training May 17-22

This week, we're going to focus on drilling a lot of the basics. The drilling will help build the techniques to where they become second nature. If you're in a good match and you're thinking about your technique and when to do it, you're too slow. Your Jiu Jitsu should flow most often time without pause. We will be doing many repetitions and as they say, repetition is the mother of all skills, you will gain new insight to your Jiu Jitsu. Drilling is hard work and often times, is very boring for most people. But like lifting weights, drilling will help to build strength and conditioning in the body and mind to execute the techniques during a match.

Do a lot of your thinking off the mat through studying, analyzing, and research. Use visualization to help condition your mind. Work on developing a game plan of attacks that you like to utilize from the positions that you favor most. Keep a good attitude and know that whatever happens, you will learn from it. It's all about experience. The way you interpret your experience will shape your perspective and in turn will help you translate your Jiu Jitsu game.

Big Jims' Birthday is the 21st! Renee will be throwing a Birthday/UFC party on Saturday, 23rd @ 7pm for him!

Hope you guys can make it! He has a beautiful mat set up at his house and will have Open Mat from 4-6pm before the fights. So, bring your Gi and let's train!
