Making the way back.
After some much needed time away from the sport over the past few months to prioritize family, and the youth in my local community coaching, I’ve decided to bring DG back September 1.
I will be the first to admit that I had really put so much of what matter on the back burner for the sport that it had become far too much of my life, taking away vital experiences from my family and purposeful work in the process, all the results of my inability to balance my passion for jiu-jitsu and life outside of it.
No other solution than to simply step away for a few months to get back to prioritizing my life, and coming back now at a place mentally to have a better balance with it all.
I appreciate all of you understanding during this time, as I vulnerably worked through it all during the past few months.
🚨To get things back going, I am going to be sponsoring five competitive BJJ athletes, free of charge to get the Team back rolling.
A few conditions to be a sponsored team, DG Athlete moving forward :
✅ weekly communication through the app regarding your BJJ practice and S&C feedback
✅ Share one video weekly to your Instagram page regarding your DG training.
✅ comp: willing to train 2 to 4 days weekly minimum in the gym and follow through with recovery prescription
This opportunity will be only available to those who are serious with their aspirations in competition moving forward! DM me and we will get started! Thank you!

It has been a pleasure❤️
4 years ago, I never would have imagined that Durable Grappler would have ascended to the community that it has, and the impact made for so many incredible people in the grappling community ❤️
Despite this transformative experience, life has made other plans and I can no longer sustain carrying the torch of Durable Grappler at this time.
I have come to see that the most profound experiences and, connections and service that I can perform for others can no longer happen in an Online setting.
Transparently, I have found it extremely challenging to feel that I am remotely impactful and lead in the way that I can as a Professional in the field through online interaction only.
The presence I have physically in the gym of my business coaching Youth athletes has brought so much joy in my life, that I have been doubling down on maximizing my ability to lead the future of these children into tremendous leaders in and out of sport.
Seeing how transformative the past year has been for the Youth that I serve in person, I lost connection with being an online presence in any capacity. It was heartbreaking.
🚨To the community, DG will continue to provide *free* programming until September, and all contact should be provided through the Teambuildr Direct Messaging function to get into contact with me moving forward!
🚨I will NOT be shutting down this page, I will rather leave it for you all to continue to look past and learn from past content!
❤️ I thank you all for your support, encouragement and love over the years for the DG community! My life transformed when DG started, and perhaps it will make a way back in the future, but for now, creating space will be the best way to learn what the future will hold!

BJJ Burnout! Your First 7 Days
As you begin to accumulate fatigue, there will be a few experiences that may present themselves to you in your BJJ training that may begin to suffer!

Prepare in advance with an awareness of these simple early signs of overreaching, and begin to make slight adjustments to your BJJ training so that you can improve your recovery while staying ON the mats and IN the gym to keep you progressing!

All it takes a few adjustments and guidance to make agile decisions in your schedule to keep making progress and reduce accumulated fatigue without disrupting Mat or gym frequency.

The leading indicators from a technical perspective will arrive fast in BJJ, and when you have this awareness, you’ll be able to identify the onset of accumulating fatigue and potential overreaching earlier so that you can make informed decisions FASTER that will benefit your longevity and resilience on- and off- the mats!

Work works!
Congratulations for accomplishing #1 Overall Ranking in NB this week!
Tanner is among the most committed and dialed in Youth athletes I’ve had the honour and privilege to support as a Performance Coach.
Seldom do you see the level of consistency, excellence and persistence across the board in someone so young! Tanner is truly making the absolute most of his resources and time to see just how far he can go in his commitments.
Your grit, consistency and commitment are inspiring!

It’s an *infinite* game.

May your paths be guided by purpose greater than yourself this New Year❤️
I can’t wait to support you in working towards all of the goals that you have set for yourself in 2025, but I want you to know that who you’re going to become as you navigate and overcome the hardships and adversity that will inevitably come your way in the process will be far more meaningful ❤️
You’re going to get busy, you’re going to get distracted, you’re going to question whether you can make these goals happen. You’re going to be stretched thin; you’re going to be overwhelmed; you’re going to feel lost. There are no surprises.
This is what I hope and desire to be here for you for above anything; if I can lead, guide and mentor you through this so that you can achieve the success you’re aiming for, I am fulfilled for you ❤️
I want you to thrive this year and know that with DG you can be certain that you’re going to be supported, coached and learn to fail forward to become a better version of yourself, and be a more meaningful and productive leader in service to others.
It is far more of a blessing to give than receive; when you receive the gifts of perseverence, you can give clarity and purpose to yourself and others as a result.
Happy New Year❤️
