Happy Thanksgiving everyone, The Sweep Spot will be open on Thanksgiving from 10am to 12pm for a special open mat. Choking your friends at Jiu-jitsu is proven to increase your tolerance of family members and in-laws by 65% or more!!!
Good open mat crew today!
Ah, brotherly love! If you enjoy doing this to your brother or friend, then come on by! We hold classes Monday through Thursday and have open mats on Saturday's. Click the link in the bio to reserve a free week trial!
He's not wrong. If you enjoy choking your friends, come check out our adult jiu jitsu classes! We offer morning, afternoon, and evening classes.
These two crazy kids got their first stripes! Watch out for these guys. Well done Abby and Hugo!
We are adding open mats at The Sweep Spot. It will be every Saturday from 10am till 12pm. Teens and Adults are welcome to come train!
Game face. Our little kids' program at The Sweep Spot prioritizes: 1. Fun - jiu jitsu is tough, it's hard sport. We want to instill a joy for training. It needs to be fun or they won't want to do it! 2. Focus - we play simple games with clear objectives, and we teach them to problem solve to complete the objective. 3 Develop athletic movements - we spend a lot of time learning various types of crawling, tumbling, and basic gymnastics skills. These skills are great for young athletes to help develop movement patterns that aid in athletic skill transfer. We offer week long free trials for kids and have all the equipment needed for your child to give jiu-jitsu a try! Come on by!
Coach Adam and I are really proud of this kid. Daniel took a big step up in his 1st jiu-jitsu competition and went into the adult division. Competition isn't always about winning, it's a chance to see where we are and what we need to work on. This kid is gonna be a real problem for these guys real soon. Great work Daniel! @elevated_bjj @grapplingindustries
Congratulations to both Silver and Eleanor for earning their first stripe! Both of these little monsters have been showing a ton of improvement, and we couldn't be more proud of them. Well done you two!
Congratulations to Jasmine and Francios on their 1st stripes! These two have been showing up, putting in the work, and most importantly having a blast while they do it. Great work you two!
Thank you to all our students for your patience and support. We are done with the upgrades and have to say it looks awesome! Thanks to Garrett and Cole for doing all the work, @fujimatco for the awesome custom wall pads and @annafriendt.ink for the logo designs! @boatworkslaketahoe
Congratulations to Jackson, Jameson, and Sydney on earning their stripes last week! I'm really proud of all the consistent hard work they have been putting in. Watch out for these guys! This was all of us "looking tough," in case you were wondering.
The Sweep Spot will have regular classes 7/1 through 7/3, will will be closed on the 4th and resume normal class schedule the following week.
Max got her first stripe!! This is our first promotion at The Sweep Spot. We have been really impressed by Max. She has been consistent, committed, and is developing her skills quickly. We can't wait to see what's next for her on her jiu-jitsu journey.
Good morning Tahoe City! If you like seeing view like this, come take our 530am class. Awesome sun rises over lake happen to be an every day occurrence here.
If you're planning to visit Lake Tahoe this summer, remember we have a lot of black bears in the area. If you want to learn to defend yourself against bears, stop by @the_sweepspot or @elevated_bjj. Our Jiu-jitsu is 100% effective against these apex predators, as shown by the flow chart above.
Professor Adam demonstrates an effective snap down. Anytime you see the top of your opponent’s head, take it. Cover their head and “give them a hole to fall into”—meaning, don’t throw them into your own base. This low-energy takedown puts you in a great position to break them down further or attack their neck. Perfect for conserving energy while staying on the offensive.
At The Sweep Spot we clean our mats using a fancy smancy hydrostatic sprayer with a precise amount of disinfectant, all according to science. #ibeliveinscience
Mastering head position is key in both standing engagements and grappling on the mat. With proper head position, you dictate the orientation of your opponent's hips. Watch @ericfostermoore demonstrating this crucial tactic as he sets up for a single leg against coach Adam. It's subtle, but notice the orientation of their hips as the head position changes.
Our 5-10 yr old kids class starts today at 4:30pm!!!!
Being able to focus your attention is a critical skill for kids to develop. Good thing it's easy to focus when you're having fun!
When coach puts you in the phone booth...
Come on by! We are open for rolling today until 3pm! Oh and there is pizza from @mountainslicetahoe That alone is worth the trip over to the lake.
Professor Adam @elevated_bjj really spearheading the mat install effort today 😂 Shout out to @igorpowersurge for helping us knuckle draggers out.
Brainstorming session with Professor Adam 🤔 Exciting times ahead as we plan out our new gym space! Don't worry everyone, we've already identified the best spots to put students into cradles and heel hooks.
We are super excited to announce the opening of The Sweep Spot Jiu Jitsu inside @boatworkslaketahoe. If you have ever wanted to train Jiu Jitsu about 50 feet away from Lake Tahoe, now you can! More announcements to come soon! @elevated_bjj @peninsula_self_defense @148_jiu_jitsu @jj_machado_dfw @tahoenorth @northtahoefire @placer_sheriff @visittahoecity
