I was submitted today by one of my students.. What did I do?

At the end of class, while in front of everyone, I tossed him my Black Belt.

This is something I do to show people that everyone gets got and that it's not a big deal.

I absolutely love this picture of my in the background. I think it embodies what I strive for in my classes.

I never want to be the imposing presence, constantly directing. I much rather guide or nudge the group along.

#BJJ tip of the day: Don’t let information overwhelm you. Focus on learning the NEXT thing, not EVERY thing.

One of my favorite aspects of teaching is tweaking a student's existing technique and answering questions.

That light bulb moment is priceless.

"Don’t quit on your worst day."

While training Jiu-Jitsu, you’re going to have highs and quite a few lows. It’s really easy to let go of something when things are going horribly.

A bit more difficult after you’ve submitted your gym rival. lol.

Hang in there.

I am not a liberal snowflake. My feelings aren't fragile, my heart isn't bleeding. I'm a Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, Army Vet, and a believer in human rights.

My toughness is in my tenderness. My strength is in the service of others.

Things Black Belts say that sounds stupid but you'll end up saying once you reach Black Belt..

"Trust the process"
"It depends.."
"Just tape/brace it"
