We all have gone through live training with an opponent that is seemingly three steps ahead at all times. Thinking in a bad position is always difficult, but we can train ourselves to handle stressful situations through Jiu-Jitsu. Being able to move efficiently and find solutions under stress is an invaluable skill that you will […]

Consistency is the key to achieving your goals in the new year, and your training is no different. Every January, many people commit to big changes-only to fall off by the time February arrives. Real progress comes from showing up regularly, staying patient, and avoiding burnout. It’s also important not to compare yourself to others. […]
