Training Partners: Good vs Bad
A Gracie Barra facility is not a slugfest arena or school yard. You’re in a professional training environment. You’re not trying to win; you’re striving to learn. The goal is not to compete with each other but to complement each other’s development. Proceed at a pace that is slow enough to ensure excellent form and everyone’s safety. Speed comes from repetition so you don’t have to artificially force it. Go too fast and you risk sacrificing proper execution which just means you develop bad habits really quickly.

Technique Tuesday
The combat principles GB teaches, through interactive classes, structured curriculum, team cooperation, student-to-professor/coach relationships, and individual support, provides you with the efficient and effective Jiu Jitsu skills and techniques necessary to defend yourself during a fight. At the same time, you will also learn to apply those same values and principles to your daily life responsibilities and “battles.” Simply put, GB Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will change your life and put you in control of your life in ways you never dreamed possible.
Every Tuesday we will chose a new BJJ position and elaborate on it.
