So many of my cherished friends come through my life as a dog man, and one of them being my buddy @justinmelnick , you might recognize him from the series SEAL Team! He played the dog handler. Justin and I worked together on the film @heartofthebeast in New Zealand. Here we are in Nashville, TN out hitting the town with the “Usual Suspects” and my daughter Gracie! Good to see Justin again, so much fun’

"We were interested in a character whose feelings are bottled up and suppressed and in how social media can create an incentive for exploitation that can be more attractive than and/or override the sanctity of real life friendships"⁠

A woman's frustrations boil to the surface while hosting a party for her friends, culminating in a public freakout that turns into collective hysteria.⁠

"Rather than explicitly exposing our obsessive relationship with phones and social media, the 14-minute drama barely features these tools and instead focuses on the human behaviour that is a result of our interaction with them. Grounded by a captivating lead performance by Whitney Able, who co-wrote the film with Morais and Eberl, We Won’t Forget is an increasingly uncomfortable watch, the nuances of which are so subtle they could easily be missed." - S/W Curator, @serafimovaserafima⁠

Just one month ago, these little warriors stepped onto the mats for the very first time. Today, we are amazed by how much they have grown!

They are learning to sit quietly, follow directions, listen to their professor and coaches, respect their teammates, and most importantly, build confidence in themselves. The way they adapt, learn new skills, and absorb techniques at such a young age is truly incredible.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is so much more than self-defense, t’s about developing focus, discipline, respect, and resilience that will benefit them both on and off the mats.

We couldn’t be prouder of our Tiny Warriors and the progress they’ve made in such a short time. ❤️

Our Tiny Warrior program is currently full, but we are now accepting names for our waiting list and look forward to adding more Tiny Warrior classes to our schedule in the near future!

Message us to join the waiting list and give your little one the opportunity to become part of our Fortaleza family.

Our Jr. Warriors are more than just students—they are our future.

Every day, we have the privilege of watching these incredible kids grow stronger, more confident, and more resilient both on and off the mats. Through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they learn valuable life skills such as discipline, respect, perseverance, teamwork, and self-confidence that will serve them for years to come.

At Fortaleza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we’re not just teaching techniques—we’re helping shape future leaders. Every class is an opportunity for our Jr. Warriors to overcome challenges, build character, and discover what they’re truly capable of achieving.

The confidence they gain on the mats carries into the classroom, at home, and throughout their daily lives. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a child believe in themselves and realize their own potential.

If you’re looking for an activity that develops both physical skills and strong character, we’d love to welcome your child to our Jr. Warrior family.

Come see why so many families choose Fortaleza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to help their children grow, thrive, and succeed.
