My seven year old daughter started Jiu Jitsu here about seven months ago. She has already learned so much as far as skill. She has also gained confidence and learned patience. She loves it!
We drive 40 minutes one way just to come to classes and it’s worth it. The classes are fun and great exercise. The kids learn how to respect one another, and they are very helpful to each other. If my daughter is struggling with one of the moves any of the children she rolls with will stop and show her how she is supposed to do it, of course the coaches walk around and help as well.
I have recommended, and will continue to recommend them to friends and family. We are very happy. Just try it out, the first week is free and Coach Alex will let you use one of the Gi’s he has on hand. If you plan to stay he will even order a Gi for you.
Coach Alex Takes Silver at World Masters in Las Vegas
As you may already know, Coach Jackson and I (Coach Alex) traveled to Las Vegas this weekend where I was competing at the World Masters. This is the biggest tournament for a bjj practitioner over 30…
After waiting about 7 hours, with a two hour delay, I worked my way through the lightweight division. Along the way I had 4 matches/ 4 wins (3 by submission – the most subs in my division) to make it to the finals match.
The final was against a very tough opponent, Robert Stines, who out-scored me and took gold. Even though this isn’t outcome I was hoping for, I’m pretty proud of my performance altogether. I don’t really play a points game, always trying to go for subs – which I did in this match as well. I went for several subs during our match, never landing any of them. Robert, although tough, never mounted plan for a submission attempt on me, opting to play a points game instead.
What I learned from this match is that I need to work on my takedown defense, and probably need put myself in more tight spots during training. All-in-all, I have faith in my game and would like to keep on my path of going for submissions. As they say… ABC! (always be choking) =)
