"Have Fun! Be a leader! Learn stuff!"

Hi, I'm Mason! I'm 9 years old and I love competing in jiu-jitsu! I've been training for about two years, and competing for about a year and a half now, and it's been an amazing journey so far. I started my jiu-jitsu journey at TFTC Academy in Clayton, NC when I was just 7 years old. I learned so much from my instructors and made some amazing friends along the way. When I got a little older, I decided to switch my homebase to Schell Shock in Fuquay Varina, NC. Both academies have become like a second home to me, and I love training with both teams. Recently, I've started taking MMA classes at Bull & Bear Gym in Fuquay Varina, NC. It's been a great challenge, and it's super fun! I'm learning all about striking and how to defend myself, which is really cool. One thing that's important to me is being a good sport. Even when I win or lose, I always try to be respectful and kind to my opponents. My parents are really proud of me for this, and I'm glad they're always there to support me. I love jiu-jitsu because it helps me feel strong and confident. It's also taught me some amazing skills that I can use in life, like how to work hard and persevere through tough times. And, of course, I get to compete and have fun with my friends!

Whether he's rolling on the mat or exploring new ideas, he embodies the spirit of our family motto: to have fun, be a leader, and learn as much as we can. - Dad
