What a weekend at Outlaw Martial Arts Academy. Huge thanks to Professor Mike Lance and Coach Lijia for opening their school and allowing me to share the Relentless approach with such a great group.

Mike, the Outlaws, and I share one goal: making sure people have the confidence and skills to defend themselves and those they care about. That’s what this training is really about.

Grateful to Master Carlos Machado and the CMJJ Association, Professor Scott Fitzpatrick, Professor John, Coach David from Mythic Martial Arts, Professor Jordan from Gracie Barra, every Outlaw student who trained, and my wife for always supporting the journey.

I can’t wait to be back in Ottawa. DM me to bring the Relentless approach to your academy.

Ottawa showed up tonight — and the kids at Outlaw Martial Arts Academy brought the energy!

Always a great time teaching the students of Professor Mike Lance and Lijia Logan and blending my Relentless approach, the Machado Method, and some Outlaw style — great technique, real self-defense, confidence, and fun.

Huge thanks to the Machado Association, Master Carlos Machado, every parent who got their kids on the mats, and my wife for always supporting me.

Want the Relentless approach at your academy? DM me for kids, adult, or full-school seminars in Canada, the U.S., and internationally.

RELENTLESS ISN’T A SLOGAN. IT’S A WAY OF LIFE! 👊🔥

Day one of the Machado Method Summit proved exactly that! My dear friend and older brother, Mr. Peters, continues to defy the odds! After a debilitating stroke and serious health battles, he STILL stepped on the mats to test for his next degree on his black belt! THAT’S HEART! Special thanks to Professor Eddie Avelar for evaluating him!

Huge thanks to Master Carlos Machado, Lindsay Machado, Roger Perez, and everyone who made today possible! Proud of Coaches Anthony Sanchez, Josh Fisher, Anthony Hudson, and Ashley Hudson!

Keep challenging yourself, inspire others, and NEVER STOP GROWING! THAT’S THE RELENTLESS WAY! 🥋 #RelentlessWithBrad #MachadoMethod #BJJSeminars taken in Soka Suites Dallas - Las Colinas by @relentlesswithbrad

No-gi back escapes are something you should never stop working on. There’s more than one way out, and this is just one option—but the real lesson is learning to stay calm, understand the position, create space, and keep moving until you recover.

Great work today at The Black Dog Jiu-Jitsu Company on Tuesday with my assistant coach Brian. That’s the Relentless approach: keep training, keep sharpening the details, and never assume you’ve learned enough. The more situations you prepare for in training, the better you’ll respond when it matters.

Keep escaping. Keep evolving. Stay Relentless.

Happy Saturday morning — set the standard early. Don’t let the weekend become an excuse to fall off your strength and conditioning. Today is about moving, moving, moving: kettlebell swings, snatch-to-squats, step-ups, box jumps, and alternating-hand kettlebell swings. Run it 3–4 rounds, keeping each superset to about 1–2 minutes with limited rest.

Start your Saturday with purpose and set yourself up for success. Build strength. Build conditioning. Stay ready. Stay Relentless.

Monday inspiration can come from anywhere. Today, mine came from my friend and student, Ken Willingham. At 79 years young, Ken told me I inspire him to get up and get after his workouts — so today’s Relentless workout is dedicated to him.

Movement, conditioning, and drive matter whether you’re staying capable as you age or competing at a high level. Today: lunges, step-ups, jump rope, one-arm deadlifts, and bench press — supersets, about 2 minutes per round, 3–4 rounds, limited rest, done in under 20 minutes.

We all go through things. The key is to keep moving, keep showing up, and keep building yourself one day at a time. Stay Relentless. #RelentlessWithBrad #FitnessOver40 #FunctionalFitness #MondayMotivation #PrivateTraining taken in Beaverton, Oregon by @relentlesswithbrad

Great kids programs build more than technique — they build confidence, focus, discipline, and a love for training.

That’s exactly what I enjoyed seeing at Badlands Jiu-Jitsu in Dickinson, North Dakota. I had the chance to share my Relentless approach blended with the Machado methodology, helping the kids learn practical skills, sharpen the details, and have fun while doing it.

Huge thanks to EJ and Chelsea Shrauger for hosting me, to every parent who brought their child out to train, and to my wife for always supporting the journey. I’m already looking forward to coming back in a couple of months and seeing how much these kids continue to grow.

If you’re in the Dickinson area, check out Badlands Jiu-Jitsu. If you’d like to bring a Relentless kids seminar to your academy — in the U.S. or internationally — send me a DM.

Get up. Get moving. Get your work in.

You don’t always need heavy weights or complicated equipment to build a strong, capable body. Bodyweight training—push-ups, squats, lunges, crawls, planks, and movement drills—teaches you to control your own body, move better, and build strength that carries over into everyday life, martial arts, and self-defense.

Train to move yourself. Train to handle life. Stay Relentless.

The technique may be the same — but the details each student needs are different.

That’s one of the things I appreciate about teaching at Davis Martial Arts with Coach Cameron Davis. The school’s one-on-one style of coaching gives every student the attention they need to understand the details and continue to grow.

That approach lines up perfectly with the Master Carlos Machado methodology I’ve learned over the years and the Relentless mindset I bring to every class, private lesson, and seminar: train smart, understand the why behind the technique, make the right adjustments, and keep evolving.

Train with purpose. Learn the details. Stay humble. Stay Relentless.

DM me for private training, seminars, or academy instruction.

Toughness isn’t just taking pressure — it’s staying calm, moving with purpose, and having enough left to turn the situation around.

That’s the Relentless mentality: train your escapes so that when competition or life puts you in a bad position, you don’t panic. You create space, recover, and keep going.

Don’t just survive the position — escape it and be ready to win the next exchange.

DM me for private training, classes, or seminars.
