Coach Scott is back on the mats for the MOST FUN CLASS EVER: Kids Competition Class! This week we are playing for points! Join us to learn to secure victory by out scoring your opponent on the way to your submissions!

I’m back this week for nogi fundamentals! Join me as we work explore the family choke: Mata Leon! Then join me at one of the many open mats and see if you can execute it!

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!

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