One of the coolest aspects of martial arts is the connections made by simply showing up. Our pal Joe over at Cheticamp Martial Arts talks about this over at his gym. In fact, it's a theme we see pop up again and again.

Earlier in the week we received an inbox from a man named Shane inquiring about our jiu jitsu classes. Our BJJ instructor Jourdain was out for Thursday's class to attend an event so Carlin was subbing in. The man who sent the inquiry showed up, and after chumming with Carlin about his experience and love of teaching Carlin gave him the liberty of facilitating the class.

Shane led 2 hours of technique on a whim with thoughtful instruction in a totally new environment and everyone walked away with a new connection forged. Cool!

Shane will be back today for open mat with more technique to share and to roll.

Wakey wakey! Let's get to work. ๐ŸŽ

Many thanks to our friend Ro for making the trek across the island to break down an arm drag sequence encompassing grips, take down, back attack to short choke. Ro's experience and attention to detail makes it easy for students to grasp techniques and work his sequences into rolls.

And thank you to our members for coming out on a beautiful Saturday in the summer to learn and roll. Everyone put in great work today ๐Ÿ™
