C-Money and Jase scrappin’. They had some absolutely insane rolls then I bust the camera out and they act like they are tired after 20 minutes of rolling for some reason💁🏻‍♂️. All of the kids are progressing at rapid rates in their own ways. Hendrix answers every question about technique correctly, C-Money and Jase try to kill each other, Alexis and Reed get tougher every day, Rocket doesn’t have to get corrected more than once very often, etc. I could go on to say something about all my kids. But one thing is for sure, kids learn fast, coach them like adults and make the standard the standard with zero exceptions. If your kids are sitting on the couch this summer they’ll be miles behind our kids athletically.

Some schedule updates for the week. Hive Mind is one of the sponsors for our Annual Texas Water Safari race. It starts at the headwaters of the San Marcos River and ends 265 miles later in the little town of Seadrift on the coast. I attached a fun Video that Yeti put together years ago that explains the race well. We will have Michael Ottinger, a very high level black belt covering kids and adult classes on Thursday and my good friend and John Esparza, who’s involved heavily here in our local church scene, covering Mondays classes. The only class that will be canceled is Thursdays 4pm tots class so be sure to make it to the tots classes tomorrow and Wednesday so I can cram the rest of this weeks curriculum in to make up for Thursday. Enjoy the video and be on the look out for the link to follow us during the race live!

Studying film and exchanging ideas with other teammates and athletes is crucial in every sport, especially in BJJ where there is seemingly endless details to learn. Michael is my main training partner here at home and he has a wealth of knowledge. We covered a lot of passing yesterday after some tough rounds so I will share them for everyone, especially advanced grapplers to watch. This first video here is your standard body lock passing but is knee shifting details and leg riding is really top tier, must know information.
