    Audible.com Free Trial

    I love to learn. Reading books is one of the best ways to access new information. However, I do not always have the time to sit down and read. It was at our previous dojo location several years ago that I discovered audible.com. I would listen to audiobookswhile on flights, road trips, or at the dojo while while doing solo workouts, after hours cleaning, and maintenance. I even started listening to books while I was lifting weights at the gym rather than listening to music. Studies have shown that listening to books is equal to reading when it comes to comprehensionand retention of information. I am still a very big fan of physical books. My kids love to read along while listening to the ....

  • How to be the Perfect Practice Partner
    30 Nov 2020

    How to be the Perfect Practice Partner

    Jita-Kyoei (Mutual Prosperity) is one of the two main maxims for Kodokan Judo. In Judo or Jiu-jitsu practice, both partners should benefit from the training session. Think of ROI (return on investment). You get out of it what you put into it. If you are a good practice partner, more people and higher quality partners will wish to train with you. It's in your best interest to be a good partner. Right now, due to Covid-19 social distancing mandates, most martial arts academies are not working with partners or it is very limited. Many academies are closed or only doing online classes. Still, even if you are working with a family member on your mats at home, it's important to ....

    Three Principles of a Throw and How They Relate to Groundwork

    Nage-Waza = Throwing Techniques.
    A throw can be broken down into 3 fundamental principles. Each of these elements has many details withinitself. Understanding these 3 principles will not only help the techniques performed from standing but will also improve your ability to perform techniques in the grappling phase.
    Each of the three components have a value, are uniquely important, and must unify for the proper execution of the entire technique.
    Kuzushi translates to mean "off balancing" and comprises 75% of the throw.
    Tsukuri is "fitting in for completion" and comprises 20% of the throw.
    Kake is the "completion/execution" of the throw and comprises 5%.

    Learn Self-defense. Jiu-jitsu enables a person of smaller stature to defend against a larger more powerful attacker.

Parents enroll their kids into martial arts programs to develop self esteem, confidence, and other life skills, but also because they want their child to be capable of physically defending against potential threats. We know that as parents we cannot be with our children every minute of every day.

It is very hard to find the level of expertise in a coach like Larry Keith. With 36 years of martial arts training and experience and well over 20 years of teaching, you are in great hands! He and his many excellent coaches have set up a curriculum that can help any martial artist in any facet of the game. This is a school of true martial artists. I couldn't recommend them more!

Really enjoying the virtual sessions during this strange time. Definitely helps with stress relief AND lets me use my gym mats in the garage. I plan on upgrading my gym some more! To my wife's regret, I'm sure!

Regan Tucker

Dynamic Martial Arts has been doing a fantastic job keeping students active and focused with online Zoom classes. They recently did a “drive thru” graduation ceremony so students don’t miss out on their earned rankings.
Lilyana earned a white stripe on her grey belt. Her next step on her way to her black belt! She also earned Achievement medals for an A/B average in school and leadership reading homework.
So proud of this girl and her dedication to Jiu Jitsu and Judo!
