I wasn't at sparring class last week, so no video. I WAS at an awesome seminar @coachburger9384 ran called Jiujitsu Houdini with some of my students. So please enjoy this picture we took at our next class when they asked me "are their any escapes from 'double guard?'"

I got to be a dummy for @coachburger9384 teaching his version of Bruce Lee's Ng Moon form. Lots of cool trapping stuff! You should follow Jeff if you don't already.

No sparring video this week. My Grammy passed away, and her celebration of life service was during our sparring class. Instead, enjoy this picture of me with my grandparents.
My Grammy lived a life of servant leadership, fostered 60+ kids in addition to raising 4 of her own, and worked nights as a nurse. She was also the wife of a pastor. She definitely has a hand in my personality and love of teaching. She was a cancer survivor. She was kind and genuinely interested in hearing how you were no matter what else was going on.
She was an incredible lady.

Here's the 5th black belt that I've promoted "independently." (The quotation marks are because I owe so much to so many extraordinary teachers and friends.)
Really proud of this guy. And we even had one of our students video call in from Cape Town. Cross-continental call in to a black belt test is a first for me.
Special thanks to the board members, especially Master Chuilli.
Extra special thanks to Sensei Quimby for letting us use his gorgeous dojo!
If you've followed me for any length of time, you've been with this guy on his journey. Thank you, too!

Questions...?
Anything you'd like to know about me, why I do what I do, or how?
Specifically martial arts related, but we can open it up. I may dodge anything I deem to be too creepy.

Hello Everyone!
Just a quick and overdue note to say thanks for 4000+. As a friend said recently "I don't even know 4000 people!"
You are clearly people of great taste. 😉
Here's to 2025 with all of you!

3000! 😊🥋🔥
I've been on the edge of my seat. Thank you all.
In September of 2023, 2000. Four months later, 3000.
It's still hard to believe this many people care enough about what I do to follow in some fashion.
You all have an eye for quality! You all are awesome.
Many thanks!!!

Feels like just last week I was thanking the first thousand. Thank you all for your trust and for putting up with me in your feed! 2K! You are the vanguard.
One of my students asked if I had a celebration video planned. I don't. Any ideas?
