TAC Team BJJ – Team Training & Black Belt Promotions at Watson Martial Arts
On September 13, 2025, we hosted a special TAC Team BJJ training event right here at Watson Martial Arts at 2737 Papin Street, St. Louis, MO. Our affiliate gyms from across the Midwest came together for a day of collaboration, high-level training, and community building.
The mats were filled with energy as athletes shared techniques, rolled with new partners, and pushed each other to improve. Events like this highlight why Watson Martial Arts has become one of the most trusted names in St. Louis Jiu Jitsu, bringing together people who love learning and testing themselves through martial arts.
Black Belt Promotions
One of the most meaningful parts of the day was the promotion of three dedicated practitioners to the rank of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt. At Watson Martial Arts, we believe earning a black belt is not just about technical skill, but also about perseverance, leadership, and character. It was an honor to recognize their years of hard work on the mats.
