Gym Cancer Culture (Episode 348)

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene answer a question from Collin who asks, "How do you recognize and fix gym culture without enforcers, and also what do you do if one of the enforcers becomes a gym bully"? We discuss how and when a "gym enforcer" should be used, one of the most corrosive things that can happen in the gym, "Absolute Cancerous Behaviors" and "Relative Cancerous Behaviors," some of the cancerous situations that Chewy had to address at the gym, something that would lead to immediate removal from the gym, reasons Chewy wouldn't promote a student, "pulling rank" at a gym, and our opinions on gauntlets.

Are you too old to start training Jiu-Jitsu?

Ever thought about trying Jiu-Jitsu but felt too old or worried about getting hurt? That was me not long ago. I hesitated, unsure if I could keep up or if it was even the right fit. But I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did. At AMP BJJ, I found a welcoming, supportive community that made me feel right at home from day one. Not only did I NOT get hurt, but I’m also in the best shape of my life, both physically and mentally. Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone—no matter your age or fitness level. Take that first step. You won’t regret it! #JiuJitsuJourney #NoExcuses #BestShapeOfYourLife #TryJiuJitsu #AMPBJJ #WelcomingCommunity #JiuJitsuForEveryone #StrongerEveryDay #MartialArtsLifestyle #FamilyTrainingCenter

Can You Get "Ridiculously" Strong For BJJ Without Lifting Weights? (Episode 347)

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss a recent article that claims that you can get "ridiculously" strong for BJJ by just doing bodyweight exercises. We chat about the article in depth and where we agree and disagree with the writer's arguments. We also discuss why some grapplers a resistant to lifting weights, how to properly use isometric exercises to strengthen your body, our thoughts on "Functional Exercises," if incorporating more wrestling into your training will increase strength, if you will get stronger by training with heavier training partners, whether there is any benefit to doing bodyweight exercises, if drilling can improve "functional strength" for BJJ, if increased flexibility and mobility will improve strength, whether cardiovascular conditioning improves strength, and out overall thoughts on this article.

Having fun is the best way of learning.

Scrabble - Minne Grappler Program is designed to develop much more than Jiu Jitsu (Self-defense) skills to our little grapplers. Our curriculum uses different types of learning methods to better serve the kids in our program. In this video we’re using activity-based learning which is a method of instruction that promotes learning through active participation and physical engagement. Our goal is to develop physical skills like coordination, balance, strength, endurance, and problem-solving abilities as the kids have the capability to teach themselves what to do when we use certain materials in class such as: cones, rings, dots, and more. #bjj #hus #husa #independentplay #jiujitsu #kidsclasses #lakenokomis #martialarts #mendotaheights #minnehahafalls #kidsjiujitsu #twincities #saintpaulmn #haus021 #haus021us #martialartsforkids #jiujitsufamily #familyactivities #motorskills #funtime #bjj #selfdefense #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsu #saintpaul #minnegrappler #motorskills #mendotaheightsmn #twincities #lakenokomis #independentplay #hus #husa #kidsclasses #antibullying
