I love these kids. I am so fortunate to be able to coach them and watch as they develop and grow, not just as the amazing athletes and submission grappling students that they are, but also, as the funny, brilliant, kind and compassionate humans that they are. I am grateful to Verde Valley BJJ for creating a space where we can all come together and learn this amazing art of Jiu Jitsu, and where I can hone and refine my skills as both a student and as a coach. We are building something special here!

Rolling with my friend and training partner, Katherine. We’ve been training together for years at this point, sometimes going for hard rounds, sometimes going at it a bit easier.

On this day, we were both dealing with some minor injuries so we agreed to have more of an exploratory, flow round.

Being able to modulate, scale and adapt intensity and goals based on our training partners and how they are feeling is an important part of the journey, and one of the things I value so much about our amazing community here at Verde Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Yep, that’s me (in purple) getting my butt whopped by one of our black belts.
We rolled off-camera so you don’t get to see the multiple times I tapped rolling with this guy. 😵‍💫 “Don’t let me get your arm across your centerline”, he always reminds me.

Champions aren’t made overnight.
Communities aren’t built without dedication.
Progress isn’t made without effort.
Success doesn’t come without failure.

We are here, doing all the things,
and we are all the better for it.
And the effects ripple outward, into our families, into the rest of our lives, and into our other communities.

Grateful to each and every one of these amazing humans who show up on these mats, day after day, through thick and thin, on the good nights and the bad, when life is easy and when life is hard.

As they say, a rising tide lifts all ships,
and good sailors aren’t made in calm harbors. ⚓️
