When motivation is high, ride the wave. When it isn’t, stay disciplined.

I’m fortunate that my wife is able to homeschool our son, and part of his weekly checklist is gym class/jiu-jitsu with Daddy a couple of times a week. He’s almost always motivated to go to class, but not always for private lessons.

This past week though, he’s wanted to do extra- even more than what’s required. Even when I’m tired or have a ton going on, I’m almost never going to say no to him wanting more jiu-jitsu or any other noble pursuit he chooses.

To achieve something worthwhile, you’re probably going to have to do more than what’s required or comfortable. As a parent, I believe it’s our job to model that for our kids. It’s hard to expect discipline, commitment, and effort from them if they don’t consistently see it in us. #bjj #peakjiujitsu #mma #nogi taken in PEAK Jiu-Jitsu Tx by @jtsatava

Earlier this week I shared a video that included some concepts behind the stack pass. It’s always satisfying to see those same ideas hold up in competition. Teaching is important to me, but so is making sure I’m teaching techniques I trust enough to use myself. #peakjiujitsu #bjj #nogi #ibjjf #adcc by @jtsatava

“What do I need to work on?” It’s a question I get probably too often. And while there’s a time and a place for it, it’s usually not a great question. To clarify, I don’t think the intention behind it is wrong or malicious. It’s just well… kind of lazy. To me, the question says “I’m not paying attention.” Identifying problems, is crucial to development in jiu jitsu- or anything in life for that matter. From there, seek solutions, ask deliberate questions, immerse yourself in experience, and then build on it. Grow and fall in love with this process.

Promotions are never just about a new rank. They’re a reflection of the time, consistency, and effort that happens week after week on the mats.

Congratulations to everyone who earned a promotion during my last trip to New York and in the weeks before. Every stripe and every belt represents countless rounds, lessons, progress, and the decision to keep showing up.

A big thank you to our staff and instructors. Having a team I trust to uphold the standards, invest in the students, and continue building the culture of Peak is something I never take for granted. I appreciate everything you all do. 🙏🏼

Keep building. Stay humble. The journey continues. Congratulations to everyone who was promoted. 🥋 #peakjiujitsu #bjj #gi #nogi taken in PEAK Jiu-Jitsu by @jtsatava

Shout out to @jsatava , We work frequently online But whenever he's back in town we try to take full advantage. The goals we have set forth is for him to feel armored from head to toe. Jon is a high level BJJ black belt. Bjj is a physically demanding sport and requires a diverse array of attributes. The main thing I wanted from this workout here was setting a solid dynamic pace mixed with connecting muscles that normally don't get to interact. If you want me to go further into this, please leave the comment Satava, And I'll be happy to post each exercise and go into more of the details. Happy training friends. by @jtsatava

Seeing things come together is part of what makes training meaningful for me. I really enjoyed watching this clip back for three reasons.

First, we worked on heisting recently, and I like being able to show my students that the techniques we drill work live.

Second, my partner has a very strong counter front headlock game. The cement mixer variation in this clip is a direct adaptation that developed from training with him.

Finally, trapping the arm during the guillotine has become my preferred finish from mount. That adjustment came after an ADCC Trials match where a tough opponent escaped one of my guillotines with a kip. Ever since then, controlling the arm has become a detail I rely on heavily.
