Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ)

Yup, my wife teaches our kids program, our son is primarily a wrestler. Kids BJJ is hard for a bunch of reasons; especially for buys I recommend folk style wrestling over BJJ until they are older.

 

Dan Inosanto was our gym owner’s instructor

Sifu Dan has been to our gym a few times for two day seminars

 

teaching kids is like herding cats
especially the little dragons

 

He usually does Muay Thai, BJJ and does wrestling heavy BJJ in a smaller setting with a coach but the coach recently head to have brain surgery so he’s been recovering so his progress is slowed. But, he’s still happy to go, he’s learning and getting better still so I can’t complain too much really.

Shameless plug…

 

BJJ, in a car. There is no top or bottom; only posts, frames, ramps, and walls.

congrats!!!

 

Congratulations! How are you handling the belt promotion so far? I was just promoted to brown belt as well a few weeks ago and I'm feeling like that belt is heavy on my waist! Imposter syndrome is definitely alive and well over here!

 

It’s another belt in the journey to getting my black belt. I help coach our kids competition team as well. No imposter syndrome here. I was kinda surprised a couple of our purple belts got stripes.

 

We had a guest professor last night, Wilson Reis, he was the first Jiu Jitsu instructor at our gym about 20 years ago

 

Is anyone is interested for EWO March 1-2? We've got a few spots left.

That's awesome! I follow Shivworks and from their content it appears to be pressure tested no-bs combatives. I've taken a few DT courses where the instructors, despite being outstanding jiujitsu practitioners, don't have real world experience that involves weapons.

 

100% agree, for whatever a random guy on the Internet's opinion is worth.

But if you want to come train in Philly hit me up and you can judge my qualifications yourself

 

How’s everyone’s training going? I’ve been working hard on taking the back and finishing from the back and it’s paying off

 

We’ve been working on 1/2 guard attacks and defense

 

I've been working on queen's position and standing back takes.

 

I am a purple belt and I swear I have never heard of “Queen’s position”. What the heck is that?

 

Sounds like one of those 10th Planet no-gi techniques.

 

It's some Mikey Musumeci guard game; open guard, back on the mat, hands on knees, elbows on the mat to brace the legs and close the pass box.

Definitely 10th planet style stuff, but it works.
