2017 Off to a Great Start!

March 6, 2017 By Insight BJJ

Wow! 2017 has been very good for the Insight Family! We’ve been fortunate enough to have some great opportunities presented to us and those haven’t gone wasted!

In the first week of January; Coach Alex Henley, his son Grayson, and blue belt student David Altgelt were all on the Pro BJJ event, Texas Submission Hunter 8. Alex and Grayson had impressive submission wins over their opponents, and David had a dominant performance that ended in a draw.

Then in February, Coach Alex and Grayson competed at IBJJF Houston (Grayson’s first time since he was just promoted to blue belt in January) where they both took gold in their divisions AND the absolute divisions, respectively.

In early March, Coach Alex competed at his next pro event, Fight 2 Win Pro 27 (the big show) against judo black belt/BJJ brown belt, Dagoberto Chapa, where Alex had a quick and dominant match that began with a take down. You can watch the end of the match here: Alex’s Bow and Arrow Choke finish at #F2WPro27 (over 13k views in 2 days!)

To top it off, we had some great results at the next day’s tournament. And with only 6 competitors, made the top 10 teams list!! Great job Team Insight! Keep up the good work!

Chad is an amazing coach who has expert knowledge and skills. Chad ensures inclusion for all of his students. My son... has unique qualities that do not allow him to physically perform with the same strength of other students. Chad has ensured all students are aware of his unique needs so he remains safe while performing and free of injury. All of the other students have ensured including my son and treating him as a peer and ensuring he feels like part of the team. This has allowed Kaleb to improve socialization skills, confidence, and motor skills as well as get exercise! Thank you BJJ for ensuring a place where he can learn and grow while learning skills to protect himself if ever needed!read more

I've been training with this organization for over a year with a focus on striking with boxing classes and private Muay... Thai lessons. The environment is very supportive with serious workouts in the striking classes and technical instruction. The training is competition oriented including sparring although only some train to compete. I am self defense oriented and appreciate the sparring that gives me a real world feel unlike pure self defense classes I've taken that don't do sparring. Sparring is not mandatory if that isn't an interest.read more
