BEHIND EVERY MOVEMENT IS SOMEONE MAKING SURE ITS STORY IS SEEN 🎥

Introducing the Lock Out League Pro Media Director: @mayan.films

For nearly 13 years, Mayan has been behind the camera documenting my journey—from my first solo workout video to the most recent Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival.

But his contribution extends far beyond one person or one event.

He captured our first community event, documented our international championship, and has consistently covered calisthenics competitions, workouts, outings, and gatherings throughout the tri-state area.

If something is happening within the local calisthenics community, chances are Mayan is there—recording it, uploading it, and making sure the people and moments receive the recognition they deserve.

His page has become the community’s local news channel: a place where athletes can see what is happening, who is putting in work, and how the culture continues to grow.

There are countless cameras and production crews, but capturing the true essence of this sport requires more than equipment. It requires history, trust, timing, and a genuine connection to the people in front of the lens.

That is what separates Mayan.

He doesn’t simply record the community from the outside. He supports it, participates in it, and gets his own reps in alongside the athletes he documents.

Long before the Lock Out League Pro had national rankings, multiple cities, or a championship road, @mayan.films was already preserving the journey.

Now, he will help bring the 2027 season to life—one city, one athlete, and one defining moment at a time.

THE STORY IS BIGGER. THE LENS IS READY. THE ROAD TO #1 WILL BE DOCUMENTED. 🎬

Thank you! @mayan.films.

THE OFFICIATING TEAM IS COMPLETE. 🔒

Welcome our final League Official: @jacob_t_king

Jacob enters the Lock Out League Pro with legitimate championship credentials and the experience of an undefeated competitor.

Representing Lake Station, Indiana, Jacob captured the UFCL Lightweight Championship and continues to hold the title. His competitive journey has taken him from Coney Island to Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Miami twice—without suffering a defeat.

Behind that record is an elite freestyle athlete who has reached advanced levels of strength, body control, and technical execution. He understands what athletes experience under pressure because he has stood in that position himself—and succeeded.

Beyond his athletic ability, Jacob carries the mindset, professionalism, and positive character needed to represent the sport across every community.

As he recovers from surgery and prepares for his own competitive return, he now brings his championship experience and trained eye to the Lock Out League Pro officiating team.

Undefeated competitor. Proven champion. Qualified official.

Welcome to the team, @jacob_t_king

THE STANDARD IS SET. THE OFFICIATING TEAM IS READY.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES

Next up: @adrianmelo_

With approximately two years of training behind him, Adrian has already established himself as an athlete committed to the long run—not temporary recognition.

His greatest competition has never been the person standing across from him.

It has always been the athlete he was yesterday.

Even when facing an opponent, Adrian’s mindset remains centered on self-improvement. He loves the sport, embraces every opportunity to test himself, and measures success by his ability to continue progressing.

That mentality has already produced results.

Adrian enters the 2027 season with an undefeated 3–0 battle record, including notable victories over the advertised King of Houston and a 24-hour muscle-up world-record holder.

Those victories demonstrated that while he may still be early in his journey, he is already capable of performing against established and accomplished athletes.

But Adrian is not satisfied with remaining where he is.

He aspires to compete throughout Europe and Latin America—and one day earn the opportunity to represent himself on a major stage in Mexico. For him, the Lock Out League Pro season represents another step toward that larger vision.

He is not entering to prove that he is better than one particular opponent.

He is entering to discover how much better he can become.

Two years built the foundation. An undefeated record proved the potential. Now the long game begins.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES

Next up: @damessiah24

Born and raised in Brooklyn, DAMESSIAH enters the 2027 season with 10 years of training experience and a foundation built through discipline, consistency, and old-school hard work.

He is a father first—but when it is time to train, he brings the mentality of an athlete who understands that progress must be earned.

That discipline was displayed when he completed 1,000 push-ups a day for 30 consecutive days—a demanding challenge requiring physical endurance, mental toughness, and the willingness to show up and perform regardless of fatigue.

DAMESSIAH trains with the I AM POWER Calisthenics Team, a camp known for strict form, advanced movements, and a hard-nosed approach to training. Athletes developed in that environment are taught to respect every repetition, control every movement, and meet the standard without searching for shortcuts.

That foundation has helped him develop the strength, technique, body control, and advanced abilities necessary to compete at the professional level.

He may be entering a new chapter, but he is not arriving unprepared.

A decade of experience is behind him. The discipline has already been tested. The tools have already been sharpened.

Now it is time to see what happens when that old-school Brooklyn training is placed against some of the most complete athletes in the country.

Next up: @powerfulrahh

Born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn, Powerful Rahh has spent years building the strength, discipline, and body control required to compete at the professional level.

He may not enter the 2027 season with a championship résumé, but his foundation was not built overnight.

With 15 years of training experience, Rahh has put in the hours expected of any champion. His approach has always centered on strict form, clean repetitions, disciplined technique, and complete control of every movement.

In 2017, he completed 1,000 pull-ups in under four hours at Lincoln Terrace Park for World Pull-Up Day—an achievement that demonstrated his physical endurance, mental toughness, and willingness to push beyond ordinary limits. 🏅

His abilities extend across reps and sets, freestyle, strength, and body control. That versatility has allowed him to develop into a multitalented athlete equipped with the tools necessary to compete on the professional stage.

Outside of competition, he is a father first and a hardworking maintenance professional. Inside the arena, he brings the same consistency, focus, and discipline that have guided him throughout his life.

The résumé may still be developing.

The experience, strength, and preparation are already there.

Now Powerful Rahh has the opportunity to turn years of work into results—and prove that belonging is not determined by what is written on paper, but by what an athlete can deliver when the competition begins.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @alloffthegrind.fitness_

Kaprice Cotton enters the 2027 season with only 18 months of calisthenics experience—but his strict form, advanced skills, and rapid development show an athlete who belongs alongside the rest of this field.

Although he has yet to compete professionally, Kaprice has already tested himself at the local level. At the King of Chicago battle event, he won three battles and finished in first place. 🥇

His strength is his balance.

Kaprice does not prioritize developing one area far beyond the others. He has worked to become an all-around athlete with the strength, endurance, skills, and control needed to respond to different challenges.

The professional stage will be new, but the ability is already present.

Now he has the opportunity to prove that his strict execution, high skill level, and advanced attributes can produce success against some of the country’s top complete athletes.

His aspirations extend beyond winning. Kaprice wants to become a professional calisthenics champion while eventually coaching athletes around the world through calisthenics, health, and mentorship—using what he learns to help create meaningful change in the lives of others.

Eighteen months built the foundation.

The 2027 season will reveal how far that foundation can carry him.

Next up: @baki_will

The youngest athlete in the field enters the 2027 season with battle experience, competition experience, and a Team USA International Championship gold medal already attached to his name.

Baki also won the 32 Aztecas U.S. Qualifier, earning his opportunity to travel to Mexico and compete on the international stage.

His speed, explosive power, endurance, and relentless energy have consistently made him a heavily regarded favorite heading into competition. Behind those physical gifts is an elite skill set covering the disciplines required to compete as a complete athlete.

He possesses the ability to generate power quickly, maintain his pace under pressure, and adapt when competition demands more than one strength. That combination makes him a serious threat throughout a season designed to expose one-dimensional competitors.

The youngest competitor may also be one of the most dangerous.

The rest will be revealed when it is time to compete.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @ralphbakes

Ralph may be a newer name in competitive calisthenics, but he enters the Lock Out League Pro with a strong athletic foundation and the early results to show that he belongs.

After 12 years of training, Ralph has spent the past two years focused strictly on calisthenics—developing his strength, endurance, static holds, body control, and reps-and-sets abilities.

He began competing in 2026 and immediately made his presence felt:

🏆 Winter WARZ Champion
🥈 Second place across every category in his weight class at the Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival
🏆 Bar Warz 9 One-on-One Winner

His ability to perform in both reps and sets and static strength makes him more than a one-dimensional competitor. He possesses the range, work ethic, and determination needed to push beyond his limitations and overcome the challenges placed before him.

Just as importantly, Ralph has displayed tremendous sportsmanship throughout his young competitive career. He respects the competition, remains committed to improving, and continues stepping forward whenever his abilities are tested.

Now he is taking the next step—entering a league without weight classes and preparing to challenge some of the most complete athletes in the country.

A newer competitor with proven ability, a growing résumé, and plenty still to show.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @1yahsta

1YAHSTA enters the 2027 season with proven Lock Out League experience, international competition credentials, and the determination to continue raising his level.

He delivered a strong performance during the first season of the Lock Out League Pro and has continued challenging himself on larger competitive stages. His talent and ability earned him an invitation to participate in the 32 Aztecas qualifying event in America, and he later represented Team USA against Canada at CIFR, becoming a Team USA International Champion.

He has also produced strong performances at the Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival, demonstrating that he is willing to compete wherever the challenge takes him.

His athletic foundation extends well beyond calisthenics. Experience in basketball, baseball, track, and bowling helped shape his coordination, competitive drive, discipline, and ability to adapt. Within calisthenics, his greatest weapons include powerful legs, high-level push-up endurance, and a mindset built around continuous improvement.

But perhaps his most important strength is his will.

He refuses to back down, remains hungry to improve, and believes his hard work will continue producing results. That attitude will be essential during a season designed to test far more than one exercise or specialty.

His ambitions also extend beyond personal success. 1YAHSTA wants to help push calisthenics toward greater global recognition, inspire more people to participate, and eventually establish his own youth calisthenics program—giving young people a positive outlet while helping them strengthen both their bodies and minds.

He has already proven that he can compete. Now he has the opportunity to bring his experience, athletic versatility, international confidence, and relentless drive together in pursuit of the league’s top position.
