Class Schedule
Helping a newer student does not mean you stop improving.
Teaching forces you to explain what you think you understand. Slowing down exposes details you usually skip. Giving the right resistance requires awareness and control.
The beginner gets better. The experienced student gets sharper.
That is mutual refinement.

Two gold medals do not happen because everything goes perfectly.
They happen because someone has spent enough time dealing with things that do not.
Bad positions. Hard rounds. Mistakes. Adjustments. More rounds.
Professor Sonya Plavcan won her division and the Open class. That result was earned long before the podium.
Back to work.

Your partner should be better because they trained with you.
Maybe they got a hard round. Maybe they finally understood a position. Maybe you exposed a mistake without punishing them for it. Maybe you were the person who welcomed them when they were new.
That is a standard worth carrying into every class.
Leave people better than they arrived.

The room is built one round at a time.
Every training partner adds something: patience, pressure, technical problems, encouragement, accountability, or an example worth following.
What are you adding today?

Competition gives you a very honest answer.
Not about your worth. Not about who you are.
About what worked that day.
That is why a podium can be celebrated without becoming the finish line. You take the result, learn from it, and keep becoming.
Failure is the predecessor to success. Success is not the end of the work either.
Stay on the path. #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart #ibjjf

Two athletes. Four gold-medal performances.
Hazel Rose Salazar won her division and the Open class. Professor Sonya Plavcan did the same.
There is a lot to celebrate in a picture like this.
There is even more that happened before it: the rounds, the preparation, the hard days, the adjustments, and the people who helped them get ready.
Congratulations to both of them.

Fifty-one IBJJF world titles.
Alliance finished first in both the men`s and women`s team standings at World Master, adding another chapter to a history built across generations of competitors and coaches.
For us in Madison, being part of Alliance means being connected to a standard much larger than any one academy.
History is not an accident. It is built, defended, and passed forward.
Proud to represent Alliance in Madison. #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart #ibjjf

A promotion is personal, but it is never entirely individual.
Training partners gave you problems to solve. Coaches gave you corrections. Teammates pushed the pace, slowed it down, encouraged you, and made you earn better answers.
Jiu Jitsu is individual progress built inside shared work.
Iron sharpens iron.

First place for the Alliance men. First place for the Alliance women.
Mark had the honor of receiving the men`s team trophy, and Professor Sonya received the women`s team trophy.
Those trophies represent a lot more than one academy or one weekend. They represent athletes and coaches from across Alliance contributing points, preparation, and effort toward something shared.
We were proud to have Madison standing there when the team trophies were presented.
Proud of the whole Alliance team.

That hand-raise lasts a few seconds.
Getting ready for it takes months and years.
The useful part of competition is that there is nowhere to hide. You get to find out what held up, what broke down, and what needs work next.
Win or lose, you come home with information.
Then you get back on the mat.

Nobody gets very far in jiu-jitsu alone.
A big result may belong to the athlete, but the road to it is crowded with coaches, teammates, training partners, family, and people who kept showing up and especially the sponsors!!!
That is one of the things worth remembering when the medals come out.
Thank you #Kingz #Kingzkimonos for helping Hazel stay on the path.
