Huge THANK YOU to the Roosevelt County Health Council for letting us set up at the Celebrate Recovery & Su***de Prevention Glow Walk on Saturday. It was great to talk to the community about the benefits of BJJ for mental health as well as hear the powerful testimonies. A beautiful reminder about the power of community.

Gerry Gi Skellieton was excited to show off his Fancy Pajama Set so kids could see and feel what a Gi is. He knows that new things can sometimes be really scary. Luckily, everyone thought he was pretty cool. Catch Gerry the next time we’re at an event!

Happy Monday Current AND Future Sindalu Community!

Every single Black Belt had a day one. No one walks in perfect (well maybe that one kid but I’m not convinced he isn’t Hercules) and we were all filled with various levels of nerves and excitement.

Here are our key tips for day one - hey long term rollers, drop your best tips or encouragement below!

✅ Wear comfortable workout clothes. You need to be able to move freely with no restrictions. A GI isn’t required initially.

✅ Avoid heavy meals right before class but make sure you have eaten. Keep your energy levels up!

✅ Stay hydrated and bring a water bottle. For our adults, the 8 am iced coffee is not enough to get you through the 6 pm class. We will be sweating, especially on GI weeks.

✅ Ask Questions! We are here so everyone can get better. The community is invested in your growth!

✅ Be ready to learn. This path is filled with opinions, styles, failures, confusion, frustration, connection, and pure joy. Keep an open mind when you show up!

This week is an excellent opportunity to take the shot.

Happy Monday Sindalu Community!

When you step inside a gym, you’ll be met with individuals who tell you they think about Jiu-Jitsu differently.

It’s a sport.
It’s a game.
It’s self defense.
It’s therapy.
It’s art.
It’s a full body work out.
It’s all in the mind.
It’s all in the movement.

From the hobbyist to the comp bugged, we want to bring every view to the table. These are the ways to make our form incredible. A well rounded artist on the streets and on the mat who spams more than one singular move forever.

Fundamentals this week will review standing self defense and then we will shift to deep half guard for the advanced.

Happy Monday Sindalu Community!

One of the most important lessons to learn is that everything in life worth doing, is worth doing it half way. 50% is more than zero.

Half guard is more than no guard. See you on the mats 🫡 NOGI | Kids 5:15 | Fundamentals 6:00 | Advanced 6:45

For those who didn’t know, September is Su***de Prevention Month.

Community and belonging are a huge part of su***de prevention. We are not meant to carry burdens alone. We hope that Sindalu feels like a safe place for everyone. There isn’t an ask to “leave it all behind” to show up here. Don’t check your humanity at the door. Come in on the bad days. When you’re tired. When you’re scared. When everything feels like too much. When it feels like not at all. Don’t roll. Don’t speak if you need. Be present. In community. Not alone. Let some carry that day with you.

When you’re ready, the mats will catch you. Let you run, beat, and sweat the heavy out. We practice falling so we can be confident in our ability to land safely and get back up.

Reach out to 988 for support. Call. Chat. Text.

Happy Monday Sindalu Community!

Both schools will be closed for classes today 9/7. Our Albuquerque location will have open mat at 11 instead. Celebrate the labor movement with body movement.

We’ll see you back for classes on Tuesday. This week is based in foundational concepts - arm bar and arm bar escapes. Not promising to make Rhonda’s by the end of the week. We are confident everyone should be able to snap pasta though or steal candy from babies. You get what you put in. 😌

Outside looking in, it may be hard to wonder why people enjoy jiu-jitsu. After all, it is light murder simulation. For a lot of us it’s more than just physical activity. That is probably the least interesting thing you’ll find on the mat.

You can find:
1. Courage
2. Bravery
3. Coordination
4. Hope
5. Confidence
6. Belonging
7. Support
8. If your lucky - best friends
9. Problem solving skills
10. Your backbone

This sport isn’t about how much muscle you can gain or weight you can loose. How fast you can level up or how bad ass you think you are. It’s intentional. It’s grounding. It’s about learning when to grit through it and when to let go of something no longer serving you. How to use pressure to your advantage. Managing the distance to manage the damages. We build skills that shape who we are on and off the mat. Check your ego at the door and find out why the weight lifting bros say this is one of the hardest things they’ve done.

Happy Monday Sindalu Community. The sun is shining, the tank is clean!

Do you remember in high school when you told your math teacher you wouldn’t ever need to understand triangles this well? No? Just us? Well... They’re the strongest shape and that’s pretty cool, I guess. The average bear isn’t using triangles all the time though. We pay people for that.

Math teachers, we have a feeling you’ll love this. It’s a perfect week to review triangles and triangle escapes. What was a pivotal shape in school comes back to haunt the adults in the gym. Triangles ARE the strongest shape. Fantastic for snatching heads. Hey kids, that means this week technically counts as algebra, geometry, and physics tutoring.
