washington) by @drraysue

Check out my interview with my Professor, decorated competitor and PNW BJJ legend- 5th Degree Black Belt Brian J. Johnson @nwjja. In our wide ranging discussion he touches on what it takes to train long term, a rolling framework, what he’d tell himself as a white belt and much more!

Highlights here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JOFjUsptNhQ

It’s absolutely true when they say the learning truly begins at black belt.  BJJ will forever be infinitely compelling, immensely challenging and ever evolving.  I feel so humbled to have an opportunity to continue to train and learn at one of the best gyms @nwjja along side some crazy talented athletes and dedicated hobbyists from every walk of life and receive world class instruction from Professor Brian J. Johnson. 

Incredibly grateful and privileged to receive my first stripe on my black belt.  While I feel I’ll always have a bit of impostor syndrome, BJJ continues to teach me, challenge me and reveal to me so many things about myself and life and I hope to continue to train and roll forever. 

Thanks to all my training partners and teammates.  Congrats to everyone that got promoted.  #latepost #bjj #nwjja #grateful #whitebeltmentalityforlife taken in Northwest Jiu Jitsu Club by @drraysue

Starting off 2026 with my BJJ cup being filled! I had the tremendous privilege of witnessing Jiu Jitsu history yesterday with David Meyer @agelesswarriorlab getting promoted to Coral Belt in BJJ by Professor Rigan Machado @riganmachado. David is a member of the Dirty Dozen (the first 12 Non-Brazilians to achieve the rank of black belt in BJJ). The contributions to the Art of BJJ and the MMA landscape these pioneers have had in America can’t ever be overstated.  Those of us who have trained and have been apart of the Art owe them so much. I’m spoiled rotten and so humbled to be part of this amazing lineage with the Machado Brothers, John Will @redcatbjj, David Meyer and Brian Johnson @nwjja.  Today, I even got a chance to meet Bob Bass @bobbassbjj! Photos credit to my teammate @vaikannen. 🙏

Hyrox #1 in Vancouver in the books! @hyroxca @hyroxamerica What an incredible time! It was a very grueling race but, the vibe and energy was absolutely 🔥. We were amongst 12,000 other people of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels gutting it out and pushing themselves 👏👏👏

Massive thanks to my Hyrox sista @kmhinshaw. I’m incredibly grateful you agreed to partner up last minute.  You’re an awesome athlete and it was amazing to vibe off one another. Thank you to my F45 Teammates @wanderlust_jeg and Mike, you guys did amazing and your voices helped us immensely. I’m so grateful to have this experience with you guys!

Huge thanks to all the coaches at @f45_training_redmond and @f45_ballard for all the support and training. Thank you @trainathleticform for the extra work, it was invaluable training with your Team. Thank you to my brothers Lester Maxwell and Edward Hui for the amazing coaching as well as words of wisdom.

As always thanks to my BJJ Family @nwjja. You’ve helped me to forge the grit and resilience to face anything physically and mentally. You were all there with me, every painful step. 

Looking forward to the next one!! #supergrateful  #comfortisaslowdeath #itsgoodtodohardthings taken in Canada Place by @drraysue
