If you could only train one submission for a year, what would it be and why?

Mine is the kimura. You use it for submissions, passing, or control. You can use it from so many different types of guards, side, mount. You can do them with your arms or legs. Super versatile!

Summer time is here and I’m sure many of us have plans to travel, this brings up my questions;

Have you ever visited another gym ?

If you have, which one was your favorite?

If you haven’t, why not?

For those that have, do you have any tips or tricks for those that haven’t?

I’ve been to Marcelo Garcia’s gym in Dallas, I didn’t get to meet him since it was Pans and he was with his team. We started class and it was well over 100 degrees in the room, about 20 minutes into class the instructor realized how hot it was and turned on the a/c, it was almost to little too late. It was still a great class and open mat. Since I’ve been there he’s moved to another facility and looking forward to checking it out.

As far as tips and tricks I always call ahead and make sure they take drop ins. Show up early and be ready for class/open mat.

Laundry, there are memes about how much laundry jiu jitsu generates. Especially for newer people to jiu jitsu, what tips can you offer to help avoid being the stinky person?

-Always wash your stuff, don't try to re-ware it

-Adding vinegar along with detergent helps kill bacteria that will cause smells

-Washing on cold and hang drying helps prevents gis from shrinking

-Laying gis out in the out in the sun to dry lets the natural UV light kill ordor causing bacteria, and gives your gi that really nice rough texture your partners will love you for 🤣

-If you can't wash your stuff right away, hang it, don't bunch it up or leave it in the bag
