Hey everyone, Thank you so much for being a part of this community. I am honored by your engagement and support. I started this group so that I could share what I’ve learned with people who don't have the proximity to the source that I’ve been so fortunate to have. I am truly blessed to be guided by Master Rickson on a daily basis. I trust that you have gotten something out of this trial period. I want everyone to have a place where they can feel supported by their peers and find the guidance they’re looking for. Many of you have asked for clear training paths, structure, and access to me so I am building it. More details to come.

Be honest. This is a safe space. Select the option that matches your jiu-jitsu powers. This helps me tailor training discussions, drills, and self-defense concepts to the group. Vote so I know who I’m dealing with in here 😄 💬 Drop a comment: • How long you’ve trained • Sport vs self-defense (or both) • Or the belt you feel like on your best/worst day 😏

I just stumbled across this. I like it, so I'm sharing it. You'll probably recognize someone in the video ;-) https://youtube.com/shorts/NZ4J0WfiXAM?si=XkYRvFRvmmTU01sI

Find yourself mounted. Don’t make it obvious that you want to work from the mount. Just let your guard down a little. Then explore that position without any great need to get out. But don’t lay there and be passive either. Feel your way around and try to move in many different ways and analyze the problems that stop you. Be curious and scientific, try lots of stuff, don’t use strength or speed, stay relaxed. Do this with someone who isn’t a meathead at first. But ultimately do it on the meathead too. When the time comes that you need more challenge.

How many hours a week are you training? Could be martial arts, exercise, breath work, etc. Tell us in the comments about your training schedule.
