SATURDAY september 26th, 10am-12pm
The TRUCK
Deep-dive into one of modern grappling’s most powerful control positions. In this 2-hour workshop, Coach Brian breaks down the mechanics of The Truck! We’ll be covering entry points, position control, how to flip the truck, back-take transitions, and high-percentage submissions. brought into mainstream grappling by Eddie Bravo, the Truck is an amazing position that blends back control with leg entanglements. Please note that most of what you’ll learn here is not legal for white belts to use in competition, but everyone is encouraged to come learn it. Who cares about white belt rules anyways, am I right?
Stay after the workshop for live rolling to test your new entries and refine the position under pressure.

Saturdays 10am
7×7 Live Rolling
Seven rounds. Seven minutes each. Every Saturday morning, the mats are open and the clock is running.
This isn't a class — there's no instruction, no curriculum. Just live rolling at a duration that actually tests your game. Seven-minute rounds add something five-minute rounds don't: a pacing problem. A survival layer. A moment somewhere around round four where you find out what you're really working with. This isn’t about ruining your partner’s day, it’s about pushing yourself and not letting yourself quit.
Come hydrated. Come ready to work. All levels are welcome to attend — and if you're a blue belt or above, there's no mat fee.
