The Dojo NYC

Simple situp guard entry to worm guard going for the most well known sweep and the easiest to accomplish. This is one of my favorite setups to combo from situp guard as well as one I like to use against opponents who have really well versed passing.

Looking ahead. Each year, as with each new day, is an opportunity to add pages into the book of your story. To create a new chapter and build a legacy, a legend that lives on. 2020 was a difficult year for many reasons despite the obvious ones but also a year of great growth. 2021 will be no different. I look forward to growth as a student but more importantly as a teacher. A leader. Inspired by the examples of @cobrinhacharles @isaacdoederlein and @kennedy_jiujitsu, all st...alwarts and influences in who I want to grow into as a leader and a teacher, each day I aim to grow in every facet of the imagination. #dowork #neverstop @thedojonyc @shoyoroll By the illustrious @mikecalimbas

First training of 2021 is in the books!

@mikecalimbas At least I got some nice shots :)

Winter promotions at The Dojo Even though we are operating under uncertain conditions during unique times, the tradition of ending the year with a celebration of the work many individuals have put on and off the mats goes on. Congratulations to all the students who received stripes on their belts for the effort they've put in and those that have leveled up to the next rank to start the journey anew! ... Thank you to Prof @cobrinhacharles for allowing me the opportunity to carry out promotions, recognizing all the hard work our students put in day and day out at @cobrinhanyc #dowork #neverstop #thedojonyc @ The Dojo NYC

Another competition and another missed opportunity at the elusive gold medal. I never fight for or post about the consolation 3rd place medal. This one is a little different however. While I was here to support some friends in their endeavors, I was fighting for a certain someone who I dedicate this medal to. The good fight is always worth fighting for. And to everyone who's fighting any internal struggles with life, that sometimes feels too great a mountain to climb, as lo...ng as you keep fighting however long that fight is, eventually you'll end up on top. As long as you keep fighting, I'll keep fighting too. Thank you to the squad back home and special thanks to @isaacdoederlein @doctor.rehanbjj and @sleepyg0h for coaching #mentalhealth #pma #endthestigma

Using typical reactions from an opponents recovery options, I show a concept I've been using a lot when passing De La Riva guard as well as toriando style passes to trap the knee and use the opponents forced frame to pass using reverse knee on belly as well as potential back attacks. @shoyoroll @thedojonyc #befirst #noless #thedojonyc #shoyoroll #Cobrinhanyc #cobrinhabjj #grappling #jiujitsu #bjj #bjjlifestyle #porrada #neverstop #quarantine #tech #brooklyn #queens #nyc

The Dojo #dontrushchallenge!

Take a look at what plans we have for this month as we await the day we open our doors again for training as well as a special thank you to all our members who continue to support the gym as wells how we plan on compensating our students for keeping the dojo doors open. We also outline our plans for supporting our students who are out there fighting against the virus in the medical field along with a plan to help support our coaches who are out of work.

Going through something like the current global situation we are all sharing in can give you pause to think of certain people and today I wanted to highlight and thank our students who are on the very front lines, our paramedics. In the dojo we laugh a lot, enjoy our time together even though sometimes I can be a bully but the respect I have for you is unmatched. They go through some of the toughest situations being often the first on the scene when seconds matter to save a l...ife and they are the difference makers in countless situations. And now they risk their bodies and their families wellbeing to be the first responders during this crisis and their efforts cannot go unthanked. Jordan, Jose, Dovy and Efrain (not pictured ) as well as all those on the front lines of this pandemic in the medical field from all walks of life thank you so much for the sacrifices you make each and every day but especially today. Keep your heads up, keep fighting the good fight. Looking forward to our mat time very soon my brothers @je_roma62 @addict3d2lyfe @dovy6 And once again thank you so much @emmanuelnunez for capturing these moments. See more

Something that’s been in my arsenal for a long time and highly recommend to set up quick surprising subs from unconventional positions. Enjoy! @thedojonyc @cobrinhabjjhq @shoyoroll @albinoandpreto ... #jiujitsu #bjj #nogi #toehold See more

I wanted to contribute to the community of instructors putting tips out there to help us get through this quarantine a little easier. Here I demonstrate a couple of things you can get reps in that I like to do when I’m bored or watching tv (Netflix and jits?) and they are really simple helpful tips that don’t require leaving your couch or floor. I’m using this on down time to supplement my at home training with the CapoFit workout from prof @cobrinhacharles and I recommend you do the same! Checkout prof. Cobrinhas page or @cobrinhabjjhq to find the quick workout and add it to all the solo routines you’ve been doing! Enjoy! @shoyoroll @thedojonyc #netflixandjits

In light of the uncertainty surrounding the corona virus outbreak and the fact that as an owner and your instructor who prides himself in taking all measures to protect his students, we are going to have to close The Dojo and cancel classes for a period of two weeks starting today the 13th. Classes will resume on the 30th however we will be monitoring the ongoing situation and will update accordingly. It pains me to make this decision but given the circumstances and the mand...ate upon us as a team at the dojo to take care of every person that steps into our dojo, we cannot in good conscience, permit the possible spread of the virus to any other students. At the end of the day it is better to be safe than sorry. This is a huge financial burden on our small dojo but it’s a necessary burden to make sure all our students are treated fairly and with their health in mind. I hope you all understand and we look forward to a speedy return to the mats -Prof. Gabe and the Dojo team
