Technical Breakdowns in Martial Arts
I believe in developing Fight IQ, not just physical skill. Here, I break down specific techniques, fighter styles, and concepts from top-level competition to deepen your understanding of the sport.
This is a snapshot of my 'Dojo Weekly' newsletter. Each week, I break down our curriculum for BJJ and Boxing, and analyze concepts like combat sports judging from recent UFC events.
About Technical Breakdowns
When you walk into the dojo, you are not just learning how to throw a punch or lock in an armbar. You are learning the mechanics behind the move, from clinch work to judging criteria. In my Dojo Weekly sessions, we dissect how the game is played so you understand it as well as you practice it.
Building Your Fight IQ
Many people treat martial arts like a workout, but I treat it like a conversation. Whether we are drilling Boxing fundamentals or working through complex No-Gi BJJ transitions, the goal is always the same: understanding the 'why' behind every motion.
Why Technical Depth Matters
If you just memorize moves, you will freeze when things get chaotic. When you understand concepts, you can adapt. In our weekly curriculum, we cover:
- Boxing & Striking: Proper footwork, weight distribution, and managing distance, not just flailing at pads.
- Grappling: Takedown setups, guard passing, and submission mechanics that work in real MMA scenarios.
- Fight Logic: Analyzing competition judging or fighter tendencies, because understanding the sport on a mental level makes you a more effective practitioner.
The Dojo Weekly Approach
This isn’t about just sweating through a class. Every week, we take a deep dive into specific units—like clinch fighting or wrestling off the cage—so you can layer your skills logically. Whether you are prepping for a competition or just want to get better at your hobby, this technical foundation ensures your progress is measurable. You aren't just a student here, you are part of a team that is constantly learning, sparring safely, and getting 1% better every single session.
Let’s keep it playful, keep learning, and keep moving forward. 🥊📈
