Thank you to our incredible team for coming together for OUR FIRST PARADE and booth at the Fun Festival this weekend. Our team showed up to support and represent the best jiu jitsu school in town - we are going into our 8th year of business! Even more so, the moms and kids really held it down helping to create our parade bags and then walked the route with us! Shoutout to Professor David for driving us all safely in the float!

See you at class this week and share your photos!!! #unionjiujitsu #jiujitsu #funfestival #coosbay parade by @jennholmberg

Huxley update: We don’t have one.

It’s been 2 months since the process began to see if surgery was even possible.
He has a malformed trachea causing a 90% collapse. They are working to see if a stent can be created to remedy his condition.

He’s slowing down. It’s difficult for him to walk. He needs to be carried most days. He eats like a pig, gets excited as hell when the kids come around, and he refuses to give up.

Anyway, that’s what we know right now. by @jennholmberg

What happens when you stop silencing yourself?

This episode of Chokeholds & Chill, Jenn and Mal sit down with Dr. Leslie Davis - aka @therealdrleslie or @tinyjiujitsu 💪🏼for a conversation that goes way beyond Jiu Jitsu.

Mallory first experienced Leslie’s work at a roundtable at Roll Models Grappling Camp, where they talked about self-silencing—the ways women learn to make themselves smaller, quieter, more agreeable, and easier for everyone around them.

And that conversation stuck.

We talk about:

🥋 Jiu Jitsu and women’s self-defense
🧠 Mental wellness and self-trust
🗣️ Self-silencing and why saying “no” can feel so damn uncomfortable
🚧 Boundaries in relationships and friendships
❤️ What happens when we repeatedly ignore our own instincts
👊 Why self-defense is about much more than knowing how to fight
🤼‍♀️ Creating Jiu Jitsu academies where women feel safe speaking up
💪 What changes when a woman realizes she doesn’t have to be powerless

What happens to a woman when she starts realizing, physically, that she doesn’t have to be powerless?

This conversation gets honest, uncomfortable, empowering—and ultimately hopeful.

Because strength isn’t just being able to fight.

Sometimes strength is saying no.
Sometimes it’s taking up space.
Sometimes it’s trusting your gut.
And sometimes it’s finally realizing you don’t owe everyone your silence.

It’s never too late to become the person you’re meant to be.

What started as taking his son to jiu jitsu turned into earning a black belt, building a successful academy, stepping into Hollywood as an actor and fight coordinator, and now producing a film with a mission to make a difference.

This week, we sit down with our friend Damien Tanenbaum to talk about what happens when you stop worrying about being a beginner and simply refuse to quit.

In this episode, we dive into:
🥋 Starting jiu jitsu in his mid-30s
👊 Why he believes fundamentals are everything
🎬 His journey from hobby actor to fight coordinator and producer
🎥 His upcoming films and the inspiration behind Shattered—a powerful project highlighting a father’s fight to save his daughter from human trafficking
🌎 Why every small step forward creates the momentum for the next opportunity

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too old,” “I’m too late,” or “I’m not ready,” this conversation is your reminder that the best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is today.

What do you do when Plan A falls apart? For Mike “Coach Lobes” Frausto, the answer was simple: keep teaching.

What started with one student in a one-bedroom apartment grew into New Ground Jiu Jitsu, a thriving no-gi academy built on community, technical excellence & a genuine love for the art.

In this episode, we talk about taking risks, overcoming setbacks, building culture, coaching with purpose & why sometimes the best opportunities come from the plans that never happened.

This episode is for everyone; the gym owners & gym rats, competitors & hobbyists, new students & seasoned grapplers — hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it ✨
