Well Rounded

​I have a goal for all of my students, that they are well rounded. That they can execute their grappling in whatever position they find themselves in. Oftentimes in the course of being a gym owner, I have found that when people come to me from other places, they are often deficient in areas that I remember being covered extensively when I was a white belt. It happens regularly that colored belts walk in the door and are not able to execute an arm bar from guard on a willing partner much less someone who is resisting. I come from a state where the level of Jiu Jitsu is really high and maybe that factors into my expectations, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hold someone to the standard of 20 years ago when our intent is to move Jiu Jitsu forward. If you run a school please do better. If you train with me, if you didn’t know the expectation before, now you know.
