A safe & welcoming environment to learn self defense, and get in shape. 

This program is exclusively designed to help people who feel:

Unhappy about their physical health and appearance 

They’ve waited long enough and are willing to break the cycle and commit.

Unprepared to protect themselves and their loved ones during conflict 

So that they can:

Master the fundamentals of self defense techniques proven in real world scenarios 

Build outstanding confidence and mental resilience on and off the mat

Improve flexibility, strength, and all-around health 

More Than a Program… It’s Family!

A space built for people who want to fight for their health, confidence and families.


You’ll move forward with a small group of beginners, all starting from scratch. 

Week after week, you’ll grow stronger, physically, mentally, and as a team.


And by the end, you’ll feel more confident handling conflict, and more importantly, you’ll want to keep going.


Because once you’ve built real connections and momentum…


showing up feels less like effort, and more like coming home.


This is the kind of environment that makes you WANT to level up, not just for 10 weeks, but for LIFE.

Coach Mark started teaching jiu jitsu in Richmond back in 2009.


He earned his black belt under 5x World Champion Eduardo Rocha, a direct student of Royler Gracie.


After years of study, he returned home to Oakley, not to open a franchise, but to build something real.


Growth Mindset Collective was born in a garage and has grown into a full academy inside Raley’s Center.


But our roots haven’t changed:


This is jiu jitsu for people who want more.

If you’re someone who truly wants to change, and ready to commit for just 10 weeks, I will help you enter that “new era”.

Over the years, I’ve seen 2 kinds of people:


The ones who show up… feel that fire again. They sweat. They grow. And they never want to go back.


And then there are the ones who keep waiting.

  • Until they lose weight first. 
  • Until the right time.
  • Until they “feel ready.”


But the truth is… they never start.

And months or years later, they’re still sitting in the same spot, wishing they had.


Spots are filling and limited, and once they’re full, registration closes until next time.
