In this special episode, Jeff and Hannah Vale share the behind-the-scenes journey of moving to Northeast Ohio and prepping for the grand opening Substructure Jiu Jitsu!

From searching for the perfect location and transforming a space, to laying down our first Fuji mats and then soft launching in "come on in tomorrow" style, we take you through every step of building our academy from the ground up. We're proud to be the first Caio Terra Association affiliation in Ohio! We couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our friends, family, and the jiu jitsu community—thank you all for your encouragement, hard work, and belief in our dream!

Special shout out to Fuji Mats for providing the best training surface in the business, and to everyone who helped us make Substructure Jiu Jitsu a reality. Whether you’re a seasoned grappler or brand new to the sport, we invite you to join us on the mats and become part of our growing family. We're building something special from the ground up!
