Evolution of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. November 2007 
Original Space!! Getting it ready. Joy (the person who keeps the doors open) is behind the camera.
The finished product.
Waiting for our first customer. Dan, Jonathan's first student and TBJJA's first customer. He is a huge asset to the gym.
Two fixtures around the academy. Todd (black gi) is in his 50's and competed in the Pan-American Championships. Jason (white gi) has lost an incredible 35lbs. He has done this by only training at the academy. Two amazing accomplishments by two great guys.
Our first three kids. It is really awesome to see the progression. Kids love "Bulldog".
Validation of all the hard work. Several Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were the results from the 2008 NAGA Virginia tournament.
The person who makes all of this possible. That's her on the left.
