My name is Josh “Cakes” Dawson. I’m 19 years old and I’m from Houston, Texas but I am currently living in Southern California training under Kendall Reusing. I started training Jiu Jitsu when I was 5 and growing up I trained Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling as a kid but over the last 5 years I have been committed and focused on Jiu Jitsu.

I am currently ranked number 6 in the world in the blue belt adult division No-Gi. Some of my accomplishments have been :

2x F2W SuperFight Champion

2x 3CG SuperFight Champion

Bronze Pan Americans No-Gi

New Orleans Open Champion

LA Open, Weight class and absolute Champion

Nashville Open, Weight class and absolute Champion

Houston Open, Weight class and absolute Champion

When I’m not training Jiu Jitsu or lifting weights my hobbies pretty much consist of surfing, hanging out at the beach or playing video games. My goals are to be the best athlete and competitor I can be. I have my eyes set on being an ADCC Champion, World and Pan No-Gi Champion and I’d like to win a world title in the Gi as well.

Some of my favorite competitors are Gordon Ryan, Lucas Valente, Pedro Marinho, Tainan Dalpra, Andressa Cintra, Mica Galvao, Garry Tonnon, PJ Barch.

If you don’t use CBD or Cannabis Products I highly recommend you do. As an athlete, recovery is very important to me, so I can perform and train the way I need to. Flor Medica’s products are the best way to relax and recover from a hard training session or even a hard day at work. It’s essential for the human body to get quality sleep and Flor medicas’ various products will help you achieve the rest you need. My personal favorite is their gummies. I take half of one about an hour before bed and do my nightly routine. When it’s time to go to bed I can just fall asleep and stay asleep, without having to worry about tossing and turning trying to go to sleep. So whether you are a high level athlete or just an everyday Joe I highly recommended using these amazing products.
