Relentless and Ready: Boston Jiu Jitsu Athletes Gear Up for June 22nd

Rolling deep in the art of control—another day of growth on the Boston Jiu Jitsu mats

At Back to Basics, commitment is more than just a buzzword—it’s a way of life. With the Tap Cancer Out No-Gi Tournament fast approaching on June 22nd, the martial arts team—especially the Back to Basics Boston Jiu Jitsu squad—has taken their training to the next level. Athletes are showing up to both early morning and late-night sessions, pushing themselves physically and mentally to be as prepared as possible. It’s a testament to the discipline and unity that defines this gym.

Technique, timing, and trust—this is what makes jiu jitsu more than just a martial art.

The jiu jitsu team at Back to Basics isn’t just training hard—they’re training smart. From focused drilling to high-level positional sparring, the preparation is tailored toward competition intensity. The team knows that success on the mat isn’t random; it comes from intentional effort, sweat equity, and relentless attention to detail. Their coaches have built a structured program that maximizes every minute on the mat, reflecting the competitive spirit that drives the local Boston Jiu Jitsu athletes.

Boston Jiu Jitsu in action—where grit meets grace, and every roll is a lesso

One of the most inspiring aspects of the team’s grind is the consistency. Whether it’s a quiet weekday morning or a packed evening session, the mats are filled with teammates helping each other grow. From white belts to seasoned competitors, everyone has one goal: to represent Back to Basics and the greater Boston Jiu Jitsu community with excellence at Tap Cancer Out. The camaraderie and accountability make each training session not just a workout, but a mission.

One standout among the team is Chase De Lucy, whose work ethic has become a quiet inspiration at the gym. Chase has been showing up to both day and night classes with unwavering consistency, determined to sharpen every aspect of his game. What makes his grind even more impressive is that he’s regularly grappling with teammates well over 200 pounds, fearlessly embracing the challenge. His dedication reflects the true spirit of Boston Jiu Jitsu—showing up, putting in the work, and leveling up through pure determination. As the tournament draws closer, there’s no doubt Chase will be one of the most prepared and battle-tested competitors on the mat.

Building skill and discipline through jiu jitsu and martial arts

With just weeks to go before the tournament, Back to Basics athletes are locked in. Their eyes are on the podium, but more importantly, they’re focused on showing heart, technique, and respect—values that define both their team and the wider Boston Jiu Jitsu scene. Win or lose on June 22nd, they’ll step onto the mat as one of the hardest-working squads in the region.

Sharpening the mind and body through every roll—Boston Jiu Jitsu representing with pride.
