A big congratulations is in order for Bryn Farris-McManus in reaching her san-kyu, third degree brown-belt in Wado-Ryu karate. Since Brynna joined us, she has become one of the most dedicated and focused students in our school. She helps out with teaching, cleaning, giving rides, she competes, asks great questions, trains with spirit, and is proof that hard work truly pays off. We’re proud of you!

Years ago I watched Fabio Gurgel train with his teacher, Romero Cavalcanti. To a newbie like I was at the time, it looked kind of slow and unexciting. Years later I realized that it was actually jiu-jitsu at a high level and was the way Rickson wanted us to train, focusing on correct ex*****on of movements, not haphazard, trying to win at all costs.
When I have the chance to train technical jiu-jitsu like that, I don’t have an expectation to win or lose. What I look for in myself is, functional and fluid movement, not committing big mistakes, and no one getting injured in the training. It’s not about dominance. It’s simply about trying to make less mistakes than my opponent does. My training partners are often 20-40 years younger than me, so I try to really focus on my posture, connection and breathing. It’s a fascinating science.
