POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Well-meaning advice often comes from a place of care—but no one truly knows your heart or your path like you do.

Looking back on my life, I see moments where I followed advice to stay safe… and others where I rebelled to chase fulfillment. Starting a spa business post-COVID, fighting MMA at 38, and now shifting to a new career as an electrician at 43—each of these moments reminds me of this:
Your dreams are worth the risk.

Thank the people who want to protect you, but don’t live their dream. Pursue your own, even if it seems risky or naive.

What do you think? Have you ever ignored advice to follow your passion? taken in Coosawattee River Resort by @sean.the.wolf

(Part-1) No judgment… just observing patterns… in others and in self. Not sure if this is also new perspective to everyone else or if I’m just the last one to the party (like when you think you came up with the most genius 🧠 idea.. then Google to find out it’s been done 10,000 and better than you even thought of 😂). Anyway, for me.. to keep recalling this perspective to myself, I will use the mantra “and, not or” 🤓 taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @sean.the.wolf

The secret is: there is no secret. I remind myself daily about how important the little things are. The things noone will give you credit for, there are no immediate rewards… but what you are doing, even with the smallest task, is casting a vote for the type of person you are. Tired of missing little details at work or in the gym? Start small by attacking little details at home with everything you do. Make your bed, put things where they belong, take the extra effort… it may seem insignificant but if you scale back far enough, it’s actually the most important thing you’ll ever do! #selfimprovement #jiujitsu #bjj #lifelessons #dothesmartthings #makeyourbed taken in Sugar Hill, Georgia by @sean.the.wolf

What a wonderful way to spend a lovely Saturday with some old & new friends in the Jiu Jitsu Community. Congratulations to Kim 🔵, Daniel 🔵, and Courtany 🟤 on their new belts. The weather was great, the people were all welcoming, and the vibe was genuine. Proud to see Sean doing his thing and creating a strong community of Jiu Jitsu practitioners. I also got to “Fanboy” when I saw the Brian Hill (The Complete Combatant) come out to support the belt promotions. He allowed me to get the underhook for the photo 😂 taken in Coosawattee River Resort Fish Trap Park by @sean.the.wolf

Ladies’ fun this morning… came through the storm and got some quality time on the mats! Then they decided I needed a new perspective and literally turned me upside down. Came for mat time, stayed for hang time 😂 by @sean.the.wolf

Solid night at EJJ HQ with such solid group of people dedicated to learning and growing in this crazy game of simulated violence! 🙃
.
Finished class with talk about this silly debate in our sport between systematic teaching and ecological teaching… at the end of the day, if someone is selling you that their way is “THE” way, they’re being intellectually dishonest .. and you should question it or go another way. The real truth, as with all things, is somewhere in the middle. People who talk in absolutes are boring to me… I’m too much of a rebel to conform to some sort of artificial ‘standard’ is… in jiu jitsu and in life..and (Coach Sean’s opinion only! Haha) so should you!

Rolling on the River isn’t just an open mat. 🌲🥋🌊

We’re taking over Fish Trap Park for a whole day of jiu-jitsu, belt promotions, food, lawn games, river games, and hanging out with some damn good people.

Train. Don’t train. Bring the family. Bring a chair. Come eat, hang out, get in the river and be part of the community.

Saturday, October 17 | 10AM–2PM
📍 Fish Trap Park — Coosawattee River Resort

Everyone is welcome. Training is completely optional.

This is bigger than a gym day. It’s a community day. 💚

Drop a 🤙 if we’ll see you by the river! taken in Coosawattee River Resort Fish Trap Park by @sean.the.wolf

Had a really fun one tonight at @mandrillmartialarts …. Kicked things off with guard passing curriculum, followed by an exciting little in-house sub-only tournament. Brackets were made.. and everyone left it all out there! Was really fun to watch the gang get after it! Excited for all the ways we are going to be growing together!! 🙌🙌💚 taken in Mandrill Martial Arts by @sean.the.wolf

Phenomenal night tonight with our growing crew at @ellijayjiujitsu …. The energy was great as we reviewed all the postures, pressures… DELEMMAS… and possibilities from the back crucifix position!

Grateful for our Ellijay Mountain Tribe! 💚🙌 taken in Anytime Fitness Ellijay by @sean.the.wolf

Three promotions. Three very different journeys. One pretty damn special day. 🥋

Rolling on the River isn’t just an open mat and cookout.

On October 17, we get to celebrate three people who have each become an important part of Ellijay Jiu Jitsu.

Kim Adamson → Blue Belt 🔵
Daniel Ray → Blue Belt 🔵
Courtany Derengowski → Brown Belt 🟤

I could write a lot about what each of these means — and eventually, I will.

Because belts aren’t really about collecting techniques or surviving some arbitrary amount of time. They’re markers along a much longer path. And every person getting one has their own story about what happened between the last marker and this one.

On October 17, we’re going to tell a little bit of those stories.

And I really hope the people who’ve shared the mats, friendships, struggles, laughs and rounds with these three will come help us celebrate them.

Come roll. Come watch. Come eat. Come celebrate.

Wrapping up another fun class with these killers Tonight!

We had some fun/festive rounds to close out class that had the room buzzing (or maybe that was my heavy breathing! 😮‍💨 😂)… grateful for these gentlemen and how they- despite having regularly active lives with all the ups/downs that come with it- show up consistently and invest in each-other.

👉Something about simulating battle with one another that seems to form these authentically tight bounds.
…probably has something to do with finding a room that you can feel comfortable being vulnerable in.
…and some people never find a room like that (jiu jitsu or not).

…so when you find it, you treasure the fuck out of it! 🙌🙌💚💚

Another fantastic night studying the crucifix position with the gang too! One of my favorite positions!!
