I set a goal for myself to get my black belt after realizing how much fun I have doing this. 

I really enjoy the camaraderie that comes with it, the people at the academy have become friends and many are like family. 

I have to put my phone away and take off my smart watch. For the time I’m at class I can’t check emails, take phone calls, or deal with work stuff.

Great week ahead!

Fundamentals is starting out with the same technique that I showed at my workshop a couple weeks ago. 

Triangles and kimuras are thrown in the mix for good measure and great techniques to have in your arsenal!

Don’t forget Saturday is the graduation ceremony for adults!

Judo….100%

That’s a good question, I had to think about it. 

I look at their stance…are they low to shoot in? Are they standing straight up to attempt judo? Are they shoulder forward to attempt to grab a sleeve or lapel? Are they standing with one foot forward to bait me to shoot in for a single? 

So much information all at once.

Butterfly guard and half guard this week! 

2 types of guard that can help your game. Whether you want to dive deep or learn a a few things this is a great week to get that intro.

What’s is a favorite match that you love to watch? it could be a strictly BJJ match or an mma fight that had high level Jiu Jitsu. 

One of my favorites is Amanda Leve beating Gabi Garcia. The lead up to that match was tense and it was a shocker when Amanda won!

As a huge fan of Judo I’m SUPER excited, this week has an amazing take down and plenty of offense. 

Don’t be late!

Had a blast at the picnic but now it’s back to work…..and this week we’re working on escaping side control.

Being stuck in side control pressure is no fun so I hope to see you at class.
