This is a little snapshot from a video taken during a private lesson a while back, where we were going over the syllabus armbars. I’m currently editing some footage I took for you guys of some solo drills to do at home - I admit I’m not 100% happy with the footage, but I may still put it up in the private group anyway, as you may still find it helpful. I miss training I must admit, but there’s plenty to enjoy and keep me busy - Spending time with the family, Gardening, catching up on house work, restoring my old guitar, reading some new books.... there’s plenty of positives to find in every situation. Stay safe and healthy everyone - Jesse
In Jiu jitsu we constantly talk about “control what you can control, move what you can move - don’t focus on what you can’t move, or can’t control”. The same can be said in life. Right now we are told to stay away from others, and stay at home if we can. The outside world is a little crazy right now, with some (not all) people acting like idiots. So, what can we control? How can we create positive change in the world? Easy - Start at home!! I Just built a few more garden beds from recycled timber, and will be growing loads more of our own produce (already have a few garden beds, this will allow us to grow more and rotate garden beds more). There’s loads you can do to make positive changes in your own environment - and there’s a flow on effect from that - “From little things, big things grow”.
Hi guys, this week we will be focused on mostly solo drills, or techniques where body to body contact is limited (in both the adults and bear cubs classes). With school holidays coming up (where we will have a short break from classes), working on solo drills will be a great opportunity to learn some techniques that we can do at home on our own.
Also - we will not have any rolling/live sparring this week, so classes may be slightly shorter than normal. I apologise if this is an issue for some of you (as I know that rolling is often the most fun part of class), but I think we can all agree that given the current circumstances, it’s the logical thing to do to. Any questions, please let me know🤙🏻👌🏻

Hi guys - with regards to what’s happening currently with COVID -19 (Corona virus), I felt it prudent to put up a post in regards to our response as a club.
.
There’s a lot up in the air, with a lot of unknowns, but please rest assured that we are doing everything we can as a club to prevent spread. My number one concern is for the well-being and best outcomes of my students.
.
In terms of measures we can - and are already taking - as both individuals, and as a club -
.
✅We disinfect the mats after every class.
.
✅our mats also get deep cleaned/scrubbed with a professional cleaning machine weekly.
.
✅make use of hand sanitizer stations and wash our hands regularly.
.
✅make sure our personal hygiene is well maintained - wash/shower before and after every class.
.
✅if you have been overseas, please do not come back to class for 2 weeks to prevent potential spread.
.
✅if you have been in contact with anyone who has been sick, or have symptoms yourself - do not come to class.
.
✅if you show signs of being unwell, you will be asked to leave - NO EXCEPTIONS.
.
The public school system seems very likely to have enforced closures for a period of time, as well as certain clubs, and gyms etc. If this happens we may have no choice but to do the same, and follow government guidelines/recommendations in response to this.
.
Remember - If/when this happens it will be TEMPORARY and only for a short period of time - with school holidays coming up we could consider it like having an extended holiday break (realistically perhaps 3 to 6 classes missed for most people).
.
If there are classes missed then we will look at making up those classes in other ways, so we don’t miss out in the long term (I.e. adding a few extra nights in the weeks we return, attempting to bring in guest instructors where possible, etc.
.
For now though, it’s business as usual. There are no plans to cancel classes, unless we are advised by experts to do so.
.
We ask for your patience and support during this period - we are stronger as individuals, when we stay strong together. We will come through this stronger than ever, with our club and awesome community in tact.
.
Thanks everyone - Jesse 🤙🏻
