Baby Mack in the House!!!

Baby Mack in the House!!!

Teddy told his dad Jonny Mack, he had to get his gear on before coming to the dojo!

Just so happens I have the same Bruce Lee top, so I had to put it on and snag a pic with little man!

Giovanni (a 15 Year old) Smashing adults on a weekly base…

In this case the adult is Chino 🙂 (who’s no damn slouch either)

Here’s Gio, performing the north south kimura…

Once it gets locked in, the opponent only has moments to tap or get their arm broken.

Fun Fact: The Kimura has history… Not only is it one of the most powerful submissions in grappling.

The submission became famous when Masahiko Kimura used it to defeat Helio Gracie in a grappling match.

Gio is damn good! He’s been training with us close to 5 years?

People look at Gio and see a kid, thats super friendly, cleans his room, does his homework… And thats all true… I see a highly disciplined, intelligent young man, that is still a (kid) Yet, destroys adults. (fighting someone his own size and age would be ungodly unfair)…

His parents Augie and Amanda put him into our dojo 5 years ago… Their investment in their kid has payed off… Very proud of you young man..

(Plus his little bro Anthony is making amazing strides as well’…) you can see his brain firing and understanding the positions… Watch out for these little ninjas. (they already are gettin damn good, I can’t imagine what they will be like when their 18).

It Never Gets EASIER… You Just Get STRONGER

I remember watching an episode of the Simpsons …

not one of the recent famous ones where they predict the future 😉 but the one were bart meets himself…

Bart is laying in bed and another bart is sitting on the edge his bed starring at him.

Bart ask: “Who are you”Barts copy replies: “I AM YOU… BUT STRONGER”.

Damn that resonated with me.

There are few things in life that will actually make you stronger mentally and physically…

The dojo is that place for me.

Jiu Jitsu Dads Are Bad A _ _

“Dojo-Dad Are Truly Bad A _ _”  

Here is Aaron Adam Drilling with who happens to be His Best Friend Jonny Mack… While his ‘other best friend’ Elias (Aarons son) watches and smiles…. 

Review From Aaron: “Hey Jack, I just wanted to say thank you in general for letting me come back to the Dojo and picking up where I left off. I am and my family notices how important it is for my mental well being that I am back at the Dojo and how it important it is for me.”

I wish I could share my love ❤️ of Kenpo Jiu Jitsu with everyone yet time and my schedule don’t allow that to happen. 

Adam had perfect timing on joining our dojo as he got one of our last openings. I am very proud of you in how far you’ve come and look forward to your continuous improvement amigo! 

Yet …right now I am about 100% at Capacity. 

I do have a waiting list… “If your interested in getting personal 1-on-1 instruction, that fit your needs, on your schedule and get you the result you want while having fun, making friends, learning cool stuff I highly recommend you call us at 541-608-2848.

Cool Hack For Training

Little Man Ryder Rocking his dojo workout…

while in the back ground his sister Raegan is pumping out pushups with my daughter ( she’s getting ready for her workout … I make all kids do a full body workout before their lessons).

One of the big concepts to earning anything life is “time under pressure”…

for example, in fitness…how long your lifting the object with 10 quick reps that are done in 10 seconds or 10 … 4 second reps that are done in 40 seconds.

Literally one rep if the second group is worth 4 sets of the 10 second exercise.

The same thing goes with “Slow-is-Smooth” practice…

Which is what I am doing with Ryder in the picture.

Right now I am spending more time at the end of his kick to wire in how it feels when completing a fully extended side kick.

Just by holding the position for 10 seconds, it will be better than doing 10 kicks.

Through the concept of time under pressure you can easily make leap and bounds in your training.

Now normally I would say if your interested in joining a an awesome group of people I highly recommend you do what Ryder and Raegan did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial.

But …right now I am about 100% at Capacity.

I don’t have room for anymore people on my schedule.

And then I’d say something along the lines of “If your interested in getting personal 1-on-1 instruction, that fit your needs, on your schedule and get you the result you want while having fun, making friends, learning cool stuff I highly recommend you call us at 541-608-2848.

“Sounds pretty damn fair to me go ahead and call 541-608-2848.” BUT my last spots are gone…

The next best thing is to be put on the wait-list. (3 people are ahead of of you) (I will follow up with you in the order of receiving your applications.

Right now I have a lady who’s joining the Local MPD 1st inline, a Lady Basketball player from SOU on the wait list and a good friend and student of mine …Travis recommend his best friend kid to join us is 3rd on the wait list.

Are you Opposed to Becoming MORE FLEXIBLE, Stronger and Lose weight all while having fun?

Are you Opposed to Becoming MORE FLEXIBLE, Stronger and Lose weight all while having fun? Sport Specific Exercise are a game changer…

I highly recommend you try something different like SSE. Here is me showing Jessie a way to strengthen grips and wire in Omote Sankaku at the same time.

(Almost every grappling match starts with grips. If you win the grip fight, you can win the fight).

So what is SSE? Sport-specific training is simply fitness and performance training designed to help a task that your going to do in a sport…

I personally switched all my exercises over to sport specific training about 12 years ago and have never looked back. 

If you’re an athlete or wishing to become a better one… you’ll reap massive results… by changing to SSE.

As soon as you do it, you’ll find yourself becoming more flexible, stronger, have almost zero injuries (which is the big one for me)..and you’ll find yourself to be ungodly strong in weird possession compared to normal people. 

I was just teaching another local personal trainer who teaches strength training and we were talking about why I personally switched to more Body weight exercises with SSE Goals… And why she’s doing the same.

Most injuries in sports happen from not training on a 3 dimensional plane, they usually just train a forward and back motion, or purposely  don’t train past a 90 degree angle because your body becomes weaker. 

Whats funny, In Jiu Jitsu this is our PRIMARY goal. We ARE trying to injure you so our entire goal is to get you where you body is weak and snap you or tap you. It would make since then to become more, flexible and stronger in those naturally dangerous areas…

If you don’t have a heavy weight gi like the one I am using you can simple roll up a towel throw It over your pull up bar or branch out side and practicing pull ups.. once you get the hang of it, you can invert yourself like I did and practicing your omote sankaku while supporting all your bodyweight with your tendon strength.

(If you think you might fall flat on your face, I highly recommend you video tape it so you can send it to me hahaha… also put a pillow down, so you don’t die a horrible death) 

Now normally I would say if your interested in joining a bad a _ _ awesome group of people I highly recommend you do what Jessie did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial. 

But …right now I am about 100% at Capacity. I don’t have room for no more people on my schedule.

To NOT be mean… But To Be Very nice.. 

And then when being nice isn’t an option…Then I want her highly trained on how to Violently Defend Herself, or Her Friends.

Leighton started training because her dad James… 

James has been a life long martial artist and has trained with the likes of Paul Vunak (who trained with one of Bruce Lees Most famous student Dan Insanto… 

Paul Vunak also did Hand 2 Hand instruction for seal team 6. 

Why do I bring that up? Because after doing our Risk Free Trial James Chose to train at our dojo about 6 years ago and hasn’t stopped. 

Plus he gave me the highest compliment you could ever give someone… he brought his daughter into train with us. Thats awesome.

Now normally I would say if your interested in joining a bad a _ _ awesome group of people I highly recommend you do what Leighton and James did and take our 100% Risk Free Trial.

Nery is Drilling with a Mr. Giovanni… Both are great, young  Dudes with an endless amount of potential.

************************************

Bringing up age, I always get asked.

************************************

“Whens the best time to start training?”

 I usually reply with the saying.

“Whens the best time to plant an apple tree?

The answer: 

“10 years ago…” that implies you want to be able to eat your own freshly grown organic apples. 

People usually look at me with a question mark on their face..

… and I then I state the answer their looking for… 

which is…  “whens the The next best time Jack?”

“NOW.”

My point being, is you should of already started…And if you haven’t started for whatever reason it is and have been waiting for the right moment or a sign to pop up to tell you it snow ok….. 

then this IS the sign for you!  lol 🙂 

The problem is looking at my schedule I can only make time for 2 more spots then my personal schedule will be completely maxxed out. 

Here’s what I recommend you do:  Call 541-608-2848 for our Risk FREE Trial where you get 3 Private Lessons Valued at $180 for $39 bucks. 

(its risk free, because if you don’t absolutely have a blast Ill give you 100% of your money back)… 

Pretty damn fair offer if you ask me. (Again, this Risk Free offer is only valid until my schedule is maxed) Thats 2 more spots. Then its gone. 

Again simply call 541-608-2848. Thanks.
