Upcoming tournaments in the area:  

Students are not required to participate in tournament events.  However, as students build knowledge and experience, participating in a tournament is a great way to test your skills and learn where you may need to focus on improvements. Plus, it is fun to participate in a tournament as a team and represent the Leake BJJ family!

NEWS:

• Congratulations to Zach Shaw for his accomplishments at the recent Fuji tournament in Springdale, AR.  We love when our students (and coaches) test their skill at tournament level and come home with hardware. Zach brought home the silver in no-gi. Great job, Zach!

• Congratulations to our recent competitors, who attended the Submission Challenge tournament in Kansas City. Purple belt and instructor, Chris Leavelle, took GOLD in the absolute division and his son, Michael, took BRONZE.  Way to represent us well!

• Be sure to check out the current class schedule.  A new schedule was published effective August 28, 2023 to add even more training opportunities for our youth program!
