🔥 Today’s smooth combo in training: starting with a double leg, seamless transition to Tani Otoshi, back to the double leg, and finishing with Kata Guruma! 💥
Mastering these connections and transitions is what separates good from great in Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. On our mats, we don’t just drill isolated techniques—we work real attack chains, just like in a live roll or match. The more you understand Judo within Jiu-Jitsu, the more options you have, the more unpredictable you become, and the more complete you are as a grappler.
Everyone is welcome!
Whether you’re a complete beginner starting from zero or an advanced practitioner looking to sharpen your stand-up game and takedowns, there’s a spot for you.
🕡 Classes Monday through Friday at 6:30 PM

Come train with us! Oss! 🤙

turtle escapes that are completely changing my game!
In today’s video, I’m showing two super effective escapes when your opponent already has the infamous “seatbelt” locked in from the top of turtle. I get out from underneath, take the back, and secure full control.
Works great in both gi and no-gi—these little details make all the difference when things get tough! 💪
Want to learn this and a ton more on the mat?
📢 Jiu-Jitsu classes every day, Monday through Friday, at 6:30 PM!
Beginners and advanced students are all super welcome. We train together, at your own pace, with plenty of individual attention.
Come train with us, level up your guard, your escapes, and your confidence on the mat!
See you at 6:30 PM! 🥋🔥

🔥 TODAY IS DEEP HALF GUARD DAY! 🔥
I’m teaching that sneaky deep half sweep that nobody sees coming… one second you’re chilling, next second you’re on your back wondering what just happened 😏
Monday through Friday at 6:30 PM — class is open to EVERYONE:
• Brand new? I’ll walk you through it step by step.
• Been rolling for years? Plenty of details and high-level tweaks for you too.
Ready to build a deep half that nobody can pass AND that sweeps anyone?

Yo, what’s up crew! 🔥
Passing guard in Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just a technique… it’s the moment that flips the whole game! That’s when you turn defense into attack, fear into control, and prove that size and strength don’t run the show — smarts and technique do. Every black belt got smashed in guard once upon a time, but it was learning to pass that turned them into a beast on the mat.
So come train this art with us!
Classes EVERY weekday (Monday–Friday) at 6:30 PM.
Beginner? We’ll teach you from scratch.Experienced? Come sharpen your game even more.

💥 Annihilate the De La Riva Guard! (And Come Train With Us!)
The De La Riva Guard (DRL) is famous, but every guard has a pass. Are you tired of getting swept? Do you want to master the art of breaking your opponent's control?
The key is understanding the hook and the pant grip!
🔥 Quick Tips for Passing the DLR:
1. Attack the Hook: Neutralize or remove the inner hook. Without it, the DLR loses 80% of its power.
2. Control the Knee: Keep your knee pointed toward the floor (or control it firmly) to prevent lateral sweeps.
3. Use Pressure: Passes like the "Leg Drag" or the "Knee Slice" are excellent for applying pressure and limiting the guard player's options.
Learn these and many other techniques on our mats!
We are waiting for you to evolve together!
📍 Location: [Your Address/Academy - Feel free to include this!]
🗓️ Jiu-Jitsu Training: Monday to Friday
⏰ Time: 6:30 PM
🥋 Level: Beginners and Advanced are VERY welcome!
No more excuses, come train! Tag a friend who needs this tip and come be part of our team! 👇

Hey Jiu-Jitsu crew! 🥋💙
This week we’re going ALL IN on DE LA RIVA GUARD PASSING – one of the most annoying (and most used) guards in today’s game. We’re gonna break down the grips, the highest-percentage passes, and the counters so you never get stuck when someone throws up De La Riva on you.
Inviting EVERYONE:
✅ Total beginners (we’ll teach it from scratch, super simple)
✅ Blue belts, purple, brown, and black belts (time to sharpen those competition details)
Training Monday through Friday, always at 6:30 PM. Just show up with your gi and let’s roll!
Any questions (schedule, drop-in fee, first class free, whatever) just shoot me a DM and I’ll get back to you right away.
Oss! 🤙
See you on the mats! 🔥

🔵 OSS!
In Jiu-Jitsu, the real magic isn’t knowing 300 fancy submissions…
It’s about MASTERING a few SIMPLE and DEADLY techniques that work EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Think about it:
• The guy who drills a “basic” triangle to perfection taps out black belts.
• Someone who owns their hip control and hits clean, textbook guard passes runs through everybody.
• One perfect sweep + tight side control can win entire rolls.
The more you repeat and refine these fundamentals, the more dangerous you become – no matter what belt you’re wearing.
That’s why I’m inviting you to come train with us:
Monday through Friday at 6:30 PM sharp.
We have room for total beginners AND advanced players (white to black belt – everyone’s welcome).
Want to change your life, learn real self-defense, get in killer shape, or step on the competition mat one day? It all starts right here.
Any questions? Just shoot me a DM and I’ll answer everything! 💬
See you on the mats!

Every single day is a chance to level up.
Every day is a chance to leave fear in the locker room and ego on the mat.

Monday through Friday at 6:30 AM sharp—the mats are ready and I’m waiting for YOU to come build the strongest, most confident version of yourself.
• Want to get stronger?
• Want to walk taller and feel unbreakable?
• Want to learn how to protect yourself and make lifelong friends along the way?
Then let’s go!
No experience needed. No need to be in shape yet… you just need the desire to start.
Come train with me!
Monday–Friday • 6:30 AM • Be on time

"This Thanksgiving, we celebrate more than just a holiday. We celebrate gratitude. And for us at MEJ BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU SCHOOL, that gratitude extends to the mats, to our Jiu-Jitsu family, and to every moment of learning and overcoming challenges.
We are thankful for the rolls that challenge us, for the instructors who guide us, for the training partners who push us, and for the friendships that become unbreakable bonds. Every fall, every submission, every lesson makes us stronger—not just in body, but in mind and spirit.
May this day be a reminder of the value of our community, mutual respect, and the journey we share. The entire MEJ BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU SCHOOL family wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
OSS! 🙏🥋🦃

Good evening, everyone! 🌙💙
If you’ve ever woken up with a tight chest, racing thoughts, and that feeling like the world is just too heavy… I get it. Anxiety, depression, and insomnia aren’t weakness; they’re real battles. And one of the best ways I’ve found to fight them is by actually fighting—on the mat.
Jiu-Jitsu has saved my life more times than I can count. It’s not just a sport; it’s full-body therapy. When you’re rolling, there’s no room for negative thoughts. There’s only the next move, the next breath, the next hug after the tap. Your body gets tired, your mind quiets down, and sleep finally comes.
The best part? Nobody here judges where you’re coming from or how you’re feeling. Just show up.
✨ Total beginner who’s never stepped on a mat? You’re welcome.
✨ Advanced athlete looking to level up? There’s space for you.
✨ Kid full of energy? Let’s channel it the right way.
✨ Adult ready to start over? The door is wide open.
Training EVERY DAY at 6:30 PM.
Bring shorts, we’ll lend you a gi; all you need to bring is the desire to change your life.
If that little voice says “I don’t know if I can do this” or you feel shy, just shoot me a DM. I’ll answer with zero judgment.
The mat heals.
Come find out with us.
