Month: June 2025

July is here. Regular week of classes. Summer is half over. We see a lot of youth quit and pause, things are slowing down, but back to school is a month away, and we know how crazy that can get. Be ready in a month.

Forgiveness is the word of the month, and very important for a martial artist to have. It requires humility and a willingness to move forward.

BJJ: We are getting into Spider and Spider/lasso, for the youth, I believe Tim was doing spider guard with a foot on the hip and one on the bicep to the triangle? Begin to adapt the steering wheel sweep in there as well.

Adult: We are continuing the passing of this type of guard.

Smooth sailing so far this first month of summer. Good job everyone. Classes have been good and pretty full for summer. Glad we did the compressed schedule for youth. The youth intermediate class has revealed some deficiencies specific to guard play. Many are good from the top. Few are good from the bottom. Finish up on guard attacks this week in regular youth BJJ. Adults, we are getting into passing the open guard/spider guard. Great job last week on the Wednesday night class. It’s starting to get attendance which I like. It will be no gi this week. Movie night was slim but we had a good time. Going to mix it between movies and maybe some old mma/nhb/bjj documentaries as well. Perhaps it may also blend into film study.

Guys great job lately. Falling into a nice summer rhythm. all of the classes have stayed bearable like I had hoped. the Wednesday youth comp is looking smooth. Summer classes have slimmed out a bit with adults, and Thursday Muay Thai level 2 is still kind of wimpy turnout. We have to get the ppl of the appropriate level ranked up and to get them to care about it.

If we see people who only train Muay Thai, ask them if they have thought about cross training into bjj a little bit. It will only help them to be a complete martial artist.

BJJ: Bottom vs Top Knee shield. explore a bit of bottom and top
BJJ Youth: more guard, move to the opposite one, if you did triangle , move to arm bar. if you did arm bar, move to triangle.
Muay Thai:

Youth BJJ: Arm Bar & Triangle continuance. Whichever attack you chose, stay with it. the next week we will get into the different one. Youth Sparring class was great last week, hoping to see more adult participation in the BJJ class at 7:30PM. That will be the class where we get good.

Muay Thai: same theme continued.

Adult BJJ: Updated Tmw

Youth:

Muay Thai: Strike, make them miss, Strike again (same as last week)

BJJ: Adult – Side Mount Attacks & Defend
