You want to check out a few different people and see which person matches your style best, or more accurately, who's style you could match best. And you probably want to find someone close to your weight. You don't have to, but they can be easier to emulate than someone a lot heavier or lighter than you. If you're a student of Team Tooke MMA or an affiliate student then get your hands on the curriculum videos. There is so much detail in every technique, and over 100 techniques between the 3 videos. -Coach Jeremy If we’re talking BJJ, I recommend checking out some of the top competitors like Roger Gracie, Marcelo Garcia, Bernardo Faria, Cobrinha (Rubens Charles), Tarsis Humphreys, Michael Langhi, Rafael Mendes to name a few.

I already know what some are thinking...if you can't take notes in class just jot them down immediately after class when your mind is still fresh. That way you can easily see what you have been taught over the span of say one month (not to mention 2 or 3 months down the line) and you can practice those moves. As far as footage do you have any recommendations for me? You can let me know in class if you like. Thanks!

]]> Comment on Confidence – The most powerful weapon in Martial Arts by Anthony http://blog.teamtooke.com/confidence-the-most-powerful-weapon-in-martial-arts/comment-page-1/#comment-39 Anthony Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:51:32 +0000 http://blog.teamtooke.com/?p=23#comment-39 Confidence can be a fragile thing sometimes. I think in our society today too many people are so focused on winning at all costs that it takes away the enjoyment. It may also take away doing a move the correct way and in the longer run that will do more harm than good. I try to find positive things to say even in a loss. Maybe it was the fact that one never gave up, maybe they did some moves they learned in class correctly, that way the willingness to learn will still be there and along with that the confidence to continue trying. One thing follows another, it is a circular thing. Confidence can be a fragile thing sometimes.
