Some old BJJ videos from class at my gym

Today when I was scrolling through some of my videos and found these two little gems. I made these videos almost 2 years ago when I was playing around with my first IPhone. Yeah. . . I was a late comer to the smart phone age. The coolest part for me about watching these videos […]

Which BJJ competitor are you?

  So I asked a hypothetical question on Facebook today. Question to all the BJJ practitioners. Would you rather be competitor A or B? Competitor A : Wins almost every match, consistently at the top of the podium, but is boring. Will get ahead on points by a pass or sweep and ride it out […]

Leandro Lo and Hard Rolling

This morning I woke up at 6:30am unable to go back to sleep. My body is not a fan of this not exercising stuff! So what do I do when I am unable to sleep and have no other obligations?

I’m not an animal! But I do have a broken nose.

[Sitting in the ER waiting area]   So last night during training I broke my nose! We were doing our typical Monday night stand up / takedown session. I dropped down for a fireman carry and as I did I felt my partners knee hit with a thud against my face. I instantly covered up […]

White belts are people too!

  So today I learned that white belts are people too. They practice techniques and roll. . . just like us colored belts! 😛 Of course I’m kidding. Today I had a blast with my white belts. They came in for our first special white belt training session. I decided to do this class because […]
