Koffee Krew Unite Jake, Adan and Trinity
All right guys, so let's do a little introduction. We'll start on that end over there. My name is Jake train at Hollister BJJ. My name is Adan and I train Hollister, BJJ as well. My name is Trinity Lucero and I train at Solidarity Jiu Jitsu. What do you think about this big open mat? Loving it? I think it's amazing. It's a great turnout. Really packed. It wasn't expecting it to see. I was like, oh, it's gonna be a lot of open mass space and it's opposite. So it's a great turn out. It's pretty cool. I get to talk to a lot of new people and meet other women who roll. Absolutely. When did you start jiu jitsu? I started when I was 12. Went on and off, did wrestling and other sports, and then came really back to it when I was like around high school. What do you like about jiu jitsu? I love the community. I love the techniques. You don't, the little guy doesn't always lose, to the big guy, you know? Correct. So I love learning that and learning with others as well. What is your favorite move in jiu jitsu? I'd say triangles. And when did you start jiu jitsu? I started with, three years ago, I was 27, 30 now 31. So at the end of 27, I was actually very big. I still am. Kind of gained weight again, but I was really big and in one year I lost about a hundred pounds, nice. Between Jiu jitsu changed my life, around and, stuck around. Cool. What made you join jiu jitsu? I actually joined when I was six for, mainly for self defense and to have like something to work out, you know, and I've been doing it on and off also'cause of, I did softball and baseball when I was younger, but now more just into jiu jitsu. How about the community at Solidarity? How do you like it? I love it. Everybody treats you like family. It's really nice. And at Hollister BJJ tell us about your dojo. My Dojo, we have Professor Jose Leon total OG. Awesome. It's very disciplined. The kids program's awesome. And it's a very strong family atmosphere. There's a wrestling program Kids are, uh, getting medals every weekend, so they're doing great. Are you still part of teaching the children? I come in, like I volunteer now. I have my little baby, so Oh yeah. That's my little new training partner. Yeah. So I come in when I can. That's good. Tell me about Hollister BJJ. Kind of just back it up. It's great atmospheres. You'll always find a hard training partner. People go in there and they leave their everything on the mats. I think that's what it's all about. Leaving it on the mats and, we're able to hug and laugh about everything off the mats. So it's a big family. What is the hardest thing to overcome in jiu jitsu? I'd say your ego accepting that you could get beat by the smallest person. Your ego. Yeah. Nice. But if you have an ego, that's definitely the hardest thing to let go or get overcast. Okay. What has been the hardest thing for you to overcome? For me, it's just, I guess I'm kind of a perfectionist, so I expect a lot of myself. So if I, sometimes you're gonna have off days and you have to just accept that. So, yeah, absolutely. How about you? Yeah, I mean, getting over, like just getting smashed all day, learning how to deal with that and just remembering that it's growth. You know, you're learning, you're learning with others. All right. Okay guys, thank you for being on. It was short and sweet, but maybe someday we'll have each one of you on individually. I'm down. Okay, cool. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
