Jits.gg Review
Sharpen Iron Academy - Plano ranks #16 nationally with a power score of 4869.2, built on an unusual foundation: 73% grey belt concentration. Most programs struggle to retain beginners, but SIA Plano flips the script with 53 grey belts dominating competition while only 32 white belts learn fundamentals. Luke Sias and Hudson McDaniel compete at 98th and 99th percentile respectively — that's the caliber this program consistently develops.
The numbers reveal a finishing-focused development system: 52% submission rate across grey belts (above the 50% median) combined with a 53% championship rate that's nearly double typical programs. Their 1.56 golds per fighter sits comfortably above the 0.9 national median, while yellow belts maintain the momentum with 65% titles and 50% early stoppages. Scale meets efficiency — 75 total athletes generating 117 golds through technical superiority, not grinding decisions.
If your kid thrives in submission-heavy training environments, SIA Plano delivers proven results at the highest levels. Their grey belt factory produces multiple 99th percentile athletes like McDaniel, while beginners get time to develop proper fundamentals before competing. For families wanting technical finishing over basic wrestling, this beats larger programs that prioritize volume over precision.
