Complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is based around 6 core areas: Stand-Up Self-Defense; Ground Fighting; Striking; Clinch Work; Takedowns; and Philosophy. We cover scenarios so students can practice the "verbal Jiu-Jitsu" aspect of Stand-Up Self Defense pretty much every class.

There's a lot to unpack from yesterday's class. Complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is based around 6 core areas: Stand-Up Self-Defense; Ground Fighting; Striking; Clinch Work; Takedowns; and Philosophy. Do my students know how to throw hands? You bet. Kick? Absolutely. Is this the "Go-To" in a Self-Defense situation? Absolutely not. And these scenarios must be practiced and instructors must engage parents in these conversations. facebook.com/jujitsuamericas

Classic from Capital waaaaaaayyy back when I was a White Belt...a big chunk of the core of the original 0700 Crew, minus Jarrod Waetjen, who was probably taking this pic, and Israel Parra and a couple others...the guy in the BDUs, Sam, died earlier this year in a HALO accident in AZ. I am convinced he was jumping with trainees, and one of them screwed up, and he sacrificed his altitude to pull the other guy's parachute. RIP Sam.
