People ask me all the time how to get better at Jiu Jitsu.
The answer is simple: show up and train.
But here's something I think more people should do...
Write down what you learned.
After years of coaching, I realized most people forget the details by the next class. Not because they weren't paying attentionβthere's just a lot to remember.
So I made a journal.
Nothing fancy. Just a simple way to track techniques, positions, lessons learned, and your progress over time.
Pretty cool seeing students already putting it to use.

π SAVED BY THE BELL...
If you grew up in the '90s, you probably heard those words and immediately started humming the theme song.
Fast forward a few decades, and it's pretty cool to see Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Mario Lopez both spending time on the jiu-jitsu mats.
And if you've ever rolled before... you know "saved by the bell" takes on a whole new meaning when the timer goes off just before you get tapped. π

π ANOTHER STRONG WEEK IN THE BOOKS
We wrapped up the week with a great night on the mats. Yoga for Recovery, Women's Only, and Open Mat all had solid turnout and a great atmosphere. π₯πͺ
Every week, we're seeing more people commit to showing up, putting in the work, and helping each other improve. That's what makes this academy special.
Take some time to recover this weekend, then we'll do it all again next week.
If you've been thinking about getting started, we'd love to have you join us.
