In December 2023, Coach Colleen and I made the decision to venture out on our own and open Underdog Martial Arts. After months of hard work, Underdog officially opened its doors to the public in June 2024.

As with any new business, we faced our fair share of unexpected challenges, setbacks—and even a natural disaster (we're looking at you, Helene!). But we’re proud to say: we’ve made it through our first year!

This success isn’t just ours—it belongs to every single person who has walked through our doors. We are truly grateful for the incredible community that has come together and grown with us, and we’re excited to see what the future holds.

Join us on June 14th for a full day of celebration and community!

• We’ll kick things off at 9 a.m. with a two-hour No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu seminar led by our friend Eli Knight, followed by a one-hour open mat.

• At 12 p.m., Alexa Conners will teach an MMA seminar on setting up takedowns with striking.

• Afterward, we’ll fire up the grill for a BBQ Potluck—we’ll provide the BBQ, and you can sign up at the gym to bring your favorite side dish, dessert, or appetizer.

Let’s celebrate an amazing year together—we couldn’t have done it without you! Members, please sign up using the member app. For those of you joining us, please sign up using the links below to reserve your spot for EACH of the workshops you plan to attend.
With Gratitude,
-Coach Brian
