Including the gis I bought for my kids? I couldn’t possibly count that high.

I’m trying to find a good time to take the family to visit my sister. She lives in Kane ‘Ohe. It’s a 14 minute drive from her house to Kailua… where Marcelo’s new place is…. Every time we mention it my family rolls their eyes and asks, “You’d take your family to Hawaii and spend all your time at jiujitsu still?!?!” No. Just the evenings. And yes. Yes I would.

There are quite a few nogi players I’d like to learn from: Keith Krikorian, Andrew Tackett, Josef Chen, Helena Crevar, and the almighty Craig Jones.

I think JFlo would be my number one right now. I love to talk smack about judo… but that man is unreal. His set ups, posture breaks, trips, and throws are insane. It usually looks like his opponent is in a zero gravity environment while he moves and tosses them and he does it effortlessly.

This sounds like rolling with Coach Dom or Professor Russ!

With Dom, he is always attacking. I successfully fend them off until I can’t keep up, end up out of position and make a bad decision and I’m tapping. 

Professor Russ is like the Japanese Game Show of open mat: he never rewards your progress but immediately, and extremely punishes your shortcomings!

What IS WORKING for you?

It seems like lots of time we ask for advice on how to fill in gaps in our game, but rarely do we ask what is going well. Rather than be determined to force our way down a specific path, maybe there are paths to consider. 

I’ve been having success by focusing on attacking to dictate a specific response in order to control my opponent’s reaction and use that response to control their posture. This opens up so many possibilities without focusing on a specific guard or submission.

I really wish you had one that match…. But now you know how we feel rolling with you!

I like all these ideas… let’s get them on the calendar!

I would ask that we learn establishing the pass. Too many times I do all the work to open and pass just for my partner to get in a knee shield or capture one ankle and work back to a full guard. It’s very frustrating (Russ)!!!!
