📣FYI EVERYONE📣

I know its crap out there in some place and clear in others. You are all welcome, but not expected. Good judgement goes a long way.
Hope to see y'all. Let's get this year going IN SPITE of all this white bu****it.

Fight training canceled today. It must be bad out if the psychos from the fight team ain't comin out.
Stay in. Stay warm. Stay safe.
We will keep ya updated here about cancelations and such this week.
We'll try and make as many classes as possible available. And try to offer make-up times if possible.

Okay Karen. Whatever. 🤣

Mikey was adorable there for a minute. And in a lot of says he's not wrong. But he's kinda become a bit insufferable. How he reacted after his match with Geo was cute in a sad way. He's just got some tizz. Which I'm told by the kids these days , "does not get the rizz."
Pro grappling (and MMA, but especially grappling) has this unspoken rule about "supplements." Dont ask, dont tell. We all know. Mickey, being as aspie as he is, can not grasp the subtext and just let it be. Good for him for turning down an advantage in order to keep his moral high ground. And good for him for being an insanely good competitor without it. But moral high ground has never increased muscle mass or NO² uptake.

No one has, or ever will, accuse me of doing roids. I've never done anything like it, and I've put off buying the ticket to the TRT train as I get older. I mean, look at me. Strength ain't my highest stat. I should start gearing up and surprise everyone! But that means I have to lift things too. That's almost as bad as running. 🤮
So yall are safe for now.

Open at NOON. :)

Road reports have come back. Interstate is mostly clear. 119 is rough in places. Major roads downtown are mostly clear.

Come in and do the things if you are so inclined.
Otherwise, stay warm, stay safe. This nonsense will be over soon...until the next one. Lol

*Class Schedule shift. Regular schedule starts at Noon*

**This depends on the road conditions mid morning.
I wanted to move the schedule up to give us an opportunity to evaluate the conditions. If irs not bad, we'll be there! If it's bad, this gives us time to get the word out that we have to cancel.

I hate that this weather is wrecking our schedule directly after the holiday break. It'll pass. But that doesn't help get us in and get to learning and working. 😞

❤️ Thank you all for your patience. I said today "I survived the Quarentimes in 2020. This isn't nothin."
But it's still driving me nuts. Lol Thank you to everyon2 who has been coming in over this past week. I have some great stuff planned for when we all get back.

And don't forget, get your Dean Lister tickets ASAP. Event is starting to fill up!!

🤜Get in and get work🤛

I know the weather ain't great. But the mats and the cage got big work this Sunday.
came to visit. We had some new faces, which were immediately punched. Great group of old friends and new.

🤪We goofy. But we ain't no joke.👊 We have fun🥳. And we put in the work💪🏻.
You know us by now. You know who we are and what we can do. You know the level we practice at and you know the level we achieve.
You wanna get better at fighting? JiuJitsu? Kickboxing?
Wanna learn real self defense? Then get here.

Do it. Ask yourself what's really holding you back.

Couple options for young and old tonight.

Normal Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday....SO FAR!
They are threatening to put another 7" of snow on us on Fri and Sat.

We are doing our best to balance access to the gym with common sense and safety. Its not easy cause I wanna be open and available all the time no matter what. But, sometimes I just gotta be nervous and edgy and thank everyone for being patient as nature interrupts society.

Thanks all!

I'm still a bit stuck. Lol Updates for evening coming this afternoon.

7+ years of this program. Still going strong.
Pretty proud if this. One of the first program curriculums I set down, organized, and wrote out. It's definitely been one of my best achievements. Not only does it build a solid foundation in movement and understanding for someone new to grappling, it has a replay factor for those with experience. A lot of folks continually repeat this program as a supplement into their blue belt. There's honestly something in this for anyone.

New Year means same old me. But it also means the gym is taking off again and ready to really grow. Stay tuned for that. Beween all the fun and exciting events, we have some exciting stuff coming for the gym itself.
It wouldn't be to this point if it weren't for all of you. My friends, students, coaches, family, community.

Eyes up. 👀

🥇🥈🥉We had a great time at ! Our kiddos first experience in competition and it went great. Win or lose we saw the work we've done in our short time paying off. Moves from drills executed. Escapes. Some fantastic re-guard!

Couple of our adults went too. Devin had a ton of matches. Joey smoked his division.

Notes taken. Plans made. On to the next!
Prouda y'all. 🙌

🤪SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT🤪

I asked. Yall replied. So as part of our 2 year anniversary day, I'll be doing the Escape Artist seminar.
It's 2 hours of submission escapes and reversals.
You'll see things like making their half-guard Kimura, your submission, turning their half-guard Kimura into an armbar, their armbar becomes your kneebar, and Omoplatas aren't real. Plus a lot more.

Cost: Donation$

Followed by Open Mat.

I will also be giving away a free ticket to our Dean Lister Seminar Jan 26th.

No need to register. Just show up, learn some things, celebrate, and have fun with friends before you go out an get annihilated on booze and dope for the New Years celebration. 🍻🥃🍷🥂🚬🍃
