My Jiu-Jitsu T-Shirt Collection

Posted on 30-April-201017-February-2022 by admin

My school, West Side Jiu-Jitsu, has a new logo.  As you can see hear it rocks.  Of course this means a new T-shirt.  I brought home my new T-shirt and my wife washed it.  This morning I was excited to wear it.  But I ran into one problem.  It went something like this:  “Mmmmm ….

The Book of Five Rings and Jiu-Jitsu

Posted on 28-April-20104-April-2022 by admin

I’ve started reading “The Book of Five Rings“ by Miyamoto Musashi.  Its subtitle is “A Classic Text on the Japanese Way of the Sword” but just like “The Art of War“, which has become so popular in business circles, it teaches concepts that can be used for more then just the Sword.  I think it…

Donate A Gi and Change a Life

Posted on 27-April-201018-February-2022 by admin

We all love Jiu-Jitsu.  We all know how it has changed our lives for the better.  Of course we want others to have that same chance.  That is why Mark, my instructor at West Side, has started a after school, free-of-charge, Jiu-Jitsu class for high school students.  Most of these students don’t have the cash…

North West Submission Challenge – West Side Rocks!

Posted on 26-April-20104-April-2022 by admin

I’ve been on a BJJ sabbatical the past week or so.  But now it is time to get with it.  Winter is over and its time to burn off some of that winter fat and get back into the swing of things.  I’ve started jump roping again.  I’m going back to my daily drill routine. …

The use of Steroids in BJJ Competitions

Posted on 16-April-201018-February-2022 by admin

Olympic athletes are tempted by steroids.  They have been caught taking them (Steroids in the Olympic Games).  I think that is the reason they have testing.  What about BJJ athletes?  I’m sure they aren’t any less susceptible.  So when I heard accusations that a lot of guys at the Pan Am looked like they used…

The 2010 Pan Am Sweep

Posted on 14-April-201015-February-2022 by admin

One of the techniques that was brought back from the 2010 Pan Am was a sweep.  I don’t have a name for it so I’m calling it the 2010 Pan Am Sweep. 2010 Pan Am Sweep Part 1 2010 Pan Am Sweep Part 2 Here it is demonstrated by Miles (who competed in the Pan…

2010 Pan Am Second Hand

Posted on 13-April-201021-February-2022 by admin

We had a student from West Side go to the 2010 Pan Am in the blue belt division.  I buy the “Best Fight” videos from Budovideos.com each year.  They are always educational.  But they aren’t the same as being there in person.  So it was nice to get to talk to someone who had gone…

Escape from Half Guard Escape from Side Control or Cross Body – Inner Arm Escape from Side Control or Cross Body – Outer Arm I got video of the beginner class last night.  Please excuse the shaky picture.  Its hard to hold my iPhone still after working out.  But at least this time I kept…

Patience Is a Jiu-Jitsu Virtue

Posted on 5-April-201017-February-2022 by admin

Fast food, same day deliver, view on demand, easy access, they are all part of our modern rushed society.  We don’t want to wait for anything.  We get angry if we have to wait in a line to long or if something holds us up.  I’m guilty of it.  I want it when I want…
