- A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 4 : Clash of the TitansSaturday at the Mundials was the real beginning of the “Clash of the [BJJ] titans.” The junior blue-belts divisions, the purple-belt male and female open divisions, as well as the brown belts and the lighter-weight black belts (my favorite divisions of course) were on the docket. The bullpen, the stands, and the surrounding areas were flooded with BJJ royalt […]
- A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 3 : Once the Dust SettledLater in the day we came up with a plan whereby each fighter from Crazy 88 preparing for a fight would be assigned an assistant who had fought the day before, to make sure they had everything they needed.

- STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery Review-Jon Delbrugge- In today’s mainstream MMA we have an oversaturation of the blood splattering, lightning bolt, tribal tattoo designed logo appeal to it. I like how Strikeforce is trying something different they are going for the complete opposite. Saturday night’s Heavy Artillery card had different audiences, different fighters, different TV deals. The produc […]

- Running a Large Martial Arts School vs. a Small OneI’ve had the opportunity to be a student at “small” academies that grew into big ones and also have had the good fortune of watching my own Howard County Martial Arts academy develop into a “big” school as well. One thing that I’ve noticed is how different it is to run a successful big program vs. . . . → Read More: Running a Large Martial Arts School vs. a […]
Packed to the max, we had a great jiu-jitsu class this morning!! Not to mention we had 3 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belts training, Mike Fowler, Nakapan Phungephorn, and JT Torres. We also had bjj brown belts Cory Robinson and Jim Harbison training hard! It’s great to have so many people training on the mats! The next jiu-jitsu training session was at 4:30 which was drilling and then of course the evening class.
In the morning advanced BJJ class we started off with the guard passing game. Then Master Lloyd had us start from closed guard and do live matches, getting our minds ready for competition. The guys drilled sweeps today for an hour today and the evening class was hard! We had 4 groups, each group with the same weight/skill level pushing hard, and doing foot sweeps, just completely trying to ware your opponent out.
Also, a friendly reminder for students at any Mixed Martial Arts gym, cleanliness is very important. Make sure that all of your MMA equipment is kept clean and aired out. As for gis, make sure to wash them, hang dry, or put in the dryer. When at the gym, always wear shoes to the bathroom, wash your hands. Stepping on the mat with dirty feet is very unsanitary. If you have an open cut, put a band aide on it, and make sure to clean it before and after you train to prevent any infections.
Here is a video put together from BJJ advanced class.
