Lifestyle

At Ascend success is a habit not an action. We expect the kids to build good habits on the mats. We want them to learn that the more good habits they have in every aspect of their life. The more successful they will be in everything they do. We are all going to develop habits. They can be bad, mediocre, or good. At Ascend we choose to teach good habits. It’s more work, but we believe your kids will be successful if they learn to become the best version of themselves. There’s a quote I like that explains this idea well: “Greatness is a lot smaller than things done well.”

Have you heard someone at your gym say "OSS"? It gets thrown around almost like a Jiu-Jitsu meme. But OSS has a deep history outside of BJJ. It is a word of many meanings in Judo, Karate and Samurai warrior history. JT took a deep dive to try to get to the bottom of the meaning in BJJ and its origin- where did it actually come from? With references from all corners of the internet the boys go through a wide ranging discussion to reveal if you should or not use it and maybe it has been replaced? As Jiu-Jitsu culture evolves both terminology and procedure change and the question is has OSS gone the way of the dinosaurs?
