PRAXXIS Jiu Jitsu was officially welcomed to downtown Chipley on Monday, July 27, as the Washington County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at the academy’s new location at 805 Main Street. Owner Tito Jones was joined by family, friends, community members, local officials, local pageant queens, and Chamber representatives to celebrate the opening and show support for the business.
