Wide Open JiuJitsu

Hey guys,

Going to be making little vids to supplement the much larger Orientation videos. Just some odds and ends, things I may have forgotten or helpful tips that didn’t make the final cut for the longer vids.

….

Preregistration is RECOMMENDED when you may need special considerations when playing the games.

Preregistration is MANDATORY for sessions that will impact the planning of our instructors’ days (when we get to the gym or get home from the gym), or for future advanced sessions.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Let’s keep improving 🤙🏽

My only regret is that I couldn’t make the Diddy bottle dance 😞

ANYWAYS… dems da rules.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or if I left something out.

Next orientation video will be on the method we use to get good at the kicking of the butts, as well as what a typical session looks like. Following that we’ll take a look at the goals and culture we’re trying to achieve with our team.

Now go train 🤙🏽

Jeez these are taking forever. Sorry for the slow rollout, I want these videos to be as clear as possible and unfortunately it still requires a few takes to get my message across (cameras and the permanence of the internet make me a little nervous).

This video is Orientation video #2 discussing all of our “basic” rules for the team. There aren’t many and if you follow these, you’ve got all the information you need to get started training with us! Let me know if you have any questions. Next video will be on banned actions while training, look forward to that dropping soon 🤙🏽

Hey everyone,

Orientation Day came and went without us actually attending 🤣 too much snow.

So instead, I’ll be releasing videos giving you all the same info I’d planned for on the day.

This first video was probably one of the harder ones to make as I had planned for this to be more of an informal intro (to me as a person, as a coach and a grappler) and that didn’t work as well on video.

Instead, this video covers the 3 things that I think make me most qualified to be a grappling coach.

Some honorable mentions include:

- beating 200+ pounders since I was a teenager
- Genius level pattern recognition (I took a tik tok quiz)
- The most humble humbler that ever humbled
- Expert Aux holder (my playlists are legendary)
- Collegiate wrestling experience (even if most of the experience was spent getting physically/emotionally wrecked)
- Touch of the ‘tism
- My guillotine choke won 2 Grammys, 2 Oscars and best truck in its class by J.D. Power and Associates

Please understand: I’m a coach and I am a grappler. I’m not an influencer, professional content producer or public speaker. If the videos suck… well, I’m improving 🤷🏽‍♂️ as long as they do the job, then, for now at least, I’m happy.

Next video will be on the rules of the gym 🤙🏽

And if you want to know more about me as a person, show up and train 😁 best way to get to know somebody.

😕 well… that sucks.

Enjoy the snow!
