Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Modesto

Drill night.... Leave it all on the mat tonight.... #killit #reapanddestroy #fearthereaper

It’s all about perspective and desire.... It’s as simple as that.... #neverstop

It’s Monday.... What are you doing tonight?

From day 1, my philosophy was simple: you can’t build your temple in a day.... Day by day, brick by brick and stone by stone, we kept building.... After a month, we were a foot high.... After a year or two, we needed a ladder.... And now, 6 years later?! We are kissing the clouds.... What will tomorrow bring?! Who knows.... But....with this team, this family?!!? I look forward to glancing down at the stars real soon. #cgmodesto #charlesgracie #graciejiujitsu #reapanddestroy #killit #fearthereaper

What you do in preperation means just as much as you do in battle. What you do in the spotlight only reflects what you do in the shadows....

To all of those who have served, and are serving our country, we salute you. Thank you for your service and all of the sacrifices you have made for us all. You are the true meaning of the word HERO.

Happy Birthday to Grandmaster Robson Gracie. Much love and respect. Ossss....

For Professor Sean Carroll....

Today, our network lost a special person. Professor Sean Carroll was a 3rd Degree Black Belt under Master Charles Gracie and one of the funniest people you’d ever have the chance to meet. Rest easy, my Brother. Until we meet again....

Drill Night craziness.... Love our Thursdays. Way to end a great week.

To all of our Charles Gracie family and friends, have a safe and happy Halloween.

Monday Night Fundamentals.... Looking good, guys. Great way to start the week.

What an awesome day on the mats. Love seeing the mat full for each and every class. This whole week has been fantastic. New faces, old faces, all leaving it out on the mat. We have a great team and I am proud of each and every one of you. Back at it Saturday and then we get to donit all over again. Keep it up.

Tonight is what we call: Drill Night. My 5 and 6 pm classes?!? Be ready.... It’s time to turn it up a notch. Let’s do it!

Congratulations to all of those who received their promotions today. As coaches, we are all proud of all the hard work our kids put in. Also, big congratulations to our newest Black Belt, Scott Case. Thank you all for the time and effort you put in and to the Parents, who make the sacrifices to make sure their kids show up and are ready to train each and every day. It’s a team effort, and we are all very proud of our team.

I miss my Thursday night madness.... #drilltokill #reapanddestroy #fearthereaper #killit

Amen to this. Solve your own problems. That’s what we do every day we are on the mat.

Never Forget....

Wishing the best to all of our students getting back into the school routine, no matter how different or difficult it is. Listen, focus, study, learn.... Just as in class: what you take the time to learn will always be an extra tool in your arsenal. Better to know something and not need it than to need something and not know it. To all my teacher students and friends: You are the best. Thank you for all that you do, all that you put up with and all the sacrifices you make on a daily basis. You are true heroes and we wish you the best. Much respect!

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.....

Happy Birthday to coach Chris Wrenn. Hope you’re having a great day.

Hear that?!? It’s the mat calling your name. It’s Monday! Best day of the week to train. Come and sweat out the weekend and all the Monday blues. No excuses.

Happy Birthday to Master Charles Gracie. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication and patience through the years. Have a great day, Sir.
