Coaching/Parenting 101

The godfather of Sacramento BJJ in action.

In honor of those who gave all they had for the rest of us, we’re keeping it brief today. What better way to honor their sacrifice, than by enjoying our freedom of choice, including how we spend the holiday. Whether bar-b-queing with one's family, rolling at an open mat, or attending a civic celebration, we hope everyone takes a moment to contemplate the magnitude of what the day means, and give thanks. https://werneckfamilyjiujitsu.com///to-those-who-gave-all/

As we head into week #10 of this state wide "stay at home," many communities are slowly moving into Phase 2. This step in the right direction provides a welcome bit of relief, but we're still a long way from any sense of normalcy. The indefinite nature of this entire affair, along with its horrendous economic impact only compound the stress many are feeling.

Unprecedented. Such hyperbole has become common recently; we've heard it in the news, read it in headlines and in the weekly updates from various government agencies.

Before that, the Spring Equinox [ 266 more words ] https://werneckfamilyjiujitsu.com/2020/04/13/what-day-is-it/

We find ourselves in unique circumstances. It appears we will be under the remain in place directive through April, and possibly even May, however, as martial artists, we won’t allow this to define us, but rather we will use it as an opportunity for growth. As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. In our case, we’re focused on developing a strong online curriculum; one that will help us all navigate these uncertain times and continue our pursuit of excellence in the art of Brazilian Jiujitsu.

With an indefinite end-date on the Placer County directive to "stay in place," we find ourselves in a quandry. We want to get together with our teammates, learn some new moves, and roll, but in the name of public safety, we are stuck at home honoring our civic duty for an unknown period of time.
