Word of the Month:Â initiate–begin, commence, start, initiate, inaugurate, usher in mean to take the first step in a course, process, or operation. begin, start, and commence are often interchangeable.
Let’s talk about initiating with how it applies to Jiu Jitsu. Mat chat talk about initiating the changes you want in your game with proper goal setting. We finished up with some of that at the end of last year. Talk about how they should write their goals down and evaluate each month on if they’re getting closer.
Talk about initiating contact in the match. or if in a bad spot initiating a transition. BE FIRST! If you’re not first, you’re last.
BJJ Curriculum:Â Back Take vs Back Escape from Turtle Position. Teach them the tripod escape where they tripod up and shuck the opponent off over the top: (Safety consideration: If a student feels like they’re falling over the top or side, tuck the chin and do the appropriate break fall or forward roll…. do not scorpion)
Adults/Advanced Kids: Add a Leo Vieira type somersault back take after the tripod and removal of hook/hooks. Ask me if you need me to show you what I mean. I’ll fill Jesse in on this as well.

Week 3: Let’s tell them that No change small or big can be made with thoughts. Tell how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Initiated great change in our country for equality and upholding what is right for our country as an American Democracy. But he didn’t do it overnight and he didn’t do it alone. Ask the students about some of their plans to initiate change for the better. When appropriate let them know that they may need to seek the help of others to accomplish their goals…that takes humility.
BJJ Curriculum: TD to INITIATE
from the takedown, no matter what position the td you showed led them to….try to get them to get rid of the pause, with drills like from tabled position (jumping to the back) etc. then have them drill the td to that immediate action drill of pass or opening a closed guard or back take.

Week 2: Share your goals and change you’re looking to initiate in your life with the students and then ask if any of them if they have any resolutions for the new year and change they’d like to take the first step toward. Let them know these changes can’t be too big or too small because big goals need a lot of little steps. The best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

Hey guys: In Colorado  Developing a combative module for the Air Force this week. I’ll shoot you guys a video Wednesday about some of the changes in more detail we are making to the schedule.
1.Kids classes are going back to simpler. parents allowed only in the back room. I don’t want none of these parents of kids with made up autism in the fucking pro shop saying Gertrude learns better when mommy can make eye contact at any time. . send em to the back. No parents in front room or pro shop.
2. Tuesday will now be my monthly theme (shortening up themed classes once a month to get more advanced content out more frequently)
3. MMA moved to Thursday nights again.
4. Sparring is now Saturday at 10am.
5. Striking is now Muay Thai 3 days a week
Word of the Month:Â initiate–begin, commence, start, initiate, inaugurate, usher in mean to take the first step in a course, process, or operation. begin, start, and commence are often interchangeable.
Week 1: We often think about resolutions, more like goals without plans…thats a wish. In order to meet our goals or resolutions the change must come with being forward and acting…not just thinking. We need to be aggressive and one way to do that is by initiating the change. What are some of your goals? share with the class this week and next.
I hope to speak with most of you next week about some of the resolutions and changes you’re looking to make currently or in the future.
Jiu Jitsu Curriculum: Positional Drills this week keeping everyone active to just get moving in the new year.
Muay Thai Curriculum: Jesse has new format. I’ll train Tim R. and Jesse up proper when I get back.
Course should be punches to low kick as the theme for combos.
