Closing out my thirties.

I wanted to spend this year doing the thing I love more than anything: training Jiu Jitsu as much as I possibly could.

The result: 1st at the IBJJF Master World Championship. 🥇

Thank you to all of my friends, family, and students who helped me along the way.

Your schedule is the map that gets you where you want to go.

It’s the foundation of this pyramid. Choose the days and times you’ll train, then hold yourself accountable to showing up.

Having that structure helps you navigate every other level. It gives you something to return to when motivation fades, progress slows, or life gets complicated.

Achieving your goals starts with becoming the person capable of achieving them.

This pyramid outlines the habits and mindset that give you the best chance to succeed. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Like your jiu jitsu, it should become more solid over time.

Build the foundation. Keep improving it. Give yourself something you can rely on when the opportunity comes.

Cutting and maintaining weight while training has always been a pain.

Big thank you to @jimmysfamousmeals for making this one so much easier. I was able to eat well, stay on weight, and focus on training.

Ballwork: Shoulders Three Ways

Dynamic shoulder work through different ranges, speeds, and movement patterns.

Strength that transfers to sport.

Problem Solving

My student is doing a good job keeping his hips off the mat, controlling distance with the collar, and making his leg heavy, all of which make the sweep difficult to finish.

By breaking the collar grip and controlling his sleeve, I create a frame with both of our arms. Passing his leg over that frame supports the weight of his leg while trapping it, allowing me to technical stand up and finish the sweep.
