Insight BJJ had an amazing showing at NAGA Austin (North American Grappling Association) earlier this month with 10 competitors winning 12 gold medals, 9 silver medals and 2 bronze medals. We are so proud of you all!!
2017 Off to a Great Start!
Wow! 2017 has been very good for the Insight Family! We’ve been fortunate enough to have some great opportunities presented to us and those haven’t gone wasted!
In the first week of January; Coach Alex Henley, his son Grayson, and blue belt student David Altgelt were all on the Pro BJJ event, Texas Submission Hunter 8. Alex and Grayson had impressive submission wins over their opponents, and David had a dominant performance that ended in a draw.
Then in February, Coach Alex and Grayson competed at IBJJF Houston (Grayson’s first time since he was just promoted to blue belt in January) where they both took gold in their divisions AND the absolute divisions, respectively.
In early March, Coach Alex competed at his next pro event, Fight 2 Win Pro 27 (the big show) against judo black belt/BJJ brown belt, Dagoberto Chapa, where Alex had a quick and dominant match that began with a take down. You can watch the end of the match here: Alex’s Bow and Arrow Choke finish at #F2WPro27 (over 13k views in 2 days!)
To top it off, we had some great results at the next day’s tournament. And with only 6 competitors, made the top 10 teams list!! Great job Team Insight! Keep up the good work!
How to Make Your Jiu Jitsu Better?
Every BJJ practitioner wants to better their game, right? For that matter every musician, accountant and rodeo clown probably feels the same way. So what’s the secret to getting better at BJJ (or anything else?) As the old joke goes, (Q:) “Excuse me, sir. How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” (A:) “Practice, practice, practice.“
No matter your reason for training Jiu Jitsu – exercise, competition, self-defense – you’ll see the improvement of your skills are directly correlated with the amount of mat time you get. If you come only once per week or less, you most likely notice you’re getting passed up by the folks who are coming 3-6 times per week. To really retain what you’ve learned, you should be shooting for a minimum of 3 classes per week. More if you can manage it. This is most important if your goal is self-defense. You need these techniques to be second nature.
If you’re coming less than once per week, you’re not getting what you can from BJJ. Sure, you’ll learn something, but the chances of successfully using the techniques you’ve learned in a real situation or competition are greatly diminished.
