Who would be into a weekly/monthly video call to chat about their game and what struggles they’re dealing with? Perhaps early on a Saturday or Sunday?

I’m interested in how others approach strength and conditioning alongside grappling training. Do you follow a structured program, or do you just lift when it fits around your training schedule? A few questions: - How many days per week are you lifting? - What types of movements do you prioritize? - Have you found certain exercises that translate well to grappling? Curious to hear how others are structuring their training.

How’s everyone feeling about navigating the community? Feel free to post/comment accordingly under any post. Also, if you get a chance… go ahead and make an introduction post. What do you like? What do you feel like is missing? God bless!

I earned my blue belt in 2023 from Jerry VanZant at Valhalla AJJ. I currently train out of Shelbyville at Gracie Jiu Jitsu of Kentucky. I’m a firefighter and paramedic with far too many hobbies. My goal is longevity in the grappling arts.

Posting a round with one of my coaches and curious if anyone notices anything obvious in terms of positioning, decision-making, or missed opportunities. I’m mainly interested in bigger picture feedback. Things like: positioning, timing, or strategic mistakes rather than small details. If anything stands out to you while watching, feel free to point it out.
