An often under-discussed element of Jiu jitsu is pinning.

A proper pin is the foundation of “position before submission”— you must be able to control your opponent with a pin before successfully moving to a submission.

When we can control the hips, head, and shoulders, we can nullify our opponent’s ability to move, breathe productively, and ultimately escape.

Make it your focus this week to practice effective pinning. Control is what earns you points on the competition mats, and what keeps you safe in self-defense scenarios.

See you on the mats. 🔺

TRAIN WITH PURPOSE 🥋

There is a vast difference between simply showing up to attend class and truly using your time on the mats to improve.

Before every class, give yourself a clear objective to focus on—maintaining better posture when guard passing, controlling a particular position, honing a technique you’ve been working on, etc.

You may not perfectly execute everytime, and that’s absolutely acceptable. The real victory is gathering the data from the “failed” attempts. That’s where the real learning and growth comes from.

When every round has a purpose, even your mistakes become productive. Over time, these small and deliberate improvements will accumulate to something much greater.

Come to class. Pick your focus. Train with intention.

See you on the mats.
