Here’s a simple question for this week…

What made you start Jiu Jitsu?

For some, it was a specific goal, losing weight, getting active, or improving health. For others, it may have been encouragement from friends, or a desire to learn self-defense.

Take a moment to reflect and share your story. It’s always powerful to look back at where it all started.

The “You Are Framed” series on RŌL TV by Thomas Rozdzynski is a deep dive into one of the most essential and often misunderstood concepts in Jiu Jitsu: framing. This series breaks down how to build effective structural frames using proper alignment rather than relying on strength, allowing you to manage pressure from larger or more aggressive opponents.

Weekly Question Time… 🥋

What is your interpretation of a Black Belt?

Some of you are working toward it, some of you are not focused on rank, and some of you may not care about belts at all, and that’s perfectly fine. But regardless of where you stand, we all carry a certain vision, expectation, or feeling about what a Black Belt represents.

Take a moment and describe what a Black Belt means to you, in a few sentences.
