Being a Native to Hawaii, Britt Emberton’s Jiu-Jitsu voyage began in 2008 at the age of 18, shortly after moving to Texas. She started coaching children, developing a passion for teaching and sharing the art. Later she joined the Air Force, where she did her time and welcomed her first child into the world. After returning home to Texas she was given the opportunity take over the very academy where her Jiu-Jitsu story began. Since then, she has dedicated herself to building and growing the academy’s program into what it is today—a place rooted in community, family, and passion. Our mission is to train future black belts who will carry on our legacy with honor, discipline, and heart. .... Denise Ponder is a passionate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner with six years of experience, balancing her roles as a work-from-home professional, homeschool mom, and devoted wife. Her love for the sport is deeply rooted in the supportive, family-like atmosphere of the gym, where she thrives both physically and mentally. Denise is especially committed to uplifting fellow Jiu-Jitsu moms and inspiring youth and teens as they grow in the sport. Her journey reflects a powerful blend of dedication, encouragement, and community spirit—making her a valued presence on and off the mats. ....
