Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ)

I plan on it. My wife also runs beach volleyball camps and one of the moms of a kid said she works at another gym close to my house that I am going to stop by soon as well.

 

Any luck with that gym @Mista_G

 

Sadly not yet, was out in Pismo for a week, then this past week I had 3 practices a day for the teams I'm coaching. Heading out to Parker, AZ for some skiing/wake-boarding Sunday, but when I get back its my number 1. I have it settled down to 2 though, both within 5 minute drive to my house. Thanks for checking in and keeping me accountable.

 

Awesome. Glad to hear your still interested.
Was there an off-road event at pismo or were you just hanging out?

 

No event, my mom has a trailer up there so a little beach driving, a little dune driving, a little wine tasting, a little Hearst castle, a little more duning. BJJ is going to happen, summer schedule for a teacher would seem very open, but for some reason this summer it isn’t true.

 

Girlfriend took a pic of my shirt today.
Had to post haha

 

White belt (3 stripe) BJJ at a Relson Gracie school checking in. Been at it for a year, also been doing some Judo. It’s the greatest active hobby ever! My skills have improved immensely in the past year, but still not ready for the sweet blue belt yet.

 

You training strictly in the gi or you get some nogi action goin aswell?

 

Mostly gi but some no gi. It’s interesting how the game changes with no gi. Everything is faster and escapes are easier!

I’m also a big fan of open mat. Classes are great, but it’s good to just go roll and make stuff happen.

 

Definitely. no gi is a different animal for sure. I train predominantly in the gi aswell but make sure to hit a no gi once a week to stay as versed as I can in both.

 

The man doing a triangle choke caught this dude who broke into his dad’s home.

 

Is that a shirt?

 

I like it man. Solid gift.

 

Nice. I have not attempted any triangles from the mount in any of my training.

 

Awesome.

A brown belt at my gym has a shirt that says "I choke people so I don't have to lift" LOL

 

Oh man. Your Missin out. Haha
If someone postures up when you shoot the triangle hook a leg and send em over. There’s something special about a mounted triangle. Opponent is pretty much at your mercy.

 

I trained at AOJ for a year. It was $200/month for me because I did the unlimited plan since I could train twice a day most days of the week. I think for 3 days a week it’s like $150/160, but I’m not 100% on that. Good place, but they’re so goddamn crowded now it’s insane. I’m with Brazilian Top Team now and love it

 

Yeah man. $200 a month is pretty steep. I’m guessing it was a nice facility?

 

It’s the nicest place I’ve ever trained at. They clean the mats a couple times a day and the facility in general is spotless. The evening class sizes just get insanely big sometimes and that’s just not for me. They’re amazing teachers though

 

Thanks for the feed back. That’s definitly too much for me. Looking for a place that may have some weights as well. Checking out a place off Newport and Santa Isabella when I get home from vacation.
