New Jiu Jitsu Book

Professor Travis Tooke has recently released a new book titled Jiu Jitsu and Life: Lessons Learned On and Off the Mat. The book takes you on a journey through the lens of Travis’ life. Travis first found Jiu-jitsu as a 15 year old kid when his friend rented the first UFC with Royce Gracie. He was hooked immediately and quickly found a place to take classes. Over the years Travis competed, trained and eventually moved to Brazil where he earned his Black Belt.

Martial Arts Business

In 2005, Travis opened his school, Team Tooke Mixed Martial Arts Academy in his fathers garage. With no formal education or business experience, and no students or money, he slowly began to build what would become one of the most successful Jiu-jitsu schools in Texas. Jiu-jitsu and Life: Lessons Learned On and Off the Mat takes the reader on Travis’ journey from teenage white belt to 4th degree black belt and successful business owner. The book is entertaining, funny, vulnerable and motivating. A great read for all martial artists and entrepreneurs, Jiu jitsu and Life is now available on Amazon!
