This truly is an exciting week. One of my Favorites the Pendulum sweep. Besides that we will be covering 3 submissions from the guard position. Each with its own unique details on Tuesday and Thursday nights in fundamentals. @ 6pm Gi and 7pm nogi.

Great question. For me it’s carving out those niches of time, if I’m not at the gym, I’ll watch film, even if it’s for 10 mins. Weights and meal prepping all come into play. Being off the mat is an opportunity to prepare for the mat. 

Great escapes from top control. Along with the classic cross collar choke. 

Mobility and frames. Just to be able to get favorable connections/frames. And timing the hip escape. All keys.  

Your success is my success. 

At ROL we have many fan favorites on tap this week from side-control. We have a couple of flavors of Kimora. The traditional to the North South. Align that with a take down so simple your Grandma could do it. Stop by.

I have to say coming in overweight, and old, I tried to not take it seriously. But my competitive nature wouldn’t allow it. However, things changed when I stopped seeking the W and I became a seeker of knowledge. I was truly amazed at the fact there are so many different ways to reverse submit etc. and learn this amazing art, while getting fit and learn how to stay humble.
