From Reluctant Start to Black Belt How Elevated Jiu Jitsu Became a Community

📄 Podcast + YouTube Description

In this episode of That Delaware Podcast, we sit down with Renee from Elevated Jiu Jitsu to talk about building a business, raising a family, and creating a community centered around growth, discipline, and connection.

Renee shares how a chance meeting at a Preston and Steve event led to her marriage and eventually the creation of Elevated Jiu Jitsu in Trolley Square. From leaving a teaching career to opening a studio just blocks from home, she walks us through the journey of building something meaningful alongside her husband.

We also dive into what makes their studio so different, from character development and leadership training to creating an inclusive environment for kids and adults of all personalities and abilities.
