On June 23, 2025, Arman Fathi—Gracie University and 10th Planet’s only dual black belt—led a high-level seminar focused entirely on the Twister, one of the most iconic submissions in the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system. The seminar broke down the Twister’s core mechanics, entries from various setups like lockdown and truck, and detailed transitions from the back. Fathi’s teaching style balanced technical depth with practical application, offering insights that bridged fundamentals and competition-level execution.

On May 21st, 2025, RŌL Academy welcomed Adam Maslach for a dynamic seminar dedicated to straight and folding ankle locks—two potent and often underutilized submission options in both gi and nogi grappling. Drawing from his extensive competition experience and technical precision, Adam delivered a focused and highly detailed exploration of lower limb control, leg entanglements, and the breaking mechanics that make ankle locks effective at the highest levels.

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
What else can you share?
