Great collaboration night on the mats with our neighboring Judo club Uplands judo club Ottawa!
They shared some excellent judo instruction and I had the chance to teach some Japanese Jiu Jitsu in return. Always a great experience learning from each other, and building strong connections within the martial arts community.
Big congratulations to Madison and Jayson on their well-earned promotions, I felt so lucky to be present for it!

In sparring, distance is everything. Use this image as a guide to help you determine what techniques can be effectively executed based on your distance.

Kick Distance: Slightly farther than punching range—enough space to extend your leg without losing balance.
Punch Distance: Close enough to reach your target without
overextending.
Elbow/knee Distance: Very close— when you’re almost touching your opponent.
