In addition to increased flexibility Yoga is great for BJJ because it forces you to hold a certain posture/position for an extended amount of time, building not only balance but muscle endurance also. Join Coach Marcia's Yoga class live on Zoom video, Tuesdays & Thursdays at 6:30pm.

When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results. Solo classes, Grappling Dummy classes, Zoom classes, Facebook live classes, YouTube channel, Private Team Facebook group throughout everything we are committed to ensuring your Jiu Jitsu journey keeps moving forward.

It’s time for Tuesday’s tip with head instructor, professor Matt MacDonald. The toe hold is a twisting lock that puts the ankle joint under tremendous pressure. It both extends and bends the tarsal joint in a very uncomfortable fashion. It involves grabbing the foot by the ball of the foot and the toes with a thumb-less grip, and using your other arm as a brace against the opponent’s shin, and connecting your arms by another thumb-less grip. The grip is similar to that of a r...ear naked choke. It can be applied from a variety of leg-locking positions. Looking to take your BJJ skills to the next level?

It’s time for Tuesday’s tip with head instructor, professor Matt MacDonald. Pulling down on the head, squeezing your legs together, and pushing up with your hips make the triangle choke so compact and tight it's like a vice. ALWAYS pull down on the head if you want to finish a triangle.

From our family to yours we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas!

It’s time for Tuesday’s tip with head instructor, professor Matt MacDonald. "In Jiu Jitsu, side control is a dominant ground grappling position where the top combatant is lying perpendicularly over the face-up bottom combatant in such a way that the legs are free and he or she exerts no control over the combatant on the bottom."
