Some folks say they don’t have the time to train but come Friday night their gram tells a whole different story. Just goes to show, if it’s important to you, you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll just find another excuse. Couldn’t be prouder of this team! #AccountabilityMoment #AcademyJJKB #Downey #Kickboxing #CheckMat #Fitness

#3YearAnniversary How it started vs. How it’s going. 3 years ago on this date we revealed our secret passion project ACADEMY to the world. Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined accomplishing so much in such a short amount of time. After just one year we captured our Kids California State Jiu-Jitsu title as a team. No easy feat with so many amazing schools in California. After a year in a half we were still in our honeymoon phase. Then bam! COVID hit and tested ...the heart and will of our small but fierce and determined little team. Through hard work and grace we were able to not just rebuild our program but to now have the opportunity to change lives through martial arts by way of two amazing locations with the addition of our incredible new Headquarters location in North Downey. Whether you call ACADEMY home or whether you’ve just been supporting us with kind words from a distance, we thank you all for always believing in us and continuing to have our backs. Just keep in mind. We’re not done. Guess you can say We’ve only just begun. #AcademyJiuJitsu #ToTheMoon #DowneyCa #CheckMat #JiuJitsu #Kickboxing

#WeAreCheckMat During these difficult times we must find some inspiration to bring us together. Our jiu jitsu schools are in need of help and we must do all we can to support our professors and fellow classmates. Malú, with the help from Academy, BJJ Tees and Checkmat, has come up with a few designs for a new fundraiser to help our BJJ schools. https://www.bjjtees.com/checkmat We're all in this together. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are better. Together, we are Checkmat. #AcademyJJ #CheckMatDowney

Checkout this video from our 12-Week Jiu-Jitsu Bootcamp designed to take you or your child from square 1 to competition ready in 12 weeks. The problem with most fundamentals systems is that it’s either too specific or too random with no clear defined outcomes associated for someone just getting started. We’re here to make Jiu-Jitsu clear and concise so you have answers and rebuttals for this awesome game of Human-Chess #ACADEMYJJ #JiuJitsu

Malú discusses the inspiration behind her design of the new Academy T-Shirt/GIF Fun Fact: Everytime this video gets a like a baby Bald Eagle takes flight for the first time #ProudAmerican #Happy4thOfJuly #AcademyJiuJitsu

One of the best things any of my coaches ever told me was Enjoy the journey. I wasn’t sure what he meant by that as I struggled just any white belt would to learn to apply techniques and concepts. Now I realize it was all about appreciating the fellowship we get to experience with our teammates as we challenge each other to grow together physically, mentally and spiritually on and off the mats. I wish for you all to #EnjoyTheJourney - Hector Beltran

Thank you to everyone who helped share, watch, like, comment and subscribe to our Documentary Non-Essential.

We would like to give a very special recognition to Andrew Oliva for taking home the gold medal in his division at the very last Jiu-Jitsu World League tournament before everything shut down. We couldn’t be prouder of the hard work, dedication and great attitude he brings every time he steps on the mat. Let’s keep working hard and getting ready for the battles ahead #AcademyJJ #DowneyCa
