Welcome back to Tap Nap & Snap - the newsletter that is dropping its first edition of Freak For The Technique …. right… now. 💥 Consider us as white belts in our trial class for this first video, so go easy! 😮‍💨

Let's go! 🔥

Before We Hit The Mats … 🤼

We’ve got some friends that will help you … help us … help you? Seriously though - we love putting out this newsletter, but it is honestly a lot of work.

Simply by checking them out and seeing what’s on offer - you’ll be helping us keep this show on the road - and most likely landing some epic finds for yourself too 😎🙏 ⬇️

Jiu-jitsu is famous for building world-class communities and friendships that can last for a lifetime - but that doesn’t happen unless students can find gyms and gym owners can find students! 🤝

Fighters Passport seamlessly connects coaches and gyms with students and athletes via a simple and easy-to-use app.

BJJ school owners can quickly and easily list their academy in the Fighters Passport database so that any students in their area can do a quick postcode search and find all the necessary details. ✅

If you’re a coach or school owner looking for more members - this is for you. If you’re a student (hobbyist or athlete) looking for an academy or somewhere to train when travelling - this is for you.

Hit ‘em With The Half Guard Claw. 😎

In our very first Freak For The Technique video, Josh shows a handy detail from the bottom half guard that scores a lot of easy sweeps in the gym. 🧹 

It’s a simple setup - but by catching the wrist with a claw grip first, you can elevate your opponent’s chest to create a lot more space and insert that bottom hook much more easily. 💪

In the video above, we show it from a few different angles and break down the three major details to focus on in order to hit it clean … so press play and check it out! 👆

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to hit this in your gym on a few unsuspecting training partners before our next FFTT send-out. 😏

We will run a poll in the next fortnight's edition to see how you went, troubleshoot any pain points & high-five ✋ the wins!

P.S. - As we’ve just launched this video series, it’d be a huge help in getting us started if you could like this video and subscribe to the channel while you’re over there! Thanks, legends! 🙏

From The Last FFTT Edition:

We asked you: ‘How Damn Pumped Are You For FFTT!?’ 

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🔥 Off. the. charts. LFG!

🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 🤷 Mmm, I wanna see it first...

⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 🥱 Yawn. Another technique video?

⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 😐 I stopped feeling anything years ago

Most of you guys are stoked for us to crack into this - so thank you!

Some of you guys are more reserved and want to see it first, which is definitely fair - so I hope this first one has delivered the goods. 📨

No one was yawning, which is nice, but one of you apparently stopped feeling anything years ago … so that’s a worry. I assume that’s why you started BJJ though, and can only assume it’s working for you. 😎

YOU WIN, WE WIN!

Sharing Is Caring 🫵

Hey! - this is your chance to do a damn good deed and help us out while also scoring yourself some sweet, sweet rewards for doing so! Win-Win baby!

All we ask for is that you share our newsletter with some of the other BJJ savages in your circle - we will even give you heaps of cool stuff to say thanks! ⬇️

…with more to come!

How'd We Go?

Are we on the money? Or are we lacking some pizzazz? The rule is though - if you think we missed the mark, you've gotta write in and let us know why. It's only fair!
