We all have those days—what helps you bounce back and keep moving forward? 💭💪

Question of the week???    How much   do you feel jujitsu is a mental and how much is a Physical challenge, I personal feel its   80 % MENTALLY and  20% physical, what are your thoughts ?????? 

Question from one of our students:

What’s a life skill that Jiu Jitsu has either taught you or has allowed you to refine?

One day, you will have your last roll on the mats. If you could choose ANYONE for your final roll, who would that be????

Time for the question of the week! What do you do if you ever find yourself in a situation where you can’t train Jiu Jitsu as much as you’d like? It could be due to injury or any number of other events happening in your life but you’re just not able to get out there on the mats and train the way you would like to be training. For me I try to stay engaged with Jiu Jitsu as much as I can wether that be watching instructionals if I can’t get out on the mat or just even watching reels on Instagram, I like to keep learning however I can. I also try and stay as active as I can, I find that when I do any type of hard physical exercise that usually helps with any frustrations I might be feeling from not being able to train the way I want to be training. Let me know what you do below! 

What has been the most difficult belt for you along your BJJ journey? Is it the belt you are currently at or a different one?

I think a newly promoted blue belt was the most difficult time period for me. You’re fighting your own expectations, white belts see you as an opportunity to prove themselves and you start to discover that many of the upper belts weren’t giving you their A game before… now they are and the taps don’t seem to stop! 

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!

Let’s be real for a second — we all have that one mistake that keeps showing up.

What’s the one habit or technical error in your Jiu Jitsu that you know is a problem… you’ve drilled the fix… you’ve had it pointed out… and yet, it still creeps in during training or rolls?

Let’s open up a bit — sometimes sharing these things helps us break the pattern (and lets others know they’re not alone). 👊

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.
