Justin Dodge is a second-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with over 30 years of training experience. He owned and operated his own gym before COVID-19 forced its closure, but his passion for the sport and its values never faded. Through years on the mat, he’s learned firsthand what it means to push through challenges, adapt, and keep moving forward—principles that fuel everything he does.

 

Beyond martial arts, Justin served as a Denver SWAT officer, where he faced high-stakes situations that demanded discipline, mental toughness, and quick decision-making. His years in law enforcement reinforced his belief in resilience, accountability, and never backing down from a challenge.

 

That mindset was put to the ultimate test when he was in a devastating accident at a Denver Nuggets championship parade, where a fire truck ran over his leg, resulting in an amputation. Instead of letting it define him, Justin faced the situation head-on, refusing to back down. His recovery has been a testament to the same grit and resilience he’s preached for years.

 

Now, as the founder of Heavy Victory, LLC, Justin is focused on building more than just a brand; he’s creating a mindset. He wants people to experience Heavy Victory through his words, his motivational posts, and the way they approach their own challenges. He keeps things real, values direct communication, and expects the same energy from those around him.

 

At the end of the day, Justin’s mission is simple: to help others embrace the fight, own their victories, and keep pushing forward—on and off the mat.
