This is a great fight showcasing BJJ. Knowing BJJ doesn’t mean you’re Superman and can defeat any opponent. Knowing BJJ teaches you to defend the attack, weather the storm to minimize damage. If you can do this, then it’s much easier to defeat your opponent/attacker when they gas out. BJJ is a great way to get fit. Physically and emotionally exhaust your body/mind to it’s limits, to help you rebuild body/mind. BJJ is amazing in itself, even if you don’t believe in defending yourself against an attacker. However, if you don’t have a choice about defending yourself...Be like Little Nog!! 🤙

Anyone want to get rid of "Learn to read" tools for kindergarten level reading? Dry erase books, flash cards or hooked on phonics... can barter for toilet paper ;-P

To Zoom or not to Zoom... That is the question. They’re getting some bad press on security issues. Any suggested alternatives?

Hello (from the Inside) An Adele Parody by Chris Mann 04/01/2020

Where is everyone restocking food supply? Costco, Safeway & Whole-foods online are not offering a delivery date. I needed to charge my battery on my truck, so I drove by Almaden Costco. I wasn't planning to go in fortunately, as there were 50+ people, single file all wearing gloves and masks. Pretty surreal to see what's usually on the news or a movie. What's your plan? I haven't made to this guys level, but our household has watched it and laughed a lot. My son walks around singing that he wants a burger with cheese.

Keep your workout going with coach Adam during this shelter in place, so you don't suffer when we get back to the mats!

A little late for today, but it'll be a great way to start your morning. Get your household up for a morning workout, do stuff together. It's going to be a beautiful morning to get out for fresh air and and boost up your vitamin B, before the rains come again.

Timeline photos 04/01/2020

It looks like your opponent went to extreme measures to avoid having to get in the cage with you! It was selfish of him to make us all have to shelter in place to avoid a battle with you!

In case you haven’t heard yet, has officially cancelled the May 9th San Jose card. I was hardly surprised but extremely disappointed non the less, I hope we kick the p**s out of this virus quickly so we can all get back to work! When I get info about rescheduling I will let you guys know 🙏

03/24/2020

We need to have a team and trust each other during these difficult times... we also need to take accountability for our own actions.

03/18/2020

Keeping a routine during these times is a great idea. Kids need structure and long term goals. We’re running school hours from 9-12 PM(when CoronaTime is over please give your school teachers a raise😝). We’re getting our workout in and LOTS of playing. We’re also rationing our supplies, ultimately just not “Wasting” so much. On another note, with this social distancing, I’m officially the best BJJ practitioner in “My” world! 😝

03/17/2020

Hey guys! Looks like the city is officially on lockdown. I know we are all deeply missing our training. During this lockdown time, it’s important for us all to stay physically and mentally fit. Today is a beautiful day outside and everyone should go out with a tank top on and absorb all the vitamin D they can, it’ll boost your mood and keep you healthy. I know some people are panicking during this situation and others are remaining very calm. Let’s come together as a team and help anybody who may be less prepared. Feel free to reach out on this post or PM me. I can’t wait to see you on the mats. In good times and bad times, it’s always fun to choke your friends out! 😝

Continue To Support Your BJJ Gym Even If They Close Over The Coronavirus 03/14/2020

Ugh!! Of course it’s going to rain everyday for the next week. Already missing training...I guess I’m gonna get real strong doing push-ups! Thank you everyone for the support!

Continue To Support Your BJJ Gym Even If They Close Over The Coronavirus The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak is starting to affect the jiu-jitsu community, with multiple large tournaments — including the UAEJJF Abu Dhabi World Pro and IBJJF Pans — being canceled or postponed.

We are living in unique times. The health and safety of our students, staff, instructors and our community have always been our highest priority. We continuously strive to keep our schools clean and disinfected and be rest assured the products we use kills Human Coronavirus. This week we ramped up our cleaning protocols even further as a response to concerns. However, that does not address the call from our government for social distancing. A week ago I never imagined I would write this to our students but after much thought, we have come to the decision to temporarily shut down both the Santa Cruz and San Jose schools starting tomorrow, Saturday, March 14th to do our part in helping slow the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19. We will remain closed for at least one week and will re-assess the situation again next Friday. We appreciate your support so much, especially in these trying times. We want you to know that we are committed to paying our staff and our instructors during this difficult time so as not to impact their families negatively. We ask that you do not cancel or freeze your account so that we may continue to pay our employees and cover our operating expenses. We hope this will be a temporary situation. In addition, our Watsonville school will remain open at this time for students who are not immunosuppressed, do not show signs of illness and have not been exposed to the virus. Thank you again for your support! Stay well!
