NIGHTY NIGHT! That's one of Bens' favorite expressions! Here he is applying one of his deadly chokes! Max committed to the tournament on November 8! Yay!!! He is working hard. I have high hopes for this man...

Jaime working with AJ on their chokes...

Jim and Ray battle!

Jaime!!! The difference from just a couple of months ago is astonishing! There's not many people that can take it to big Jim! But the most impressive thing to say...everyone loves rolling with Jaime! Smooth...

Tito making sure Charlie is wearing underware!

I'm working the choke!

Charlie working through some pain. When Jiu Jitsu guys get a lot of sparring in through the week, they end up collecting a bunch of nagging pains that they carry with them. But the committment keeps them training through the annoyance. Charlie is a STUD!

speaking of STUDS...here Bryce chokes the SNOT out of Jaime!!!

Go Bryce!!!

again! Here he goes after Gio!!! Go Bryce!!!!

BRYCE, THE CONQUERER!!!!

(Not in the pic, but he choked me out, and Charlie out!!! Go Bryce!!!)

training, Mon Oct 12

Great class tonight! Everyone worked really hard and got a lot of good work in. We worked on some special guillotine attacks with some counters. I say special because the way they're done require much skill and timing. Good stuff! I know this pic came out blurry (below) but I think it still came out kinda cool! Andrew taking Charlie down.

Ray getting the tap on Andy. These two men are both competing in the No-Gi worlds! These guys are both studs!!!

This week, we'll continue to do more standing grappling work also prepare for the IBJJF No-Gi World Championships coming up on November 8.

training, Fri Oct 9

Lots of good training today! Guys are working hard and pushing to get to the next level. Every training session is important! Here, Ryan has Andrew's back...

Max and Jaime go to war! It's important to know guys that even though every one works hard, we're always looking after one another. This is not the Super Bowl Championships, this is training. We're trying to use as much Jiu Jitsu techniques as possible each ane every match. This is what helps elevate each other to the next level...

Bruce and Jeremy both, taking each other to the next level!
