Big thanks to everyone who came to the BBQ yesterday — great vibes, great people, and the weather held out long enough to keep the grill going.
T-shirts are still available — you can pick one up at the gym this week.
This Week's Classes
Fundamentals - Monday We will look at some stand up and guard passing to get us to a position where we can pin our partners.
Fundamentals - Wednesday & Friday – with Manny We’ll be focusing on top pins and learning how to transition between dominant positions without giving space.
Open Class – Wednesday & Friday
Stay on after fundamentals for:
Q&A
Drilling
Positional rounds
Casual rolls
No pressure to stay the whole time, but you’re always welcome to hang back, experiment, and ask for help.
BJJ Tip of the Week: Learn the Lingo!
Learn names, not just moves. If you can name it, you can talk about it, study it, ask questions about it and refine it. Treat each technique like a word in your vocabulary — the more you know, the better your Jiu Jitsu fluency.
Help us Grow!
If you haven't yet, please consider leaving us a review on Google. It really helps with the growth of the gym, allowing us to add more classes as we work towards securing a permanent home. Your support truly makes a difference.
I hope to have some exciting news to give you in the next newsletter for the next stage of the E17 BJJ expansion... as always, thank you all for your support, none of it is possible without you all.
See you on the mats today, or if not, next week!
