Hello everyone! I’m Ryan Chroninger and I own Idahome Jiu-Jitsu in Caldwell, Idaho. I started training in 2006 at Ft. Knox, KY. I earned my blue and purple belt from Keith Owen at Team Rhino and my brown and black belt from Sam Campanella at 208 Jiu-Jitsu. I retire from the military on Wednesday, October 21st after 29 years and I play the cowbell!

Team, what is everyone schedules like over the weekends for maybe a hour jam session? In general? Wanted to get something on the calendar for us and we can get organized and start sharing with one another. Once we get a time we can figure out our first topic.

I’m Nick Kugelman, co-owner of SYSTEM JIU-JITSU in Meridian, Idaho. I started training in 2004 and earned my black belt in 2015. I started this group because I want to get better at running an academy. I’m here to share what we’re trying, learn from other owners, and work through the challenges of building a profitable business together. We all need training partners. The business side is no different. Let’s get to know each other. Drop a comment with: 1. Your name 2. When you started training 3. Your current rank 4. The name of your gym 5. Where you’re located Glad you’re here. Let’s build something useful together.

Hey!! My name is Maylean Johnson. I started training in 2016. I got my black belt in February of this year under Cristiano Ribeiro. I’m co-owner of J-Crew BJJ in Hyrum, UT. Excited to trade thoughts and ideas with other gym others!
