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.
