Good night on the mats tonight 💚

Always grateful for this crew… the reps, the laughs, the constant push to get a little better each time we step in.

Big welcome back to Daniel!! glad to have you back in the room, man. It matters.

April’s been all about surviving the worst spots… learning how to stay in the fight when things aren’t going your way.

Now we turn the corner…

As Justin Timberlake would say: it’s gonna be May and we’re shifting to submissions.
Finishing mechanics. Control → pressure → endgame.

If you’ve been riding the wave with us, keep going.
If you’ve been watching from the outside… this is your invite.

Come train.

tonight we went full nerd mode on guard recovery from side control…dialing in the micro details that actually make the difference…

👉not just what to do, but why it works!
📐 FRAMES: where they win, where they fail, and how to make them do the work for you
🦐 HIP ESCAPES (pushing & pulling shrimps): not just movement… but intention + direction
❌ COMMON MISTAKES: exposed and cleaned up in real time

and the big one…
‼️Don’t just escape‼️ - threaten on the way out
.because if all you do is defend… you stay in the conversation…but when you add offense?
you start ending it.

side quest unlocked: turned the squad into a full trading card lineup… apparently XP carries over from the mats 🎮✨

refine. align. ascend. 🔁

Another fun class digging a liiiiiitttle bit deeper into our understanding of inside space and connection! Tonight’s focus was on the big game changer: THE UNDERHOOK!
🙌
“Frames buy time. Underhooks get you out.”
🙌
Always fun upgrading with the OG crew and exploring/troubleshooting together! 💚

Somewhere between getting smashed… and figuring it out…is where the magic happens!

Last night we started digging into: The Underook.

not just grabbing it… but understanding it.

Where it lives.
How to earn it.
How to keep it.
And what it actually does once you have it.

Because the underhook isn’t the escape…
it’s the doorway.

Last nights focus was all about getting off their back, building height, finding options.

…

Also awesome having Kris back in the room from the NGMA fam —
always a favorite, and always brings great energy 👊

And somehow we finished it all off with one of those North Georgia sunsets
that just hits different…

Good training. Good people. Good perspectives shared.

If you’ve been thinking about starting 👉 this is your sign.

Come get a little better… one rep at a time.

…to infinity and the mats ♾️🟩

Another phenomenal class tonight at EJJ. We are learning to RELAX in bad positions..
👉Where some panic.
👉Where some breakdown.
👉Where some frantically make mistakes.
But for us: we started at the beginning:
😮‍💨Breathe.
💨 Calm your breath.
🫁Calm your heart rate.
🧠 Calm your mind.

Deep breath & remind yourself: everything is figureoutable. There’s a technique of everything.

And once you’ve relaxed, you can begin variations of the same conceptual principles:
1. Retain ownership of inside space.
2. Get to an athletic position.
3. Advance.

Slow the game down and you will double down on your understanding of technique…of principles… of fundamentals. And you quickly realize how incredibly valuable and NECESSARY they are!

Excited to dive deeper on Friday! You should join us and start getting comfortable in uncomfortable situations… and be uncommon among the uncommon! 🙌💚

Getting pinned sucks.
Staying pinned is optional.

And that’s exactly where we’re starting this month.

Last night was fun… but it was also intentional.
We’re not jumping ahead to flashy escapes or complicated chains.

We’re slowing it down and asking a better question:

👉 what actually makes someone stuck?

The answer… is inside space.

If you don’t understand inside space, you don’t understand control.
If you don’t fight for it, you’ll lose positions without even realizing why.

Underhooks. Frames. Crossface battles.
Shoulder vs jaw. Elbow vs ribs.

That’s the real fight happening underneath everything else.

So April is about fundamentals…
not the basic version ->> the real version.

The kind you can feel.
The kind that holds up when someone is actually trying to smash you.

And watching this room start to connect those dots…
that’s the part that fires me up the most.

Not just better jiu jitsu..
but better problem solvers… better composure… better responses under pressure.

That’s what this is really about.

Shoutout to everyone on the mats last night..

This group keeps showing up… keeps leaning into uncomfortable positions…
keeps choosing growth over ego.

That’s rare.

If you’ve been thinking about starting,
this is where it begins.

Come for jiu jitsu…
stay for the tribe.

Another fantastic month of deep-dive curriculum in the books and excited for what April brings!
Reflecting tonight and some things are hard to even put this into words…

just really grateful for this room… these ppl

watching people grow in jiu jitsu is one thing…
but watching people grow as humans, in real time… that’s the part that hits deeper.

In confidence… patience… humility… resilience…
learning how to deal with adversity without running from it…

that’s what’s really being built here.

🙌

jiu jitsu has a way of exposing everything (for better or worse, lol)…
your habits, your reactions, your ego, your effort…allllll of it 🙃

and every single person we get to share this room with keeps showing up anyway.

that’s rare.

And honestly… it’s like the line of “be uncommon amongst the uncommon.”

because most people won’t put themselves in uncomfortable positions consistently.
most people won’t choose vulnerability over and over again.

but these guys do.

💚

and the crazy part is…
They don’t need me to explain the value of it.

They feel it.

They feel what those small, almost invisible reps are doing over time.
They feel how things are changing… little by little.

and that’s where everything starts to open up.

🙌

so yeah… this was a fun version of the squad tonight 😂
but behind the colors and the smiles… there’s a lot of real …meaningful… impactful… dare I say: transformative work happening.

and i’m proud of every single one of you.

clay.
emmett.
courtany.
kim.

and the rest of the crew not in the pic but very much a part of this experiment: tommy, daniel, will, laura…and everyone else walking this path with us.

💚

if you’ve been watching from the outside…

come try it.

come feel it for yourself.

come for jiu jitsu…
stay for the tribe 🤙
