thank you for sharing Patrick. So many want things fast and easy. Jiu Jitsu is simple but not easy. Keep on training

This is a tough one for me, because I truly want to meet and learn from as many incredible instructors as possible, there are just so many great names to choose from!

To start, I’d love to learn from Rickson Gracie and Royler Gracie.From the next generation, Shawn Williams, Marcelo Garcia, Andre Galvão, and Leo Vieira are all high on my list.  I also I’d interested in learning from Brian Glick and Lachlan Giles.

Great question, John! I’m spending a lot of time planning and strategizing for next year, everything from what I’ll be teaching and recording, to new ideas and concepts I want to dive deeper into. Lots of exciting content ahead!

Great time! Can’t wait

This is a great week for our Intermediate classes!

NoGi: We’re diving into Single Leg X and X-Guard sweeps, keeping the focus on simplicity and using gravity to create easy, efficient reversals that put you on top with control.

Gi: We’ll be exploring one of my favorite topics, lapel traps and attacks. Clean mechanics, smart setups, and high-percentage options that will level up your top and bottom game.

Don’t miss it. Come train with me this week! 💪🥋

The new series featuring Professor Scott Burr dives deep into the art of Connection in Jiu Jitsu, exploring how subtle adjustments in posture, distance, and timing can transform your effectiveness both standing and on the ground. Rather than isolating techniques, Scott focuses on the relationships between positions—how movement, pressure, and structure connect seamlessly across transitions.
