We are continuing our exploration of Guard Passing strategies this week.

💡 In NoGi, we will focus on folding-style passing, using tight pressure and positional angles to guide us directly into strong finishing positions such as side control or back control.

💡 In Gi classes, our main emphasis will be the knee cut pass, breaking down the defensive frames and learning how to connect it smoothly from a variety of guard scenarios.

If improving your passing game is one of your goals, this is a great week to be on the mat. These concepts will help you build confidence, apply consistent pressure, and create clear paths to dominant positions. I encourage you to join me and take advantage of the reps, details, and live opportunities ahead of us.

Let’s have a great week of training 👊

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

This is amazing Larry. Keep on pushing 👊🏻

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

🔺🔺🔺 all day long in my earlier days John Kats, Tim Jurgovan and Marc Hansen what about you guys?

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! 💪🥋

It’s going to be a great week ahead for the Intermediate class! We’re continuing our deep dive into leg attacks — this time adding some exciting details on knee bars and heel hooks. 🔥

Come ready to learn, drill, and sharpen your game! 👊

I’ve always believed that everything happens for a reason, in life, in business, and definitely on the mat. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing; I truly love where I’m at right now.

But if we’re talking in a fantasy world… it would be pretty amazing to train twice a day with the best of the best, travel the world, meet incredible people, and just live the full Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.

Until then, I’ll keep dreaming and keep rolling. 👊
