🥋 Summer BJJ Intensive #2 – Open Guard Intensive 🥋

Ready to take your Jiu-Jitsu to the next level? This summer, we’re diving deep into one of the most important positions in modern BJJ: Butterfly Guard. 🔥

Over three days, students will learn how to use Butterfly Guard to:
✅ Sweep opponents
✅ Wrestle up to dominant positions
✅ Attack submissions
✅ Improve timing, balance, and decision making

For our teen athletes, we’ll go even further with an introduction to:
⚡ Single Leg X Guard
⚡ X Guard
⚡ Reverse X Guard

This intensive is designed to help students build a more dangerous and complete open guard game while developing the reactions and confidence needed to use it in live training.

📅 June 29th, 30th & July 2nd
👦 Kids (7-11): 10:00am–Noon
🧑 Teens (12+): 1:00pm–3:00pm
💵 Cost: $100

Whether you’re new to Butterfly Guard or looking to sharpen your existing game, this intensive will give you a ton of material to take back to your regular training.

Spots are limited. Reserve yours today! 👊🔥

At camp last week, we took some time to teach the kids berimbolos for fun! Almost every kid was able to figure it out.

Definitely stole this method of teaching the bolo from …. With a little modification to help the kids.

Worked super well!

Quite the day for Duncan MMA. The morning started off strong with one of our youth competitors, Max, getting 1st 🥇 place in his bracket at the local Stryker Martial Arts jiujitsu tournament.

We also took 4 athletes up to for a 16 Man Blue Belt Absolute bracket.

3 of our guys made it to semi-finals, with one of them getting to finals. Although he lost by 2 points and didn’t get the belt, Paul did bring home the chain award for fastest submission!

It was a great event and I’m very proud of the athletes that stepped in the cage. That fought hard and represented the team well!

If you’re looking to get started in BJJ, give us a call. We have a place for beginners and advanced students, competitors and hobbyists.

Join the team and see the difference.

Today was the last day of our first summer BJJ intensive. Kids and teens did a great job.

All week we focused in real fundamentals, elbows tight, knee close to the chest, and good posture. We looked at hoe the same fundamentals work for better defense against side control, mount, and back takes.

Today, we showed that these same fundamentals worked when passing and defending guard positions.

And we may or may not have had some fun doing berimbolos and titanic submissions 🚢

Stay tuned for our next Summer BJJ Intensive June 29, 30 and July 2.

First day of our first Summer BJJ Intensive is in the books. Had some great classes working on side control escapes into turtle and dog fight positions.

Tomorrow we use the same control concepts to escape from Mount and Back Control.

Was excited to have some guests from other gyms come in to train with us!

Come out and join the team!

Coach K had these wrestlers putting in the work this Wednesday. Come join the team for wrestling practice tonight!
