The Nogi crew on Sunday continuing their bolo, crab ride and leglock combinations. They played many of the cla games taught by in terms of controlling legs before looking at some of the concepts surrounding generating back exposure and being “sticky” when we have a good position as not to lose it.

We had some good rounds afterwards in the heat as well ☀️.

If you want a good example on how to generate massive skill development look at Oscar and Moses’ round in the last clip:

Both are mindful of the weight and skill gap (which is also why in our Nogi classes we have had no major injuries yet 🤞) but they always come to training with a goal on what they’re working on.

They stick to those areas of focus when they grapple to improve at incredibly fast rates, even if they have less weekly mat time than some other people due to work or other commitments, their results, skills and discipline speak loudly. They also care about their training partners and, as a result, elevate the room massively. 🥋😎

If you want to improve too using the methods done by the best in the world then come on down and find an awesome community waiting for you. 👊🔥

We spent a long but a Fantastic day in York today. Everyone worked so hard and did their best! Some of our players were competing for the first time and most of them are late starters (over 30) We won 2 🥈and 2 🥉. Well done everyone. I am so proud of you!

Our members get ranked by an interesting guy from Texas 🫡 , do we do a part 2 soon for members or podcast guests not on here?

At our dojo we like to have a laugh after we train really hard.

Come down and meet the team in Horsforth and Leeds if you’re of that same mindset and you want to get some really good skills and have fun. Just check out our website or shoot us a dm!

Busy Nogi session today!

After reviewing our successful comp footage from last Saturday taking away things to improve we went straight into looking at how to combine our leglocks with the current meta surrounding leg drags, wedging and rolling back takes and the many bolo variations.

We looked and troubleshooted what to do if things go wrong and playing lots of constraint based games surrounding this topic causing everyone to develop nicely and gain a better understanding and skill level! 😁

Nogi every Sunday 10-1 in Horsforth, shoot us a dm or check our website for details!

A few Friday night rounds. Some days quiet, some days crazy busy but whoever turns up always work hard! 😎

The guys are doing shark tanks here, it’s easy to do well when you’re fresh but harder to do so when you’re tired and been training and working a long week! Despite how you feel, judo is the answer so come on down. 😁

Our team working hard, getting ready for those competing soon in Judo and Nogi and for those who just want a little fun to make themselves feel better and fitter!

Whether it’s judo, nogi, mma or other you’re in the right place and it’s always a good and tough session with a genuine cerebral focus on specific skills, fitness and fast development.
