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. 👊
