Proud of our NTX MMA competition kids who took the mats today at the American Grappling Federation – Dallas Winter Classic.

Every one of you put in the time, showed up for each other, and represented our team the right way. The work you’re doing in the gym, the support you give your teammates, and the way you carry yourselves on and off the mat does not go unnoticed.

Win or learn, this is what growing together looks like. We’re thankful for our athletes, our families, and our NTX MMA community. On to the next one. 🥋🤍 taken in Duncanville Fieldhouse by @jordan_the3rd

Three years ago, NTX MMA began as a dream. Today, it’s a thriving family, community, and home for wrestling, Judo, and Jiu Jitsu—and we’re just getting started.

First, thank you to my family—Chastity, Summer, and Haleigh. Your sacrifices, support, and belief in this dream have made everything possible. There would be no NTX MMA without you!

To our coaches, families, athletes, and supporters: thank you for showing up, putting in the work, and helping build something special. A special thank-you to Professor Virgil, Maggie, Sophia, and Team Dreadnought BJJ for always making the trip to support us.

Congratulations to every athlete who ranked up today. Your dedication earned this achievement, and we’re proud to celebrate you.

A huge congratulations to Coach Michelle and Coach Josh on earning your black belts! We’re incredibly proud of you and grateful for the example you continue to set.

NTX MMA is more than a martial arts gym—it’s a family, a community, and a home.

Thank you for trusting us, growing with us, and helping make NTX MMA what it is!

Three years down. A lifetime of impact ahead. taken in NTX MMA - Anna TX by @jordan_the3rd

Black belt ❤️🖤

Today was truly surreal.
A culmination of almost 13 years as a Jiu Jitsu practitioner.

I am so grateful that I got to share this moment with Everett, who has been in the gym watching me train and teach his whole life.

The two hardest, and most rewarding, things I have done in my life are Jiu Jitsu and being a mom.

Both have saved me.
Transformed me.
And provided endless lessons about perseverance and relentlessly pursuing what you love.

I hope one day Everett looks back and realizes all that this black belt means.

To my @ntxmma family, I cannot describe how grateful I am. To be somewhere with people that genuinely love and support you is life changing. The cheers, tears and hype for this special moment in my life meant so much.

@virgil.allen2 thank you so much for everything.
Our shared love, lineage and appreciation for @octaviocoutobjj made this was a sweet, full circle moment in my jiu jitsu career.

@jordan_the3rd getting me to come to NTX was one of the best decisions of my life and I’m so grateful for it!

@txgrappler71 thank you for all that you guys have done to support me, from giving me a coaching home to encouraging and helping with the @theempowermentproject.co - my life has changed for the better since coming to NTX.

I have come so far and I have much to learn.
I’m so excited and grateful for this next chapter.

Clara Weaver and I had a BIG day yesterday, competing in the Bacerra Judo Memorial Competition at Eastside Dojo! Clara won 🥇 winning two of two matches. Her drop SEOI was on point! I went 2 of 3 in the novice division (18+ and up) winning🥈and 3 of 3 in Veterans (40+) where I won 🥇by throwing two brown belts (for the win) and submitting a second degree black belt!

I’m so glad we joined Ntx Mma and specifically the Judo program. I started judo “wanting to be better at throwing” and have since really learned to love the sport. It’s so great watching Clara bloom into a stellar young Judoku and I can’t wait to see where she goes from here.

Thanks so much to Jordan Burton III, Diana Yoshida , and David Yoshida for committing so much time to our growth and success. We are truly grateful! Also thanks to Bryan Evans, Lucas Rubbo, and Javier Torres Mma for your contributions to our BJJ journey through the years as well! #ntxmma @dyoshi132 @ladydi_09 @jordan_the3rd @ntxmma by @jordan_the3rd

I had an amazing time at the Neil Adams Seminar featuring Hisayoshi Harasawa. It’s not everyday 2, Olympic Silver Medallist and the Voice of Judo (IJF), Neil Adams, is in your city; I had to be there. Both put on an amazing clinic and I learned plenty. Thanks Eastside Dojo for hosting this clinic, the amazing judokas who brought great energy and desire to learn, and God for all the years of health and ability to too. #judo #jitakyoei #seiryokuzenyo #jigorokano #dallastexas taken in Eastside Dojo by @jordan_the3rd

Parents of combat sports kids — let’s talk food.

One of the biggest things that affects a young athlete’s performance isn’t talent…

It’s what they’re eating every day.

Too many kids are going to practice on:
❌ junk snacks
❌ not enough water
❌ little to no real fuel

If your child trains hard, they need:
✅ protein
✅ carbs
✅ hydration
✅ consistency

And most importantly…

No crash diets. No weight cutting. No shortcuts.
They are kids first, athletes second.

A well-fed athlete will almost always train better, recover better, and compete better.

👇 Parents — what’s the hardest part about keeping your athlete eating healthy?
Busy schedules? Picky eating? Fast food? Grocery costs?

Drop it in the comments 👇

Behind every young competitor is a parent carrying more than most people will ever understand.

Combat sports don’t just develop kids…they shape entire families.

The wins are amazing, but the lessons built through adversity, discipline, sacrifice, and support are what really matter.

If you’re raising a young athlete, just know — your role matters more than you think.
