Trujitsu Makes a Wave at JJWL Worlds.

Every year Jiu Jitsu World League continues to grow as one of the premiere Jiu Jitsu tournament organizations, and their largest event absolutely showed this with record attendance. The JJWL Worlds is always one of the most challenging events to place on the podium as a team, and to make the challenge even greater, Trujitsu Bakersfield entered the brackets with a large squad of mostly new competitors. The end result..

Trujitsu once again made the podium, with Trujitsu Bakersfield earning 2nd place as an Academy and Trujitsu Unified as and organization consisting of only 3 other Trujitsu affiliates, Unum Jiu Jitsu, Delano Jiu Jitsu and Rios Bravo Jiu Jitsu, all together earning  the third place spot.

Experience is always an advantage with competition, but this time around the result was more of an example of team work, organization and unity to accomplish another great run at a top level event.

Trujitsu Affiliate Camp is Back!

Every summer Trujitsu HQ opens the doors for an uplifting Trujitsu Family reunion. What is it like to see over a 100 avid Jiu Jitsu players rolling at the same time? Insane energy! Wall to wall rolls and smiles even in the middle of triple digit weather. Every camp provides an opportunity for Trujitsu team mates from various city’s to  reunite, learn new Trujitsu concepts, make stronger bonds and feed off each other with countless rounds of Jiu Jitsu. This year’s focus covered Team building concepts, mindset for success, Triangle Escapes, various Half guard options, Single Leg X wizardry, and a segment specifically for understanding and preparing for IBJJF Grand Slam events.

Trujitsu Kids Camp Returns With a Splash.

Trujitsu kids spent 1 week developing, learning and setting the tone for the next big wave of Trujitsu. The next generation of Trujitsu is reaching a higher level every year, and summer camp is one of the main contributing factors.

Although most days involved over 4 hours of training, our kids never stopped pushing forward with smiles and laughs.

Why Law Enforcement and First Responders need… TRUJITSU.

Imagine going to work everyday knowing that you are potentially facing a challenge that could be both harmful to you physically, and financially. You are signed up to go in harms way to correct bad scenarios, and de-escalate situations, while simultaneously being under the greatest scrutiny. That is the current job description for today’s Law Enforcement Officers, and now more than ever, the ability to stay calm under pressure is a must.

This has become increasingly difficult with the escalation of crime and the lighter penalties that make prosecution of criminals less likely. A Criminal has little to nothing to lose, while the officer has a strict protocol to follow to avoid accusation. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, every year over 80 officers are arrested for excessive force or misconduct.

What can be said about the current demands of Law enforcement, is that an officer needs to have the physical skills to apprehend a violent offender, while simultaneously having the mental aptitude to stay calm with no desire to use force no matter how provoking the suspect might act.

This is not as simple as learning how to apply a wrist lock and hand cuffs. Aggressive training is no longer the solution. An officer now needs to have an exceptional mental maturity that promotes a passive yet assertive behavior, which is no easy task.

What is needed..

To deal with the worst situations in the community, you need the best resources in the community.

There are countless programs that teach a person how to fight, but that is not enough. The real battle happens with a person’s mindset.

Proper training can not happen

by attending a seminar or occasional workshop, because repetition is needed to develop reaction time and muscle memory.

Proper training can not happen

in an environment that has lesser developed participants, because that will not make a person confident when dealing with a physically imposing criminal.

Proper training can not happen if the curriculum is based on aggression, explosiveness or physical ability, because there is always someone stronger. An officer must use techniques that are based on leverage and don’t rely on strength or physical ability to be successful.

Proper training will happen if a person is in an environment that is surrounded by skilled training partners that intelligently apply  leverage based moves and are capable of safely pushing an individual to the limits they are exposed to while on duty. Training partners must have the ability and desire to train safely, not recklessly, while still applying intensity. This type of environment and curriculum takes years to develop, and this level of training on a weekly basis is what is necessary for an officer to build the confidence and mental acuity to deal with todays level of exposure. In addition, this also provides stress relief and camaraderie that is uplifting to an individual who is constantly exposed to harsh conditions.

And..

This is what TRUITSU is, and why every Law Enforcement Officer specifically needs TRUJITSU.

Intelligence over aggression. An established Community building its community.

TRUJITSU NEWS HIGHLIGHTS of 2023

2023 has been filled with non-stop excitement. For the most up to date daily news we encourage following our social media pages TRUJITSU HQ on Insta, or MattBakerbjj on FB. For those unable to follow on social media, here are just a few highlights you might have missed ..

Kids Class reaches new heights with TJU and a new curriculum focusing on education, confidence building and self defense.

TRUJITSU HQ grabs two 1st Place trophies at IBJJF LA OPEN. Jiu Jitsu competition is one way to measure progress and development of a curriculum, and IBJJF is the toughest tournament circuit to find success. On March 12th TRUJITSU Bakersfield with the help of nine team mates from 208 Academy joined together and grabbed 1st Place against some of the most accomplished organizations in Jiu Jitsu. TRUJITSU HQ youth competitors also captured the 1st Place Teens trophy. Thank you again to our TRUJITSU Idaho affiliate team mates at 208 Academy for making the trip to help us reach our goal. Sam and Mel, you rock.

As we approach our official 20th year anniversary we have been reminded of how many moving parts, and wonderful people work together to make or goals happen. Thank you all, and we look forward to what’s next. TBC…

Happy New Year of Goals To Reach.

Happy New Year! , and Happy start a great new set of goals in 2023.

As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child”, nothing is more true with today’s many distractions. Our younger generation has plenty distractions and influences, however we believe that with continuous bonding, communication and good direction, your child will grow to be a successful person.

That is our goal!, and it’s not just about winning medals and trophies. More important is to develop the mental and social skills necessary for them to have successful careers later in life.

Winning medals is great, and absolutely part of the goal, but building character and values is what helps a child reach their highest potential in life, as well as Jiu Jitsu and other sports.

Thank you for letting us help with the journey.

20 years and counting!!
