training, Sun Aug 8

Great Class today! We went over two hours and did drills, technique, situationals, and we did some induvidual evaluations in front of the class. Sunday training is a unique training day where the people that show up are giving up their Sunday, their "Rest day" in order to make progress to increase their Jiu Jitsu. I wanted to make sure that they got the most out of their training and walk out of class feeling that they made another jump in their game. got some tough sparring in today (I got some too!) Here, Jeremy & David battle....

Josh Griggs = Blue Belt!

Congratulations Josh Griggs! this man has been training for a very long, long time in various arts. He's been with Team Magnitude just under a year and has made tremendous progress with the Gi work. Easily a Blue Belt and beyond just considering Performance as a criteria and I suspect, if he keeps his momentum, he will reach the Purple Belt in no time! He is a teacher, a student, and a Great guy!!! You gotta get to know him...you will consider him a friend for life...


Josh! Good Work! He has an MMA fight on Aug 20 in the Gladiator Challenge. He is training hard!
