Super excited for the upcoming competition. Watching our students grow and compete is very rewarding. As a coach, who still actively trains, I am proud to announce that I too am going to compete on the April 12th card. Students on the mat, fighters in the match, and teammates always.

In regards to the upcoming striking week, similar to my love of leg locks in jiu jitsu, I am a big fan of legs in striking. I believe hands are the opening and set up strikes to powerful, knockout kicks. I look forward to seeing the switch kick in action.

With the desire to always want to feel like you accomplished something, it can be hard, especially for kids, to handle disappointment and handle it in a healthy way.

In less words.... Breath!!!!
