My intermediate class will digging into some specific details surrounding half guard attacks, including some awesome wrist locks. Be there ! 

That's difficult questions Russell Usauskas. I will list 3...

First, Adam Maslach Coming to visit RŌL twice in 2024 was simply amazing. Two, Emily Kwok, privilege of listening to her teach and sharing her knowledge was one in a lifetime opportunity. Three, nothing tops the 2024 Graduation event for kids and adult. That was super emotional set of events for me. I'm so proud of everyone. 

Hey Tony, that’s a great question! For me, Jiu Jitsu has been a fantastic way to escape from the pressures of everyday life and find some much-needed “me” time. By leaving all my worries and concerns behind and focusing solely on the sport, I’ve been able to experience a significant shift in my well-being, especially during my earlier days when I was stuck in a corporate job.

Join me for NoGi Interm this week, it’s all about S-Mount. You don’t want to miss this 💥 

Busy week ahead guys… Gi Interm will focus on Top Control attacks from chokes to Arm Locks 

Balance... I used to find myself as very uncoordinated and not balanced.  It took me to a long time to figure out how to use gravity to my advantage. Once I was able to wrap my head around it, it took a lot of practice, a lot of trim, error, and to be honest a lot of failures, to really become efficient at it... I'm still working on it.

Intermediate Gi will focus on escaping top mount. Let’s develop an system how not to get smashed 💥 

This is a phenomenal question, for me it was particularly solving problems and reacting and stressful situations. We all have been there, challenges arise, stress increases, anxiety kicks in, and we are unable to make logical decisions or troubleshoot the situation to remove ourselves and make things easier. Most definitely Jiu Jitsu has taught me to evaluate every situation, take a step back and try to make the best choices based on the surroundings and options available.

Guys, we are passing the guard this weekend Knee Cut style. Lots of drilling ahead of us 👊

We will be mastering Guard Passing this week.  This is a must attend for all Blue Belts. Be there!
