Fabric Jiu-Jitsu wordmark, oversized, with the R in red

Hey, it's Chase.

You might know me from my previous gig where I spent nearly a decade covering the sport, telling athlete stories, and helping build some of the biggest events in jiu-jitsu.

After some time away, I am back with a project built for the community: Fabric.

Every journey on the mats, from the local academy to the pyramid, shapes our sport. Fabric exists to capture those stories and track everything happening across the ecosystem.

Every Thursday, The Weekend Ahead breaks down who is competing and where to watch. Every Monday, you get the key results delivered straight to you. Plus, the live calendar keeps every IBJJF, ADCC, and pro event in one place, complete with individual event pages.

See you around,
