What has been the most difficult belt for you along your BJJ journey? Is it the belt you are currently at or a different one?

I think a newly promoted blue belt was the most difficult time period for me. You’re fighting your own expectations, white belts see you as an opportunity to prove themselves and you start to discover that many of the upper belts weren’t giving you their A game before… now they are and the taps don’t seem to stop!

In No Gi intermediate we’ll be exploring single leg takedowns and a variety of arm in chokes! It’s going to be fun!

In NoGi we are continuing with arm drags and will be looking at some leg drags to pass the guard!

No Gi intermediate will be a good week. We will be utilizing arm drags to initiate a take down and then we will be getting familiar with the X guard position.

Kimura and kimura bump this week. Two awesome attacks that chain together to get you a submission or a sweep!

I like when we have an agreement to explore new techniques (usually found on social media) that go along with what’s happening in class. We each try out the off topic technique and give our thoughts and feedback on it. It helps expand our arsenal without getting completely off topic.

A nice takedown and two very effective Mount Escapes this week. Great opportunity to strength your fundamentals!

No one likes to be at the bottom of mount. Make sure you have a few escapes to help get you out. If you don’t, come to class this week!

7 days a week sounds good, but I don’t think that would be personally sustainable. 4-5 would be the perfect amount for me, those 2 days off give an opportunity to reflect on past days training and makes me look forward to the next day on the mat. Avoid any burnout!
