bjj twitter is so much nicer than MMA twitter. the bjj community will show you nicely how to tie your belt, but the mma community will call me a wh0re if i just state that i like a certain fighter lol

who studies jiu-jitsu outside of the gym? like watching videos, taking notes, etc. if you do, do you find it helpful?

didn’t get the outcome i wanted, but considering this girl was giant, i fought hard & did my best. i was able to do a bjj tournament with PTSD from an abusive marriage. that in and of itself is a W 🤍

today was my student Bill’s last class🥺 he’s 77 and competed 3 months of jiu-jitsu that he won in a raffle. i couldn’t be more proud. he said his fav part of bjj was the support - so we all signed a card. we will miss you “Biller the Killer” 🤍

i started bjj bc i was assaulted in college by a trusted friend. i took back my power by training. jiu-jitsu has given me the confidence that i can fight through any situation 🤍
I didn't start Jiu-Jitsu because I wanted to.
I started because I needed a new mental challenge.
👉 Why did you start training?
Retweet to share with your followers.
And if you quote tweet, I’ll be able to share with my followers.
I'd like to learn where we were in life.

i told my professor that tournaments stress me out - so he does a mock tournament for class 🤷🏽♀️ lol i was very panicked during this, but i felt better about myself at the end. this is a perfect example of how your coach/team is supposed to support you and push you to be better

Whenever i teach this collar drag (+ ankle pick occasionally), the first thing i hear is “i don’t think i can throw anyone bigger than me.” Well with the right technique, you can 👍🏽 (this is just a demo, but as always critique is welcome) 🤍
