Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Congratulations to Samantha Koch on earning her Warrior Way Kids Junior Black Belt! Samantha has worked hard for many years to complete this goal. We are looking forward to her success as she continues to progress through our Youth Jiu Jitsu and Youth Muay Thai programs.

Warrior Way prides itself on promoting the student-athlete mentality throughout our programs. As the school year comes to an end we would like to honor all of our Little Warrior and Warrior Way Kids students who completed the year on the honor roll. Please provide proof to Mr. Brandon this week to receive your patch!

The Master World Championships 2017 are just around the corner taking place on August 24^th-26^th 2017. The registration is filling up faster than expected and will likely close soon.

AUGUST 5th – Wyandotte, Michigan.

3rd degree Caique Jiu Jitsu black belt Angelo Popofski will step back into the cage one last time as a pro MMA fighter when King Of the Cage makes its way back to Michigan on August 5th, 2017. This will be Angelo’s 26th professional fight in a career that began in 1999. Joining Angelo in pro MMA action will be standout Marco Smallman, who continues to make an undefeated run at a world title.

The card will also feature: Avan Bashi, who is coming off an exciting knockout in his amateur debut, as well as Nicholas Shammami and Anthony Wong who will be stepping into the cage for the first time in their MMA careers. All three amateurs have experienced success in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments and, as instructor Matee Tongbua’s top Muay Thai students, Avan and Nicholas are also experienced strikers and will look to combine their skills in the cage.
