Kaizen Academy

A little prep work before 360 JiuJitsu Scott Huston brings his knowledge to Venice for a BJJ seminar on SLX and X Guard. The past two weeks have just been covering entering SLX and X Guard from shin to shin and half guard, and some control details.

What’s your go to attack or sweep from either guard?

Someone on your back may make you question your life’s decisions lol.

🥋 POV: the technique finally clicks mid-roll and everything slows down.

That’s the moment you train for. Not the tap — the understanding. All those slow, detailed reps suddenly showing up on their own: the grip, the posture, the timing. 🔄

You don’t master a position. You just understand it a little better than yesterday, then chase the next detail. That’s the whole game.

Small improvements, every single round. That’s kaizen. 🖤

Who’s rolling this week? 👇

🥋 This is what “watching closely” actually looks like.

Not just calling out a technique and letting them figure it out — every hand placement, every hip angle, every detail corrected in real time. Today it’s the double under stack pass. Small kids, big technique.

This is the difference between a kid who’s “doing jiu jitsu” and a kid who’s actually learning it. Confidence built one correction at a time, not from cheering — from competence. 💪

Discipline. Focus. Respect. The mats teach it before they even realize they’re learning it.

Progress rarely looks dramatic. It looks like showing up, paying attention to the details, and getting just a little better than yesterday.

That’s who we are at Kaizen.

Every round, every rep, every roll is another opportunity to refine our movement, sharpen our mindset, and trust the process. We aren’t here to beat our training partners—they’re the people who help us become better versions of ourselves. Iron sharpens iron. 🥋🔥

Huge thank you to NĀKOA FIGHT CLUB for sending over a care package to test out their tape! 🙌 And yes… they even have a Kaizen design. 🤙

We put it through a sweaty, high-intensity training session, and it didn’t budge. No peeling, no slipping—just solid performance from start to finish. Definitely impressed. 💪

🚨 You don’t get better by watching. You get better by rolling.

This is where technique gets exposed, adjustments get made, and real progress happens.

Every live NoGi round is a chance to test your timing, sharpen your reactions, and build confidence under pressure. Win or lose the exchange, you leave the mat with something to learn.

No egos. Just hard rounds, great teammates, and the pursuit of getting 1% better every day. 🥋🔥

“Details Matter” 👌🏼✅

It’s something I was taught early and I truly believe makes a difference in relating the information to students. Experience tells us what details matter, but being a good teacher comes in how you deliver the details in a manner that translates to the student.

Does your teacher/professor/coach teach the details or just say “secure the back”?

🥋 Thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but nervous about jumping into live sparring? You’re not alone. 👊

That’s exactly why we added our new Gi Fundamentals classes at Kaizen Academy.
