Whew!!

I apologize for being rather lethargic for the last few days. I have been hitting the weights and trying to get back into shape. I have been successful in my first week back to the workouts, but it has worn me out. I am hoping that next week will be better as I will have adjusted to the new workout schedule. I have also been teaching the Winston After School martial arts class (about 35 kids). Exhausting!!

Updates

Let me first start off by saying that I am not very pleased with the new IJF rules.

Next, the dojo will be closed on Labor Day September 7th.

The dojo will be open, but I will be gone on September 9th, 10th, and 11th. Olga will be watching over the dojo and classes.

Douglas County Fair

Dynamic MMA will have a booth at the Douglas County Fair from August 3rd through the 8th. While at the Fair, we will be offering invitations for FREE workshops we will be hosting for school age kids on August 15th and 22nd. The topic of the workshop is "Black Belt Focus for Better Grades".

Be sure to come by and send your friends to our booth. In addition, we will be handing out information about our programs along with special offers.

At some point we plan to perform demonstrations and have video on display. Items like DFCC, Dynamic Submission Grappling Championship, and Dynamic MMA T-shirts will be for sale at the booth as well.

Classes will be operating on the regular schedule while Dynamic MMA is at the Fair.

2009 MA Supershow

The 2009 Martial Arts Supershow was great. We got to interact with many martial arts legends such as Ernie Reyes Sr., Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Jimmy Pedro, and more. The seminars were very educational. Tony Robbins did a seminar that was inspirational. He is a super high energy guy.

practice makes perfect?

Practice does not make perfect. "Perfect practice" makes perfect. Muscle memory is developed through repetition. If you continuously practice a technique in a sloppy or incorrect manner, you will develop your muscle memory in such a manner. That is why it is so important to practice under the supervision of a qualified instructor. The instructor can see the poor technique and help you correct it before it becomes bad habit. Train smart...See you at the dojo.

Dynamic MMA will be closed on July 6th, 7th, and 8th.

I will be attending the Martial Arts Supershow this weekend in Las Vegas. At the event I intend to continue educating myself on the business end of running a quality dojo. I also intend to introduce Hadaka Judo to some other martial arts enthusiasts.

I will try to post blogs while there at the show.

This is a video clip from our dojo. It shows how to go from bottom side mount to juji-gatame by using the ude-garami and also how to counter the sit-up ude-garami with juji-gatame. Enjoy.
