#dojo kyle

We've been working x-guard for the past two weeks. I like that Ryan has students stick with a position for a while because it allows us to get a lot of reps and develop the muscle memory needed to use these techniques under pressure.  If you have to think about it, it's too late. Your body has to just know what to do and the only way to develop that is repetition!  What position do you need to rep? -will

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I thought this would be a good day to post up one of my favorite pictures! I took this when we got the keys to the first official location of Dojo Kyle. I keep it as the wallpaper on my phone and look at it everyday.  It reminds me of how far the school has come and all the good memories I've had over the past 2 years at the dojo- the friends I've made, great training partners I've had and have, the fun of teaching the kids class, showing up early to lift weights, hanging out late after class and shooting the breeze… I love it all! I feel very blessed to get to do something I enjoy and be around people I enjoy EVERYDAY! I was talking with Ryan and he feels the same way.  Thanksgiving seems like an appropriate time to say THANK YOU to everyone associated with the dojo- Current and former members, parents, understanding wives who let their husbands come train, our families for supporting us, and other businesses in the community that help spread jiu-jitsu like Pizza Classics Kyle and Kyle Life. I hope you all have an awesome holiday! Stay safe, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you on the mats soon, -will
