Resilience Development

Iowa City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has a sweet new site.

Owned and operated since 2008 by one of my Brothers By Choice, Jason Clarke, ICBJJ is one of the best places in the Midwest to train.

Whether you’re looking for BJJ, developing your personal defense strategy, or overall fitness, stop in and see what they have going on:

Another fantastic training opportunity coming up shortly here in early August.

If you haven’t taken any courses from Craig Douglas (or maybe you’ve only taken ECQC) Edged Weapons Overview is an excellent place to go next. 

There isn’t a better two days worth of training on the subject of realistic use of blades inside two arms reach. 

As I understand it, this one is also being put on by a solid host with a great facility. 

Edged Weapon Overview (EWO) - Minnesota — Shivworks New for 2025. Your training scenarios will be recorded, and the video will be provided for your future review to help develop your training. You will also be granted 3 months of access to our online community, where we post lost additional content. All times are local for the training location.

This is going to be an extremely informative two-day workshop, and Kerry is charging NOTHING for his time, effort, and expertise. Don’t pass up this opportunity to train with one of the best!
