A Woman's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blog. Tag Archives: brazilian jiu-jitsu. How does your garden grow? There was a new visitor to my garden this week, a Gracie Barra blue belt from California, who was my drilling partner on Wednesday. I don’t believe I’m a good ambassador for Lincoln BJJ, because I’m shy (so I’m not very chatty), but he didn’t seem to mind, and I felt comfortable with him right away. He definitely has skills (I even saw him submit Havoc! And full of spiders and other scary things! This slides...

Josh's Jiu-Jitsu Journal: December 2014
http://joshjiujitsujournal.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. December 28th 2014 - Weekly Review. Focus of the Week:. Half Guard Sweeps, Triangle and Deep Half Hunting. Standing RNC Defense - O-Soto Gari, Back Mount Escape, RNC from Back Mount. Smallest class that I've seen in a while for a Tuesday noon and it seemed to go by in a blur. Maybe with fewer people Greg can keep a better eye on when we've had enough reps. I used to do this while watching TV or hanging out at home and it helped my RNC quite a bit I think. Focus of the Week:.

Monday, November 24, 2014. November 23rd 2014 - Weekly Review. Focus of the Week:. Deep Half Waiter Sweep, Tinguinha's Baseball Bat Choke setup, Over/Under Pass. O-Soto Gari, Side Control Escape, Paint Brush. I felt better about the side control escape after drilling it this week. Greg mentioning that we bridge to bring their elbow off the floor to make the hip escape possible really sunk in this time as the main purpose. Greg also added hooking the ankle during the escape to help prevent the sma...Durin...

A Woman's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blog. In my experience, training Jiu-Jitsu is kind of like looking into a mirror that shows you an unfiltered view of your entire self. You can’t. BJJ, it breaks down your walls and exposes your weaknesses, which I believe is one of the reasons that some people don’t last, because they don’t want to keep facing their inadequacies and issues, but that’s really the only way to fix them. 8220;…Just like moons and like suns,.

A Woman's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blog. Oh, what fresh hell is this? Go big or go home! Buy the ticket, take the ride. My journey has been terrifying at times (especially on Throwing Sundays like yesterday! But I don’t think I’d have it any other way, or else there’s a good chance I might just lose interest, because one of my favorite things about BJJ is that it’s never. I’ve also been able to become more open and vulnerable. Of the mat (of which this blog is the most obvious example). By Gina Ethridge .

A Woman's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blog. I’m Tore Down. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I usually think about is Jiu-Jitsu, because all the nagging aches and pains are always there to remind me. My husband thinks I’m going to end up a crippled old lady because of it (but he’s still supportive! And the way I feel right now, I’m not sure that he’s entirely wrong. It’s not issues like muscle soreness that concern me (I actually kind of. It felt like he was. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).
