The Reality About Switching Teams

I hate to start this off with any “creonte” references because the topic of this blog isn’t really about that… The truth is, more often than not, many of us start our Jiu-Jitsu journey somewhere but don’t always end up where we started. Truth be told, life happens. We may have to move to another […]

Jiu-Jitsu Prizefighting /// By: Vincent Inoncillo

In order for a product to be sold, there has to be some factor of value and benefit for the consumer. Clothing keeps us warm and protects our bodies, food gives us energy and nutrients, schooling gives us knowledge and so forth. Entertainment gives us many different emotions such as happiness, sadness and excitement. Gordon […]

The Dreaded Injury and Time Off /// By: Brittney Martin

Jiu-Jitsu has got to be one of the most accident prone sports I’ve ever been in! The freak accidents get me the worst personally! From the random bumps and bruises to the major ones, like a broken foot! They all take you off the mats for some amount of time. I spent the majority of […]

The Dreaded Reality of Plateaus in Jiu-Jitsu

The psychology behind belt promotions and plateaus in Jiu-Jitsu is a phenomenal and very interesting thing. Many of us go into a new belt promotion confidently, which is often illustrated in a noticeable improvement on the mat. There is something unconscious that happens after getting a new belt where you find yourself with “super powers…” […]

Grow your Spirit: Training Twice a Day, The Wim Hof Method, & Past Life Regressions /// By: Rachel Nelson

I spent a stent of time training twice a day and it sucked. It turned into a good suck that revealed a few things about myself to myself. The first was I write myself off as unprepared, unequipped, and expecting to have little out-put at the thought of attending a second class; the second is […]

Ladies, Stop Comparing Yourself to the Guys! /// By: Brittney Martin

I’ve been training Jiu-Jitsu for about four years now. It wasn’t until recently that I realized I was looking at myself in classes all wrong. I would go to class multiple times a day and try to get in as many classes as I could to get better, but in the end I would still […]

You’re Overinflated and Overrated, Why Your Jiu Jitsu Isn’t Reflective of Your Actual Skill /// By: Jose La Guarda

“What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, New York City, Las Vegas – all names synonymous with jiu-jitsu. Not just any jiu-jitsu, real jiu-jitsu. Wherever you go in these cities, you’re guaranteed to pass by […]

Balancing Love and Jiu-Jitsu

Earlier this week I had (belatedly) congratulated a teammate who just received his blue belt. Another teammate chimed in and said, “Yeah AND he just had a baby too!” I thought this was fantastic, and also surprising too (like “your wife actually lets you train?”)… because I’d see him at the gym at least three […]

New Year, New You?

With 2019 now in full swing, many of us (especially on social media) have been reflecting on the last year and some resolutions or goals for the upcoming year. I don’t know about you, but as a new year unfolds like a blank slate, I can’t help but think about some short and long-term goals […]
