Nekiaya Jackson (Kiaya J) is way smaller than me, but she is a beast, and she is probably my favorite training partner right now. Since she is so much smaller than me, you can see that I don’t try to crush her with my weight (most of the time lol); generally I elect to stay on bottom or just play. Nekiaya is great at this kind of training, which I think is the most important type. You need a certain spirit and a certain belief in the process to train this way, though. As well as a high measure of self-confidence.
I want to build a spirit of play and joy in my students and I try to express that in myself; in my style of training. In my approach to problem solving. In my business. In my interactions off the mats. I want to model joy and fun for my students.
I feel that this is the best way to build life long martial artists, and to build students who yearn to examine the art deeply. I was very blessed that my first teacher, Jamie Webster, really drove that home to me. We want to train in a way that makes us want to train every day. Because that’s how you get good. There are no secret moves or secrets to training. There’s just the mat hours. Find training partners that help you get mat hours, and find a style that makes you eager to get on the mats every single day.
Kiaya is currently in the midst of a streak of dominating her competition here in the Southeast. I fully believe she is gonna be the BJJ Black Belt World Champion one day! Check out her YouTube channel here and make sure you subscribe! https://youtu.be/XLVTduk9C-M
