THAT’S A WRAP!

We had such an awesome time leveling up our takedowns with Victoria Anthony a couple of weeks ago! Her attention to detail, energetic instruction, and genuine passion for sharing her knowledge were absolutely unmatched.

Both sessions were filled with students of all ages and experience levels, and everyone in attendance took home countless game-changing details, valuable wrestling concepts, and memories that will last for years to come.

Events like these are what make our martial arts community so special. Bringing together wrestlers, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, coaches, parents, and athletes from across DFW creates opportunities to learn from world-class competitors while building lasting relationships.

Thank you to everyone who attended one (or BOTH!) of the sessions, and to the incredible Coppell Wrestling team for hosting this special opportunity for the DFW wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu communities.

And thank you, of course, to Victoria! There are countless ways to describe the experience, but the best one is simply FUN. It’s been said that doing what you love is a blessing, but sharing what you love is a gift. Thank you for sharing yours.

At CTA Irving, we believe that learning never stops. Opportunities to train with elite athletes help our students continue to grow both on and off the mats while reinforcing our philosophy that technique, hard work, and community go hand in hand.

Over the past few years, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has EXPLODED in popularity as a great way to get in shape, learn how to defend yourself, and make some amazing new friends in the process. It’s about more than just getting strong…it’s learning a skill, developing confidence, and training your brain and body to perform under pressure.

The best part is that you’ve already taken the most difficult step – finding a place to call your Jiu-Jitsu home. First and foremost, it’s important that you feel safe when you’re on the mat. At CTA Irving, you’ll find a clean, professional, and welcoming environment where beginners feel comfortable and our experienced students stay challenged. All of our classes are taught in an organized, logical progression to help you learn the Fundamentals and your coaches and teammates are there to help you succeed every step of the way.

You don’t need to be athletic, flexible, or already in shape to get started—just willing to learn.

Please call/text (972) 674-9770 or email collin@bjjirving.com to schedule your first visit with us. We look forward to meeting you and seeing you on the mats!

This year’s Teamsgiving party was truly one for the books! There’s something special about gathering with teammates outside of training, where the vibe shifts from drills and sparring to laughs, games, and pure fun.

We kicked things off with plenty of food and we couldn’t have picked a better location than JC’s Burger Bar in Coppell. Our very own Taylor Kuhia manages JC’s and surprised us all with some delicious Kalua Pork and Rice to sample and share. By the end of the night, there were a lot of empty plates and happy faces, which is always a win.

Our first highlight, though, had to be our WILD Elephant gift exchange. If you’ve never played, it’s part strategy, part chaos, and all fun. Gifts ranged from unique and creative to outright hilarious (Nick’s autographed photo looks great at the gym). People were plotting trades, swiping gifts, and trying to hold their poker faces as the “good” ones got snatched back and forth.

After the exchange, we dove into a game that had everyone rolling and attracted the attention of everyone around us. We tested our balance, strength, and flexibility as we took turns trying to pick up a paper sack with our teeth, and the competition was just as fierce as it is on the mats! Congrats to Antonio, Miguel, Ale & Manny on the FOUR-WAY tie to Win!

By the end of the night, the energy was high, and the camaraderie felt even stronger. It’s always great to remember that while we train hard together, we also celebrate each other just as hard. Already looking forward to next year’s goals, accomplishments, and of course TEAMSGIVING 2025!
