Have Fun While Training: It’s not often that you can associate such a strenuous activity with fun. Instructors encourage students (and not just the young ones!) in a rewarding environment. They want you to learn something new each day. You will be pushed, of course, and you may very well fail, but good instructors will go out of their way to make sure you’re actually enjoying the process. Exercise should be fun, not a chore. With BJJ, you’ll want to keep returning to class,... once we are back open of course #zuma #zumateam #zumacombatsocialclub #girlsingis #bjj #bjjlifestyle #bjjgirls #bjjtraining #bjjmemes #bjjtechnique #bjjlife #bjjfamily #bjjmotivation #bjjeveryday #jiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #jiujitsumotivation #jiujitsulife #jiujitsufamily #jiujitsustyle #jiujitsuforeveryone #jiujitsufeminino #jiujiteiras #yyj #yyjfit #yyjfitness #yyjfitnessmotivation #victoriabc #victoriabccanada #victoriabcfitness See more

First, a big thank you to all our students following our Covid-19 protocols and policies and making ZUMA a clean/safe training environment. We had a visit from VIHA yesterday and they were very impressed how we are making things work at ZUMA. VIHA is even going to consider taking some of our protocols to implement at other similar venues. Unfortunately our glowing review from VIHA cannot supersede the new Government mandate to close ALL fitness facilities, including Martial Arts, effective immediately. We are currently working on sending out a detailed email with all the important information on this closure so please check your emails. If you are not receiving our emails, please email [email protected]

Wrestling for BJJ: Wrestling has quite a few moves that jiu-jitsu players can use successfully in BJJ tournaments, MMA matches or even in self defence scenarios. Some are takedowns, some are reversals or escapes on the ground, made to turn the tables on an adversary, and some are set-ups, designed to create openings for takedowns and throws but easily adapted to open the door for submissions. You might already know a few moves, but adding a wrestling class to your training r...outine is a helpful addition to your toolbox. What’s the takeaway? Learn the wrestle!

THE X-PASS: SIMPLE, VERSATILE AND EFFECTIVE. Passing the guard can be one of the most difficult tasks in BJJ. It can be nearly impossible to pass your opponent’s guard. Developing a good guard passing game is essential to improving in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The X pass is one of the best and simplest ways to pass the open guard. The pass occurs when you are in a one in and one out passing position. This means that one of your legs is in between your opponent’s legs, and th...e other is on the outside. For instance, in De LA Riva, Reverse De La Riva, and many other open guards, you will naturally be in the one in one out position. You must keep one hand on your opponent’s chest or lapel to keep them on the mat, and the other on their knee on the side you’re passing. Want more info on how to effectively pass the guard?

The uppercut (formerly known as the undercut; sometimes also referred to as the upper) is a punch used in boxing that travels along a vertical line at the opponent's chin or solar plexus. It is, along with the cross, one of the two main punches that count in the statistics as power punches.

There's a reason your jab is also known as your "one". It's a foundational movement that sets the scene for building boxing combinations, learning a variety of complementary boxing skills, figuring out how your body transitions from the starting stance to a hit, and getting comfortable in your gloves. Despite being overshadowed by some of the more powerful punches in boxing, learning to throw the perfect jab is a great way to incorporate a good snap into your training. The ja...b is still an important fundamental punch in boxing and deserves to be taught comprehensively.#zumateam #zumacombatsocialclub #boxing #boxingtraining #boxingworkout #boxinglife #boxingdrills #boxinggloves #boxinggirl #boxinggym #jab #punch #mma #mmastriking #mmatraining #mmafighter #mmagirls #mmaworkout #mmawomen #ufc #ufcfighter #ufctraining #striking #strikingcoach #yyj #yyjfit #yyjfitness #victoriabc #victoriabccanada #victoriabcbuzz See more

Establishing Dominance with the Jab: The jab is often used to establish dominance in the ring, which is also known as ring control. You can throw the jab while boxing in the ring to test your opponent and set them up for power punches. Snap a punch at your opponent several times with a double or triple jab in different locations to cause them to flinch or blink during sparring. When you see that they've let their guard down, capitalize on the opening, and bring in a powerful... two punch-- A.K.A. a straight right-- behind the jab. #zumateam #zumacombatsocialclub #boxing #boxersofinstagram #boxingbc #boxingtraining #boxingworkout #boxinglife #boxingdrills #boxinggloves #boxinggym #mma #mmatraining #mmafighter #mmaworkout #mmafights #mmalifestyle #mmafight #mmalife #ufc #ufctraining #ufcworkout #jab #striking #strikingcoach #yyj #yyjfit #yyjfitness #victoriabc #victoriabccanada See more

Boxing Tip: Use angles. Sideways movement is unpredictable. Back and forth moving is predictable. When you throw out a jab, any untrained person will generally lean back to try and get out of the way. There is some merit of that in boxing, but in general, it is a predictable response and one that leaves you in no position to counterpunch. A far better option is to step to an angle or slip the punch. It is so much more unpredictable (you can move in a number of angles w...ith a number of rhythms), plus it sets you up to counter attack. #zumateam #zumacombatsocialclub #boxing #boxingtraining #boxingworkout #boxinglife #boxingdrills #boxinglifestyle #mma #mmatraining #mmafighter #mmafights #mmalifestyle #mmafitness #mmastriking #ufc #ufctraining #mmaworkout #yyj #yyjfit #yyjfitness #yyjbusiness #victoriabc #victoriabccanada #punch #bagwork #lefthook #workout #workoutoftheday #workouts See more

Congratulations on your well earned black belts @zumamomma @greghill16 @mungomartino Your dedication to the sport of Jiu-Jitsu over the last 12-14 years has been unwavering and it is a pleasure to recognize you for all your hard work, knowledge and perseverance. Unlike many other activities, in jiu-jitsu, you know when you level up. It's baked into the system. You don't get to level up until you earn it, and you carry that with you, whether you like it or... not. Every time you step on the mat, you're communicating where you are on the journey to your peers. You don't wear the belt. You are the belt. #zumateam #zumacombatsocialclub #bjj #bjjlifestyle #bjjtraining #bjjlife #bjjgirls #bjjfamily #bjjtechnique #bjjwomen #bjjeveryday #blackbelt #bjjblackbelt #jiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #jiujitsulife #jiujitsugirls #jiujitsujourney #jiujitsufamily #jiujiteiros #jiujiteiras #jiujitsuforeveryone #jiujitsuforlife #jiujitsublackbelt #yyj #yyjfit #yyjfitness #victoriabc #victoriabccanada #viccity See more

Super strong sweep from DLR with the lapel. Using the lapel also makes a smooth transition into passing the guard.
