Grand Valley BJJ Manifesto

A Statement from the Head Coach

Grand Valley BJJ was built on the belief that Jiu-Jitsu is more than techniques and belts—it is a system for building capable humans. The same principles that create success on the mat create success in business, family, and life.

This manifesto is not marketing language. It is our operating system. It defines how we train, how we treat each other, and how we respond under pressure. If you train here, you are expected to pursue mastery, take responsibility, and play the long game.

This room is for people who value discipline over excuses, pressure over panic, and growth over comfort.

— Head Coach, Grand Valley BJJ

1. Own the Position – We take responsibility for our results. Outcomes are created by positions we accept or allow. If something isn’t working, we improve the position. Ownership is power.

2. Systems Beat Moments – We value consistency over hype. Success is built through daily reps, fundamentals, and systems that hold under pressure.

3. Pressure Over Time – We apply patient, intelligent pressure. We advance position by position until resistance breaks. Calm pressure wins.

4. Focus Creates Leverage – We train with intent. We avoid distraction and build depth. Focus multiplies effort.

5. Technique Before Strength – We prioritize leverage, timing, and efficiency over ego and brute force. Skill scales. Technique lasts.

6. Adapt or Get Passed – We stay curious and evolving. Stagnation is the only failure.

7. Longevity Is the Goal – We protect our bodies, teammates, and culture. We train hard today so we can still train years from now.

Our Commitment:

We train with humility. We respect the room. We raise the standard.

Grand Valley BJJ is more than a gym. It’s a proving ground. It’s a long game.

Train with purpose. Lead by example.
