*** HOW HARD CAN YOU PUNCH?? ***
Want to find out? Iām pretty sure Iām the only gym around (Washington/Oregon) that has a PowerKube system for testing striking power & accuracy with state of the art technology.
I canāt tell you how many ābig strong guysā Iāve seen be baffled because they donāt actually have the power they believe themselves to have (rude awakening that their years of lifting didnāt translate).
But with a few fixes and proper body mechanics, that power can be properly translated into an effective punch/strike, seen in realtime!
Want to know if you could actually throw a shot that puts someone to sleep? Curious if your self-defense strikes would even have enough force to do real damage to a person? Can you even hit accurately when you try to throw hard?
Only one way to find out⦠š„
Jiu Jitsu is about positioning yourself or your opponent so you have leverage and they donāt. This is why the smaller/weaker person can overcome a stronger/larger adversary. This is an example of a tiny positional change producing a massive advantage.
Jiu Jitsu is full of these āah ha!ā moments.
If itās been a while since youāve had an āah ha!ā moment (or are still waiting for one), you NEED to take a class with me to see what itās like to just āget itā instead of feeling lost, confused, or out of place.

Flashback to 2018ā
Running classes out of my garage, just after a self-defense workshop where I taught everyone how to effectively & easily strangle an attacker with their own T-Shirt.
This was one of my āDressed To Killā workshops.

Hurt my back over the weekend, so unfortunately Jiu Jitsu isnāt in the cards tonight. š
I will still have striking classes this evening like usual, but I will be having a date with some epsom salt & a bottle of ibuprofen after class ššØ

One of my long time, absolute favorite training partners sent me this, reminding me how far weāve come & how where thereās a will, thereās a way.
I remember this day clearlyāI attached an ice pack, wrapped the leg & stabilized it (we didnāt know it was actually broke at the time though), and carried Ben out of the gym, up the escalator, through the mall, set him down on a bench to grab my car, loaded him in, and took him home to go to the hospital (which later sent him home with an improper diagnosis).
The next morning, the hospital called him back in a panic after re-reviewing his X-rays and found the bound had a perfectly clean break. He went back to get a cast and for the next few months, we trained in his basement so he wouldnāt go stir crazy. The old days ā ļø

Prove me wrong: Pad work is always the most fun part about training. š
I gave up on Americanas YEARS ago because I struggled to set them up. This one tiny change made ALL the difference though! š¤©š„³
Does your Jiu Jitsu leave you vulnerable to getting punched, stabbed, or even hit with a headbutt? Do you consider those things when youāre training?
