I am in Dallas Texas, training with 8th Degree Black Belt Carlos Machado. It is an intensive 4 day training camp on all aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
It is always amazing to be on the mat with an instructor of Carlos Machado’s caliber. Thursday started with a basic class where Carlos shared his innovative training methods of sequencing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Students with a few days to 12 months experience were all learning the details that makes the Machado method so unique. All the students were excited at the end of the class and got a great workout as well as learned great details of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
We then proceeded to the advanced class which was comprised of Blue to Black Belts. Carlos shared some simple adjustments to some fundamental techniques. He then progressed through various positions making little changes to solidify everyones skill sets. We then went into sparring rounds where we tried to implement the new techniques Carlos shared with us. It was a fantastic learning experience, I walked away with a lot of new knowledge as well as new friends. There is nothing like training Jiu Jitsu with someone to develop camaraderie.
I am getting ready for another day of training with Carlos. I am looking forward to sharing all the knowledge, drills and techniques with the Team Empire students.
I look forward to seeing you all soon
