Different work schedules, injuries, kids wanting to go get free candy…it all made for light mats last night, but from VA to CA, we still got our training in.

SoCal and VA Check

Matthias arrives back home tomorrow as we gear up for an epic week of training with visitors of every belt level converging on the temple for Friday night’s Circle of Honor.

Hope you all had a terrific night on or off the mats.

I’ll be sure to post lots of videos this weekend so you guys can see what we’re up to.

Incredible day and night on the mats-ended with a great Circle of Honor ⭕️

Thank you to all our visitors who made the trip.

Great morning on the mats.

Our Wednesday am group had a beginner today.

What was the first technique/submission you ever learned?

Mine was the standard butterfly sweep with an over/under (so we drilled that today)

I still use this sweep every single day.

My first submission was a triangle choke.

While I got away from using these the past year or so, I’ve been finding my way back to them this last month.

Matthias got 3 hours in on the road at Empire Jiu-Jitsu in San Francisco.

Empire is a Kurt Osiander school - and home to world champion Jake Scovel.

Jake recently won Worlds with a 5-0 record and zero points OR advantages being scored on him.

Truly impressive!

The transfer of knowledge and technique happens during AND after your training.

Good vibe on the mats.

Lots of hoodies under the gis as temps are in the teens and low twenties for morning class now.

It can be hard to get out of bed when it’s dark and cold outside…but you do it, because what does the alternative offer you?

A sense of accomplishment, better health both of mind and body, being harder to kill…traded away for a few moments of comfort.

That’s not a good bargain.

Stop ripping yourself off.

Takedown, pass, kimura.

On to the next…

Insane decision loss. Two worlds in a row now, where Matthias was clearly the winner.

With that said:

Join us in congratulating Matthias Waggener on the first ever WORLDS medal for Devotion Jiu-Jitsu!!!
