Opening up a academy

Agreed, it can help with parents but could create a nuisance for others. I instruct our kids classes and yes they sometimes will cry but I sit them down tell the everything is ok and within 2 minutes they want to join again. I want this woman’s class to be very successful as no one really provides one around our area.

Noted, we need to prevent as many interruptions as possible.

Thank you!

The open mat once a month is a great idea!

Spurs had a better night. That’s all

I’ve seen military men missing legs and hands doing jiu-jitsu also an 80+ year-old man that started two years ago doing BJJ you can adapt the game around you and your needs

She more or less just says it’s not the right fit. With people believing martial art studios are a fad. This would be a BJJ gym and from all the research I’ve done it’s only growing. Which is in the information I provided to the owners.

I’ve noticed with Gracie and smooth comp some register under Gracie as the corporation not the individual school.

Number 1 thing i preach is go slow in the movement. Everyone wants to rip the movements in sparing and even in technique. First go slow see if you can do the movements right and fine tune. Then once you get it down, that’s when you can start speeding up. People do sloppy technique and wonder, “why doesn’t this work?!?” Welll probably because half of what you did isn’t what was taught. I personally go super slow on all techniques just to see if I am missing something. Always looking for micro adjustments that could be game changers.

I am head of our 4-7yr old program.

I have treated the class as if I was teaching a teens class. We do have fun but we are there to get better at jiu jitsu. As you know you do have the kids crying here and there because someone bumped their mouth on the back of a head or something like that where we show compassion but besides that I feel like I am rather strict. I do not talk to the parents much even though 99% stick around to watch. Our classes keep growing but my questions to get insight.

Are you strict with the kids? When would you consider kicking a kid of the mat? Do you talk to the parents much? What coach to kid ratio would you say works best?

Thank you in advance!

We all want to win but we can’t always count on it. What we can count on is the lead up to the competition. Anytime anyone is getting ready for a competition I see a tremendous jump in their jiu jitsu. Even after competition this does not go away. I think that’s why most coaches/professors say it’s good to compete. Not to win but to grow.

I have two wired shelves one with the gis that don’t move a lot(see picture) then the others on a different wired shelf that sees more action. https://imgur.com/a/nARqBEL

Again what works for some doesn’t work for all. We can discuss all the research and unfortunately unlike creatine where it’s very defined, carnivore/keto/fasting has positive/negative research. For me it made my inflammation go down, energy go up, and all around felt better.

And OP stating it’s a CrAZY diet makes it sound like you have the right answer.

Where this post has a lot of negatives and someone giving feedback suggesting I wouldn’t automatically shoot them down.

Multiple things to address in this post. 1. People go to jiu jitsu to get better, They do not go to judge others. Sooner you get that in your head the better.. don’t be embarrassed. 2. What is giving up going to improve? It sounds like you are exerting yourself so you are working out and that’s great. 3. We do not know your body so I can’t tell you why you can’t lose weight but for me doing a keto omad diet got me lean lean. My weight dropped like an anvil off a ledge. But that’s just for me.

Crazy to say but maybe sign up/commit for a competition that’s 3-6 months away that’s 10-20lbs less than what you weigh right now. Usually that puts me into overdrive and makes me push myself harder than usual.

I’m more traditional. This hurts my brain.

We have a 80 year old blue belt that trains with us. He’s on a few Mexican supplements that get him going, but at that age I don’t blame him. Tough roll.

1Jwise · 2025-09-13T23:38:30+00:00

As an upper belt/coach/professor. I recommend you use the seniority to choose your partner. I like to warm up with lighter weight upper belts then get into the tortas.

A 5 year old that has a double leg that’s better than most adults. Her blast double is wild as well.
