Hey kids. This should look familiar. Get the under hook. Keep the space tight. Back trip. You win. Hooray.

Start with negotiation tactics.

Use a measured retreat towards high ground or a non hostile crowd using distance control and frames.

Fully engage as an absolute last resort. Close the distance, maintain off balancing pressure, simple takedown, pin using knee on belly while controlling it’s many ‘hands.’

Resume negotiation tactics at your discretion, gentle poking is not illegal, remember that your safety is paramount.

Note: Do not turn and run, you will lose your opportunity to respond. Hope of mercy is not a desirable option.

Do not pull guard.

Thank Jesus.

Thank yourself.

Thank Holy City Jiu Jitsu after that.

Classes canceled today!

For Jiujitsu fighting style you must mind the distance every moment. All the way in or all the way out to maintain safety!

So for today, it is all the way out where the danger of icy driving conditions cannot touch you.

The sun’ll come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar.

See you on the mats again soon.

Beginners class at 6 AM Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

You can get there. You just have to go to sleep at 9 PM or if you like to do things the hard way you can set your alarm.

Change one thing change everything, change one big thing, change everything big.

Sometimes you’re the hammer sometimes you’re the nail, but everyone has fun making their Jiu Jitsu better, same with life.
