BJJ athletes committed to excellence

The Martial Art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires dedication, commitment, and consistency.  For the BJJ athlete to accept this, one must go beyond just showing up for training...one must strive for excellence.

Art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

From day one, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) athletes start learning and memorizing formulas of position, strategy, and techniques that will help guide the practitioner to creating a foundation of learning.

From this foundation, the BJJ practitioner will continue to add lesson, after lesson to their knowledge and experience to eventually become proficient in the Art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

women BJJ athletes love training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as much as the men

BJJ athletes strive for excellence

The key to improvement is to always look to do better.  We want all of our BJJ and MMA students to improve at least 1% every time they come in.  For this to happen, a student must come in with a good attitude, focused and ready to learn, and excited to grow.

The right BJJ training Partners

Having the right training partners is crucial to making consistent gains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  The right training partners are not only there for their own improvements, but will help you to reach new heights.

___________________________

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Team

It's important to train with a variety of training partners.  Some big, some small, some tall, some short...because you need to adapt your Jiu Jitsu with every single person you roll with.

Knowing that you have BJJ training partners that have your best interest in mind, can help you to accelerate growth and improvements and this makes for a much more enjoyable BJJ experience.

Rule #1 on our team is that you take care of yourself.  Protect yourself from potential injury.  Rule #2 is that you protect your training partners.  You cannot learn Jiu Jitsu by yourself.  You need good training partners.  The better your training partners are, the better your Jiu Jitsu will be.

Marco Alvarado, 2014 IBJJF Brown Belt No Gi World Champion

We had the honor of having Marco Alvarado (won last years IBJJF No-Gi World Championships at Brown Belt) as a guest instructor at Excel Jiu Jitsu MMA Oceanside.  Awesome No Gi BJJ class!

Learning the Jiu Jitsu 'language' happens one class at a time.  It's best to learn Jiu Jitsu in little chunks.  There is so much to learn.  Learning the Martial Art of Jiu Jitsu takes a long time and that is why it's best to set goals to keep motivation high and keep dedication strong.

Goal setting is the master key to success

_______________________________

 Setting goals in BJJ is the master skill of success

Marco Alvarado taught a very technical No Gi Jiu Jitsu class last Thursday, April 9th, that put all the techniques in sequence and together in a system, that made it a lot easier to retain the information.

"It's important to stay focused and keep an open mind when it comes to learning BJJ."

Marco Alvarado 2014 IBJJF No Gi Brown Belt World Champion

The Jiu Jitsu lifestyle goes beyond just training.  It's about taking care of yourself, making friends, and striving to put your 'best foot forward'.

Putting your mind to learning and improving every week will help you to improve mind, body and soul.  Our over-all team goal is to improve at least 1% every week and this requires a positive attitude.
