Want to get better at passing the guard? In the be

Want to get better at passing the guard? In the beginning It helps to look at the body as a ladder & FOCUS on the legs(steps 1-3). Why? Because no one skips steps when they go up a ladder and at step 3 your opponent will have little to no offensive options 😜▪️🦶 Step 1. Feet🦵 Step 2. Knees🍑 Step 3. Hips🙅‍♂️ Step 4. Shoulders / elbows💁‍♂️ Step 5. Head▪️For example: if your opponent is constantly getting to turtle or up to wrestle, you are likely glossing over step 3(controlling the hip). If you can’t control the hip it’s time to come back to step 2, or commit to an attack.▪️As you gain skill your awareness will also increase, allowing you the opportunity to be creative & break outside this framework. Have fun. Go train 🤙

Make it a point to smile at everyone you meet. Not because of something they said or did, but because life is hard and that is the right thing to do ❤️😁

What does life, jiu jitsu and our bank accounts all have in common? We only get out what we put in 😜 Have fun. Go train!

Jiu Jitsu is for anyone, NOT everyone. What is the difference? One group is open to face the necessary problems & difficulties required to enact change, and the other is not. The only flaw that I have found in Jiu Jitsu over the years is the bad habits, assumptions & thinking that we bring in to it.

One of the most underrated submissions in Jiu Jits

One of the most underrated submissions in Jiu Jitsu is the Ezekiel choke. Able to be executed from nearly any position and with little repercussions, this choke catches a lot of folks by surprise. Here we get by the knee shield with a leg weave setup and get chest to chest. When your opponent looks for an under hook, their neck is usually vulnerable. Great for beginners and advanced alike. Have fun. Go train 🤙

A BIG part of Jiu Jitsu is about leg positioning! This is a great example of how keeping your legs in good position can eventually lead to victory. Even though Nicholas had a strong first attack (guillotine), his teammate was able to survive and escape. Had his legs have been lower, this exchange would have gone much different. Instead it allowed him to remain offensive & transition into other attacks. Keep your legs in the game! Have fun. Go train 🤙

I asked Maya what she likes most about jiu jitsu, her reply; because we do it together 😍 One of the easiest ways to get a child interested in something is to show genuine passion & effort in it ourselves. If we quit, they quit. If we shine, they shine.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. The perfect repetition is one that you can perform without hesitation. Go slow, take your time, increase speed as you progress. Have fun. Go train 🤙
